Summary
An ambitious young Noldorin man of Ost-in-Edhil lands a coveted appointment as an apprentice to the most skilled master smith of the Gwaith-i-Mirdain: Istyar Aulendil. The apprentice's mentor, a prodigy of the Aulënossë, has been sent to Middle-earth by the Valar and has knowledge of exotic and wondrous technology. Istyar Aulendil also has notoriously high standards. The apprentice must meet his mentor's expectations if he is to become a journeyman and work on an important new initiative.
Adult rating is given for mature references , but in particular for examination of a mortal man's disturbed thoughts and sexual predilections: non-consensual sex and pederasty are commented upon in Chapters 7 & 9, but there are no explicit descriptions of such. The Adult rating is also given for some violent imagery in Chapter 12. As for the alternative history and my abiding affection for "scientifiction," well, forewarned is forearmed.

Summary
EDIT: This is very old and here for archival purposes! Snappy enough tho.
Gil-galad, the Star of Radiance... Last High King of the Noldor in Middle-Earth, leader with Elendil of Numenor of the Last Alliance, bearer of Vilya, wielder of the spear Aeglos, slain in combat with Sauron in the siege of Barad-Dur...
... an awesome character who deserved more than a single 0.5 sec shot in the FotR movie prologue!
thus, my rant. Humourous, closely formatted on The Fall of Gil-galad as sung by Sam Gamgee in The Fellowship of the Ring. -
