Version française ici Not so long ago, I completed my last post about Orcs with a stream session (which I like to call “streamlore”) on my Twitch channel.

[Version française ici] Do they Elves in Arda have free will? Or are they inevitably destined to serve the Light, just like the Orcs who are the eternal slaves of Darkness?

{Version française ici} A while ago, I received a few similar questions on Tumblr : …Do you have more headcanons about Felagund or would you mind elaborate more about his relationship with Andreth?...

{Version française ici] A short while ago, someone on Tumblr asked me to talk about the parallels I could see between Galadriel and and her brother Finrod. I repost my answer here. Felagund and Galadriel are alike in many ways, especially in their respective evolution, even though those two characters have quite different motives and … Lire la suite Galadriel & Finrod Felagund
