Description

"Andreth adaneth, the life and love of the Eldar dwells much in memory; and we (if not ye) would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end. Now he will ever remember thee in the sun of morning, and that last evening by the water of Aeluin in which he saw thy face mirrored with a star caught in thy hair - ever, until the North-wind brings the night of his flame. Yea, and after that, sitting in the House of Mandos in the Halls of Awaiting until the end of Arda."

Ha haaa have you ever been blindsided by feels you hadn't thought about in ages?

Andreth was a human woman who loved Aegnor, an elf. He returned her feelings, but he never pursued it because 1) elves don't get married/have a family when war is going on, and he suspected that crap was about to hit the fan, and 2) it'd probably end horribly. Neither married, and he died in battle not long after. Of course, elves usually chilled awhile in the Halls of Awaiting for and then return to the world, but he apparently never wished to do so. Presumably because she would not be there.

I want more information about them, but, alas, there is none. And it's from the obscure freakin TENTH volume of the History of Middle-Earth so how much fan material do you suppose is out there to get your fix with? NOT A LOT.

This isn't perfect but hotdog what an improvement over the last time I tried to draw them.
