Sealord Father has a new chapter out and ready for you!

The story is set in an alternative universe where Adar has led the Uruk to the sea to become pirates rather than turning the Southlands into Mordor. The events transpire during the Second Age with a change to the timeline around Sauron's return and the destruction of Númenor.

The Ghost Elf and his spectral crew are wreaking havoc across the vast Sundering Seas. Admiral Veanelen is on a mission to keep the waters safe for all. However, she soon uncovers a concealed agenda behind the reports of piracy, revealing a bigger danger to the free peoples of Middle-earth.

For a group of semi-nomadic outlaws, these Uruk pirates have a well developed parliamentary democracy. This means that not even their immortal forefather and deified leader can simply relocate them and change their lifestyle without contention.

Adar needs your support on this Moot!

FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.

While looking hot.

And ill add you to a master list so we can support each other.

As we descend deeper into the story, it is time to discuss the two families that are– as we’ll find out -- rather involved in this tale. 

Aldarion’s family: The Line of Elros

Aldarion (or, as he originally was called, Anardil) was the son of the fifth King of Númenor, Meneldur, and his wife, Queen Almarian. At this point in time, the royal family practiced agnatic primogeniture in succession, which meant the Crown was always passed to the male line . Thus, Meneldur’s two older sisters were excluded from inheriting the sceptre. Silmariën, the eldest, married Elatan of Andúnië, and from her came – in the fullness of time -- Amandil, Elendil, and his sons.

Queen Almarian was the daughter of Vëantur, the Captain of the King’s Ships, who was the first of Númenóreans to return to Middle-earth and meet High King Gil-galad and Círdan the Shipwright – almost six hundred years after the Edain sailed for their island reward.

Much was expected of Aldarion as a royal prince from the Line of Elros– above all to care for Númenor and its people. He, however, had larger dreams, awoken in him by his very first voyage on sea -- as we recounted in our first part of this series.

Erendis’ family: House of Bëor  

Erendis was the daughter of Beregar and Núneth. Beregar’s family descended from one Beleth, daughter of Bregolas of the First Age. Bregolas was notable for being the brother of Barahir and the uncle of Beren Erchamion himself, as well as the grandfather of Túrin and Tuor. Although a very illustrious family, Bëor’s descendants amongst the Edain were known to have a shorter lifespan than even ordinary Númenóreans. We illustrated the difference in Part 2 of this series. 

As we’ll see later, Tolkien doesn’t paint any of the women in these families in a positive light. Queen Almarian indulges her son far too much, and Núneth often interferes with the developing relationship by giving Erendis questionable advice. As both Aldarion and Erendis have personality traits that aren’t exactly compatible (or even particularly worth cultivating), the advice of these two women often brings further conflict, exacerbating the already fragile bond.

Speaking of that, more developments next week!

Yes ma'am

I am declaring March 15 as a day to celebrate Adar, who, like Caesar, was betrayed and stabbed to death by colleagues.

You can celebrate Adar Ides of March with fan art, fan fiction, cosplay, your Rings of Power action figures or dolls, fan music, fan comics, or whatever fan activity strikes your fancy. If you are not a creator, drop nice comments on other people's Adar fan art and fan fiction.
