Greetings.

The sun is bright and warm here, and I have rested well. I should now like to have some questions answered, if there are any here with the wisdom to do so.

I am called Findekáno. I am the eldest son of Ñolofinwë, grandson of Finwë, and I am the High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand. As I stood on the battlefield prior to arriving here, I am grieved and concerned at what may befall my men in my absence. How do I return? What fell power has brought me here?

Edit: I am told that I may be better known by my Sindarin name, Fingon, and my father by his, Fingolfin.

We're... not rightly sure of that, milord! I mean, we have some ideas of course, of being "read into" this world, by a little girl and ~~a sadistic bastard~~ her... father, I presume...? I mean, I have no idea, myself, and I've been here a good month - a moon cycle to you, milord...! I mean, I have no clue what's going on, other than this simple greeting:

Welcome to Neverland! Heh!

	Edain? I am sorry, but... I'm... not sure I understand your dialect, milord...! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Edain. Atani. The Second-born children of Ilúvatar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed, milord? Well... I suppose compared to you Eldar lot, I AM a second-born child of... Ilúvatar, at that...! Though... honestly, I STILL have no idea of what you speak. I AM the second born of my own family, I mean; I have an older brother, who isn't here... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ilúvatar first created the Eldar, the Elves, immortal within the life of Arda. Then he created the Edain, the Atani, who received a special gift in that their lives were not tied to Arda, but in death escaped the confines of the world, and go to where we know not.

Ahh, I see now...! Then, yes, I AM a second-born child.of Ilúvatar... although... I strongly suspect that THIS is exactly where we end up when we die...! Though... I'm afraid that still wouldn't explain what all you Elvish lot are doing here, too! If your lives are tied to the fate of Arda, and this definitely isn't Arda...

I mean, forgive me, milord, for speculating on the greater design, about which I know nothing.

	The histories record our Sindarin names, brother. Use them as they're easier to reference, and it's unlikely any know who we are in Quenya. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ai, Elenwë! But how is such thing possible? And Aikanáro! Has Mandos released us all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
