Description
Finrod Felagund meets the first men. He wins them with his beautiful music and his wisdom, and the men take him for their lord. Even to Bëor, chieftain of the men, man’s history is opaque. Men too have been sundered, and there exist various groups with distinct languages. The Green Elves do not welcome men, and Thingol forbids them from entering Doriath. Men spread throughout Beleriand, dwelling amongst the Noldor. Bëor joins Felagund in Nargothrond. Some men become discontent with their partnership with the Elves. But one rises to speak. Who is it?

The Sea has no shore. There is no Light in the West. You have followed a fool-fire of the Elves to the end of the world! Which of you has seen the least of the Gods? Who has beheld the Dark King in the North?"
