The Roses of Ilúvatar
". . .in nothing is the power of the Dark Lord more clearly shown than in the estrangement that divides all those who still oppose him." --Haldir, the March Warden of the North. A tale of the effects of ignorance and prejudice, and the evil they bring. This piece and the "Jewels of his Existence" were once two sides of the same coin. They are now one story. AU and proud of it. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHAPTER STRUCTURE OF THIS STORY AND ITS COMPANION "JEWELS OF HIS EXISTENCE" HAVE BEEN CHANGED. UNTIL I HAVE TIME TO TRULY MERGE THEM, PLEASE SEE CHAPTER SEQUENCE FOR GUIDANCE. Thank you!
