so there is one count of incest but once she finds out she throws herself in a gorge. so all's well that ends well

finally some more lembas lore

my cheatsheet for understanding wtf's going on in this book has now grown to 5 going on 6 pages

Varda commanded the Moon to [... pass] under Earth to arise in the east, but only after the Sun had descended from heaven. But Tilion went with uncertain pace, as yet he goes, and was still drawn towards Arien, as he shall ever be; so that often both may be seen above the Earth together, or at times it will chance that he comes so nigh that his shadow cuts off her brightness and there is a darkness amid the day.

idk if i can get on board with the hall of the gods being called the "ring of doom" it's too confusing

even if it wasn't in such a ring-centric world it's a a bit evil sounding

this is like reading the bible, and it's NOT bc it contains the lotr equiv of genesis
