Eärendil’s Quest

Belariand has fallen. All the kingdoms of this one great land have been crushed, one by one, by the dark lord Morgoth. The last survivors have huddled near a river far to the south and on an island not far from the shore. However, when a semblance of peace seems to have been achieved, tragedy strikes anew as the sons of the elven smith Fëanor turn on their people and slaughter them. The goal? To take the last Silmaril that remains to the elves. Forged by their father in days before the sun and moon, this holy gem shines with a bright light. Fortunately your wife, Elwing, has escaped with the Silmaril and has been delivered to you, Eärendil the mariner, by Ulmo, the lord of waters. Now only one thing remains to be done: take the Silmaril as your lamp and sail to valinor, where the Valar, the Powers of the World, dwell and tell them of the need of those back on Middle Earth. It won’t be an easy voyage; as the Valar have set enchanted isles in the sea that will suffer no man to pass, and their magic has created great shadows and great bewilderment, and storms and monsters lie in your path. However with the Silmaril as your lantern, a path through them will surely be found. You must make this voyage; the people of Middle Earth need you! This is inspired by the voyage of Eärendil from the backstory of the Lord of the Rings, though I added some of my own elements to make the Talkie more interesting.
