Back to Middle-earth Month

The Silmarillion chapter "Of the Ruin of Beleriand" tells how Emeldir (wife of Barahir and mother of Beren) led the remaining women and children of Dorthonion "by perilous paths" into Brethil, and among them were Rían and Morwen. I have always thought that Emeldir, with her courage and determination and willingness to put aside her own feelings for the sake of leadership, must have been something of a role model for Morwen. I would love to read more about their journey, what enemies they had to fight, what perils they faced, and how Emeldir brought them through. But I'd be happy with anything as long as Emeldir and Morwen have a moment together.
