Before the Sun. Before anyone in Middle-earth has ever needed the word "war."
A man from our world wakes up as one of the first elves who ever lived.
No system. What he has is messier than any of that. A head full of knowledge about a world that hasn't been built yet, and the memory of every terrible thing coming for the people sleeping around him.
He can't stop all of it. He's honest enough to admit that.
Some of it, though? Maybe.
But that comes later. First there's the small problem of building a nation out of nothing.
That's the story. Not the war waiting at the end of it, but the work that comes first. The slow, stubborn, sometimes impossible task of taking a handful of elves who looked the gods in the eye and said no, and making a civilization out of them.
