Here is the rough outline from yesterday's session:
Main plot -Fingon
1. Fingon is living in the Camp of Fingolfin on the northern end of Lake Mithrim. He learns that Fëanor is dead and Maedhros is captive in Angband. Fingon is frustrated by the division of the Noldor.
2. Morgoth makes a cloud of smoke to hide Angband from the Sun. Seeing his opportunity, Fingon makes up his mind to rescue Maedhros. He leaves without the other Noldor knowing his intentions.
3. Fingon in Thangorodrim. The task seems impossible. He cannot find any way in. He searches the mountains for a secret entrance.
4. Fingon gives up. He sits down and starts to sing and play his harp. Maedhros is close by above him and answers. Fingon climbs up and sees Maedhros' predicament.
5. Maedhros begs Fingon to shoot him. Fingon readies his bow and prays to Manwë. The arrival of Thorondor.
6.Fingon tries to free Maedhros. Instead, he cuts off his hand. Thorondor carries them away. Someone from Angband is a witness to the escape.
7. Thorondor brings Fingon and Maedhros back to Mithrim. They land in {which camp?}, greeted by both factions.
Angband Story
1. The sunlight causes great dismay to Morgoth's armies.
2. Morgoth makes a cloud of smoke to hide Angband from the Sun.
3. Someone from Angband (who?) is a witness to Maedhros' escape. Morgoth is very alarmed by Thorondor's involvement.
Círdan’s Story
1. Meets the Noldor (Host of Fingolfin)
2. Begins to learn Quenya and start asking questions about why the Noldor are here.
3. Celeborn sees Galadriel
4. Sends news to Doriath
Fingolfin’s Story
1. Learns that Fëanor is dead and Maedhros is captive; Maglor (really Curufin) leads the Fëanoreans.
2. Reforges Ringil
3. Tension with Fëanorean Camp – What can be done?
4. Tension with Círdan – What not to tell?
Maglor's Story
1. Their dismay among themselves when Fingolfin shows up with a bigger host.
2. Exchanging news, briefly.
3. Some kind of contact with the Sindar?
4. Discussing what the heck to do now that Fingolfin may or may not want revenge. Curufin undermining Maglor's leadership
5. Reacting to a messenger accusing them of kidnapping Fingon
Italicized = added. Strikethrough = we were requested to cut these.
And here is what we came up with in the thread as far as putting it all together goes:
1. Fingolfin's folk meet the Fëanoreans. Fingolfin learns that Fëanor is dead, and that Maedhros is missing. Fingon is frustrated by the division of the Noldor.
2. Círdan and some Falathrim come down to meet Fingolfin's folk. Celeborn sees Galadriel but they don't really meet.
3. Círdan asks questions. Fingolfin doesn't mention the Kinslaying or the Helcaraxë. The Noldor came to fight Morgoth.
4. Morgoth makes a cloud of smoke to hide Angband from the Sun. Seeing his opportunity, Fingon makes up his mind to rescue Maedhros.
5. Fingolfin is with his inner circle, discusses the problems they have with the Fëanoreans and how to deal with the elves of Middle-earth. But where is Fingon?
6. Fingon in Thangorodrim. The task seems impossible.
7. Angband: Morgoth is happy with the cloud. He recieves news about the awakening of the Men. He leaves for the East.
8. Cirdan sends Annael to Doriath as a messenger. Celeborn and Galadriel have a first conversation.
9. Fingon gives up. He sits down and starts to sing. Maedhros is close by above him and answers. He climbs up.
10. Angband: Gothmog takes control over the Angband administration. He orders Boldog to raise a new army. Sauron’s task is ‘outer operations’.
11. Fëanoreans consider their options. Things look pretty bad, since they are outnumbered by the rest of the Noldor, whom they have betrayed. They expect some kind of attack.
12.Fingon tries to free Maedhros. The cutting, the arrival of Thorondor.
13. Someone from Angband is a witness to the escape.
14.Thorondor brings Fingon and Maedhros back to Mithrim.
Note: The italicized items in this part are likely Episode 2 material, but we can discuss that tonight.
