Alright - please read my outline and let me know if you think I should change anything.In episode 2, Gilraen objects to teaching about Melkor, due to the fact that the Numenoreans worshipped him, not because of the darkness of the story. In this episode, she objects to the fairy-tale nature of the story, for this story is just as dark as that of Episode 2.
Elrond's comforting note is supposed to suggest that they are talking about Gilraen and her son as well as the story he is telling. She is depressed and he tries to tell her that her story isn't over.Ok, just some notes based on the discussion we had for this episode.
We had left off with the idea to use metal being Mairon's rather than Melkor's (which I see was missed before you got to it), with Melkor coming up with the method of production. Aulë had originally been focussed on the idea of making them as mountains, saying that if they are as big as the plan calls for, they would be too wide, and possibly even collapse the crust.
Everything else is pretty much as we had it, though I would ask that there be more foreboding with the end of this episode. Elrond's pronouncement that the story isn't over yet, should not necessarily hold a hopeful note, considering where we are going to go next.
Were they actually raised or just tutored by Elrond?
I wish I had the time to do more.Certainly, it would be most beneficial if the people doing the outlines tweak the content to improve it. (If I do the outlines, I'm most likely to copy what I already had with minimal editing, so please, add value!)
