So...if we're changing indiscriminate parts of the Silmarillion to keep Lalaith alive, I want to introduce a character to Maedhros who can possibly persuade him to give up violence forever.

I've put a lot of thought into this. After a battle this elf-princess of no particular kingdom would come across him while he is wounded, and nurse him back to health, impressing him with her gentle and peacelike ways. She would be tall and womanly, with long blonde hair and piercing green eyes. She is very accomplished in singing, dancing, fainting, cooking, magick, healing, and killing only when absolutely needed.

The only flaw in her is that she looks exactly like me. Not that there's anything wrong with me, I thought I would give her some realism
so this serious character is not confused with a common Mary-Sue.

Oh good. I'm glad we've got that point cleared up.

It's Alive!

Looks like this thread won't die for anything short of having its head cut off and placed between its buttocks...

For clarification, are we still in the alternative timeline where Lalaith became Goldberry, or have I missed something?

Why not? We're all trying to get Urwen to agree that Maedhros didn't mean to kill Lalaith. That statement is totally absurd - see my last post for my reasonings.

This is the thread that never ends,
Yes, it goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started posting here, not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue posting here forever, just because... (repeat ad infinitum)
