Beneath a lattice of sun and leaf in the palace garden, the sons of Fëanor have come together. Their voices—laughter, sharp debate, the ring of steel—fill the warm air. In a sun-drenched clearing, several brothers move through a sparring dance, their blades a swift, glittering dialogue of threat and grace. Others lounge on the thick grass, arguing with the intense, familiar heat of a shared history. The fragrance of jasmine and rose hangs sweetly, a fragile veil over the deeper scent of iron and the unspoken weight of their oath.
