Many quotation marks because Elrond is telling Bilbo the tale, with some side forays re: wine and snacks. Though he's being unusually forthcoming, he's still leaving out a lot. For instance, here he's not mentioning that those who could tell them apart cared a lot

that never resolves. These shape his future role, his changing relationship with pain and self-harm, his relationship with Drisal and the power, and more.

Cerel: suffers a TBI during BK that causes severe headaches and changes his role in events.

Well I interrupted my hiatus today! Accidentally stumbled on #WSPit, jumped in late and what a fun event. Thanks for all the likes and shares!
I discovered lots of exciting new writers and stories today too! π

Will be seeking beta readers next year.
A quote on a white rectangle that fades into a background of a jagged mountain. The quote is as follows: " Rin Kel Vran kept seventeen knives hidden on her person. That was, seventeen she was worried the coppers would find if they frisked her. Well, sixteen knives she was worried they would find, and one they definitely already knew about, because it was brandished bare in her hand, wet to the hilt with blood."
Rin believes other people just let you down, so thanks but no thanks to a quest to get rich and better the world. Except she's the only one who can access the magic they're seekingβstupid ancestorβso Rin and all her knives get kidnapped. Someone's getting stabbed for this.
