I am not a rigid purist! I'll buy this version and keep right on spinning all the stories and songs of the new future. It came so close. Less a few details and a betrayal and it could have happened your way. Fingon and Maedhros were not stupid people and they believed it was their one big chance to win. Wow! You really made it feel so real.

One of my favorite citations from The Silmarillion, that it would be nice to read without gnashing my teeth in despair:

Then when Fingon heard afar the great trumpet of Turgon his brother, the shadow passed and his heart was uplifted, and he shouted aloud: 'Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!' And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered crying: 'Auta i lómë! The night is passing!'

Great story!
