The Last Maker  by Ecthelion of the fountain 15 Review(s)

Sometimes consolation or defense is not what we want or need. In that, at least, perhaps Annatar did him a favor all unwitting. However, I don’t think revealing anything of himself to Annatar is wise, no matter how many Rings of Power they create together….

Author Reply: It would be unwise—if he truly knew whom he was dealing with! Yet, Annatar was gradually lowering his guard, step by step.

And Annatar knows that - he’s playing upon this desire that can never be fully realized.

I must admit I’ve only read about the forging of the Rings of Power once - did they know Annatar was a Maia? Or is that your own speculation?

Enjoying!

Author Reply: Thanks!!

It wasn’t stated whether the Elves of Eregion knew he was a Maia, but I speculate that they did—there was no other plausible explanation that could convince Elves who had seen the Ainur with their own eyes, especially Celebrimbor himself.

Of course Annatar is now a polite guest - he’s made his point and his impression. He knows (or thinks) he’s in overall control of the situation…

Author Reply: And he was patient, willing to earn the trust he needed to advance his agenda.

He has quite the dreams ….

Very intriguing that Annatar’s voice is like his father’s - and probably not at all an accident.

Author Reply: You are absolutely right—nothing about Annatar is accidental!

Yes - Annatar as you have written him seems quite dangerous. So self-possessed. I will be interested to see how this ‘friendship’ progresses.

Author Reply: Thanks! He was carefully balancing the suggestion of what he had to offer—just enough to intrigue, but not so much as to provoke resistance. A calculated, shrewd game.
