Fic: "Lament for Halwen"

[ermingarden]

I'm so excited to say that fiona15351 and I have just posted our poetry/art collab "Lament for Halwen"! Fiona's art is totally gorgeous, so check it out for that if nothing else!

Summary:
Halwen the Spearwoman was a Avarin elf who joined the service of Maedhros Fëanorion shortly before the Dagor Aglareb and died fighting against her lord at Sirion. The untitled Sindarin text commemorating her, known today as the "Lament for Halwen," survives in a single manuscript now preserved at the Library of Rivendell.

Halwen is an OC from my 2021 TRSB fic, "Letters from Himring", and this fic only exists because of the folks who told me they'd like to see more of her <3

That was a delight! I liked the background/worldbuilding information given around the lament.

Thank you!!! I've been having a ton of fun with the mock academic writing in this series.

You had me for a hot minute though. I wondered why you had fun with the copy-paste function from Wikipedia. Lol
