The Ringbearers depart Middle-earth, on a voyage over the ocean
rightly called the Sundering Seas. One among them leaves behind his
three children, to an unknown fate. What awaits him at the ship's

millennium ago, will there be more heartbreak at the end of his
journey? Or can he hope for a joyful reunion with his beloved in the
Blessed Realm?

Letters written to, from, and about Legolas, Lord of Dol Galenehtar.
The Queen of Eryn Lasgalen has decided her son needs a wife, and

the record straight. Preceeded by short stories "Remember",
"Remembering More", and "Remembering Aright" that can be found in my
Pearl's Pearls collection of stories at Stories of Arda.
