Lithil-RaVen
The War of the Ring has finally come to an end, ushering in the Fourth Age after a battle marked by far too many losses. Long-desired peace settles over Middle-earth, yet the wounds of war sit deep. Too deep to forget any time soon. Too fresh not to break open again with every memory.
And yet, at times hope prevails. Lithil and Legolas have managed to step out of their own shadows and admit their feelings for one another. Since their first meeting there had been more than friendship between them; but now they may call each other husband and wife, even if Aragorn and Gimli will argue until the end of their days about who truly brought the two lovebirds together.
As husband and wife, Legolas and Lithil travel together to Ithilien in this part of the tale. A land that promises peace and hope, and holds a great place in both their hearts. Freed from Sauron's shadow, it is meant to blossom anew. Together with the Elven aid from Lórien and Imladris, the Elves of Thranduil's realm strive to build a new city. In Ithilien, dôr uin en meth, the land of the end, or the beginning.
Yet peace has sharp edges. The new daily life brings challenges, especially when shadows of the past emerge and peace, as so often, proves to be an illusion. What happens when two warriors suddenly become lord and lady of a growing realm?
