curufin has better things to do than pose for picture day. he has a son to raise. baby tyelpe decided that he also has better things to do, like seeing if his father’s hair is good leverage for climbing (spoiler: it’s not)

so I threw the official maps into a geographic information system and aligned them as best I could (grid in km)

And I very roughly vectorised some of the woods and rivers of Beleriand so I could measure them more easily:

Looks like I managed to get the size reasonably accurate. We're told in the Quenta that the length of Sirion from the Pass to the Mouths is 121 leagues (= 584.2 km) and that it's 40 leagues (= 193.1 km) from the confluence of Little & Greater Gelion to the confluence of Ascar and Gelion.

Only Narog should be 80 leagues (= 386.2 km) long but is >50 km longer than that for some reason …

(ignore the ellipsoidal lengths. we cannot use a map projection of course)

SO NOW I can tell you fun things like that the Isle of Balar is almost as large as Mallorca (3109 km²) and the Forest of Region is about the size (and shape) of South East England (19 144 km²)!

but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.

Maeglin in Nan Elmoth. I decided that Nan Elmoth is so creepy to everybody cause its the same forest from hungarian folktales. I believe Nan Elmoth is made out of every rich metal/material and the "sun light" is just reflection, which is not as strong of light thus why Maeglins eyes hurt so much in Gondolin.

I might do a fanfic of this au, don't know yet tho

I like to think that Maglor's hair went white-streaked (inspired by Gwindor). Centuries of grief, guilt & loneliness have worn Maglor down to a shadow of his former self 😔
