¿Acaso la casa de Mandos no era un
lugar para sanar el alma?
Después de todo ¿que puede ser más
revigorizante para Caranthir que trabajar en lo que le gusta al lado
de su abuela, Miriel?
Y ya que estamos en el tema, ¿quien
más cree que la casa de Feanor hubiera sido mucho más feliz si en
vez de ser principes hubieran sido solo artesanos? *levanta la mano*
1. THANK YOU! Freckles are a very purposeful cause of death for me, @freckly people you are divine. 2. oh geez is my bias so obvious that’s actually…a hard question, because there are so feckin’ many people in the silm, but probably Voronwe
The Springwater meteorite is a pallasite, stony iron meteorite, found in 1931 near the town of Springwater, located about 100 miles west of Saskatoon, in Saskatchewan, Canada.
This meteorite has a matrix of fresh-appearing honey-yellow olivine beset with numerous jagged, irregular, projections of metal. The metal is dark rusty brown color.
Pallasites are an exceedingly rare type of meteorite, only 84 are currently known out of over 40,000 meteorites in world collections. They are typically unassuming in appearance on the exterior. Yet inside they are a striking combination of the chrome-green mineral olivine set in an iron-nickel matrix.
Origins if pallasites are still the subject of great debate. They may have formed deep within an asteroid, a small, moon-like body, and may represent the boundary layer between the core and mantle of such a body.
In 2009 meteorite hunters returned to the original discovery site and recovered over 100 kilograms of new material. Some of these pieces or fragments thereof can be found for sale online.
It has been suggested that the estimated age of this meteorite is 4.5-billion-year-old.
I couldn’t get a perfect overlay, but it’s close enough to give you a good idea of what was lost during the WoW.
Some things to note:
The deliberate sinkage of both Angband and Utumno
You can see two very deep divots up where Utumno would have been. It looks almost suspiciously as though the Valar took their rage out on the landscape, and then someone called out ‘uh hey guys, it was actually over the next hill all along, haha whoops’
The loss of ~80-90% of the land west of the Blue Mountains, and the loss of the Helcaraxe land/ice bridge
ie, one can no longer simply walk into Middle Earth
The loss of a good third of the southwestern part of the continent
No apparent reason, just collateral damage from all the ground-shaking violence happening in the far north. The War of Wrath must have seemed like the literal end of the world to those living through it.
The draining of the great inland Sea of Helcar
All that remains afterwards is the relatively tiny puddle that is the Sea of Rhun. Nothing else appears to have changed much until Sauron came in and set up his mountain-encircled fortress of solitude and sulking.
HELL yeah I love this!! :O
I think though that the hole in utumno was actually carved my Melkor himself:
(…) all the pits of Morgoth were broken and unroofed, and the might of the Valar descended into the deeps of the earth. There Morgoth stood at last at bay, and yet unvaliant. He fled into the deepest of his mines (…)
In the Silm I didn’t find anything that led us to believe that the host of the Valar dug any deeper than Melkor himself had, they just bared his fortress. Which is pretty cool in a horrible way, imagining his slaves exploring the mines deeper and deeper while he himselves carves up the bones of the earth…
