The Silmarillion Survivor

[Gothmog]

Well, we could vote off Arien, thereby plunging Beleriand into darkness, because moonlight is so much more romantic. But then, a bunch of nitwits went and voted off Tilion (and therefore the Moon) ...

Still, the stars would remain. And candlelight is pretty romantic. Surely such conditions would be bound to make all the ladies swoon for a chap like Turin ...

Plus, if it's dark enough there'll be impossible to seperate people and a few loving couples could be created by pure luck!

But wouldn't ME be a gloomy place without both the sun and the moon?

As always, there's plenty of ways to deal with this problem. If we're going to make Turin's lovelife more convoluted, we can either make more women fall for him, make more men fall for Finduilas, make Finduilas fall fall for more men and so on. I've always thought the "romantic situation" was tricky and tragic enough without any more twistes.

I wonder how a removal of the curse of Morgoth would help in this situation? By removing this heavy burden, do you think Turin will attract more women? Or be more willing to give his heart to someone?

And if we removed Orodreth and if Finduilas was to be queen and thereby drawing more suitors to her, would that make things much worse? What I would like to do is to add a second girl, someone to love Gwindor but be loved by Turin. That would be the ultimate situation, but could that be done? Maybe not but I'll think about it and see if I can come up with a solution...
