Seventh Age-Song of the Sea-Silmarillion Combo Move
or, getting those stubborn lingering elves to the west
The catalyst-- our seaside singer, wandering ghost, dead wife husband, last of the House of Fëanor, by all means doing a lot better than he used to be and spending his quiet but haunted life as a fisherman. By the beautiful late 1970s, he marries a human woman, has two children, and is able to live peacefully and happily. Until he isn’t.
Ellena takes the place of Saoirse. She’s largely the same character, but the story kicks off with her discovery of Maglor’s harp on her sixth birthday instead of Bronagh’s seashell horn.
In the role of Ben we have Rusty. I’m sure we all know what his given name is, but even though he looks fondly upon its presence in his father’s stories, it’s just strange enough for his peers to ostracize him more than they already do. He’s ten years old and still struggling with the fact that he has a sister but no father.
Rusty makes the choice towards a mortal life as a child before he even knows it’s up to him when he assumes Maglor has died.
Huan is also here. Whether this is just a dog that Rusty named Huan after Maglor’s songs or a literal incarnation of Huan is irrelevant but it’s probably some of both.
The woman Maglor marries, Colleen, is the keeper of a lighthouse on one of the old peaks of Tol Himling. Sea levels have adjusted in the last four ages so it’s much closer to the coast, a gathering of rocky islands crowned by near forgotten ruins. Still want to get a design for her sorted.
