Why is The Second Prophecy of Mandos included in TNS?
Since per the notes to the Athrabeth, Tolkien recontextualized this legend as a Mannish/Numenorean myth?
Not that I'm advocating removing the actual details of it, but the current fusion of the 'Prophecy of Mandos' + the mention of 'it is said among Men' seems like fanfic.
