Title: Once Upon a Springtime in Doriath
Author Name: Robinka/binkaslibrary
Prompt: Your character gets caught in a spring rainstorm. What happens next?
Summary: A few glimpses at the everyday life of the Grey Folk of Doriath. There will be a spring rainstorm and characters stuck in it as my B2MeM prompt says, but here, you won't see heartbreak, sadness, death or that dreadful shadow that hovered over Beleriand. The Sindar deserve peace and quiet once in a while.
Rating: PG

Author's Notes:
-- I've smuggled a little bit of Slavic mythology to Doriathrin tradition -- drowning an effigy (in Polish called Marzanna) was one of seasonal celebrations and symbolized rebirth of nature. It's still cultivated in some regions of my homeland.

-- The sport in which a horse pulls a skier is popular here in the mountains and is called skiring.

-- Súllinn and Miniel are my original female characters who feature in my other story Carmina Brethilia. You might want to check it out to find out more about them.

-- Lossel [Sindarin]: loss = snow, gel = joy.
