Summary
"Nine ships there were: four for Elendil, and for Isildur three, and for Anarion two; and they fled before the gale out of the twilight of doom into the darkness of the world. [...] And all the coasts and seaward regions of the western world suffered great change and ruin in that time; for the seas invaded the lands, and shores foundered."

Summary
"And it came to pass that Tar-Palantir grew weary of grief and died. He had no son, but a daughter only, whom he named Míriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. But Pharazôn took her to wife against her will..." (The Akallabeth)

Summary
"Isildur gave this counsel to Meneldil, that the King should visit the hallow from time to time, and especially when he felt the need of wisdom in days of danger or distress; and thither also he should bring his heir, when he was full-grown to manhood, and tell him of the making of the hallow, and reveal to him the secrets of the realm and other matters that he should know." Faramir tries to follow an ancient custom, with some difficulty.

Only a Woman II by Marta
Lord of the Rings - Fandom, Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
27 Dec 2010
Summary
These four vignettes were inspired by the Advent themes. They focus on the four noble women of Gondor and Rohan around the time of the Ring War, and are each inspired by a candle on the Advent wreath, and by an inequality that I consider the mark of a broken world.

Summary
A pair of vignettes examining the after-effects of Isildur's refusal to destroy the ring.
- Jus ad Bellum is a character study of Elrond. It also features a cameo by Valandil (Isildur's son) and references to Maglor, Gil-Galad and Isildur.
- Jus in Bello is more political in nature. Set after Elrond's journey to Valinor, it features Gil-galad and Elrond in equal measures, and again discusses Isildur.
