I have been a member of this community for a while now - and only today I thought, hey! why didn´t I ever advertise my WIP, "Full of Wisdom and Perfect in Beauty"? I have never felt up to publishing it all on LJ, but I can always paste links.

It´s a long story about the Downfall of Númenor, from the accession of Ar-Sakalthôr to Ar-Pharazôn´s Armada -hopefully. Compliant with the couple of vignettes I´ve posted here before. Full warnings inside.

Months (years?) ago, I posted a vignette to this community. It was actually part of an arc, about a Númenorean family of notorious traitors, and this is the follow-up. Um. Well. That´s about it, really.

Oh, also, the character featuring in this vignette, Melkorbazer, is mentioned extensively in my fic "Full of Wisdom and Perfect in Beauty", concretely in the chapter "Andúnië" of the second arc. Like with his ancestor Alissha, I wanted to know more about him, but it could be I´m the only one...

No warnings- well, one for a mention to attempted suicide, I guess.

I am a new member. Well, I´ve been a member of the ML and the archive for a while, but I didn´t have a LJ until now.
In the Tolkien fanfiction world, I sign either as Gadira or as Maeve (Riannon).

I am aware that this is the Fëanorian month, but I´m going to snub them and post a Númenor-based vignette. Knowing them, they will probably take it *very* badly, but I will compromise: if they decide to celebrate "Granny-day" in honour of Míriel the Broideress, I´ll publish 4 related fics. One even has Fëanor in it. :)

Notes: This vignette is based on my long fic about Númenor: "Full of Wisdom and Perfect in Beauty". ( http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=82) Alissha is an original character mentioned there. She was the eldest niece of Ar-Belzagar, and an unsucessful pretender to the Númenorean Sceptre. After losing the civil war against her cousin Ar-Adunakhôr, she was imprisoned in the Tower of Meneldur.
At the start of my fic, she is alread dead, but the shadow that she projects on later events is so long that I thought she deserved her five minutes of spotlight.

Summary: Vignette based on Full of Wisdom and Perfect in Beauty. No spoilers.
Alissha, entombed in her prison, surrenders to desperation.
