The 'Gift' of men and the Athrabeth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think the Athrabeth would make a fine addition to the appendicies and would be better off there than 'cluttering up' the Silmarilion itself. I think that anything that doesn't contribute to the telling of the story that is the silmarilion, belongs in an appendix.

As far as Voronwe's idea, he may be right and he may not, but without that theory being suggested by tolkien, what place would it have in our Silmarilion?
