    Sob! Maglor’s hands are burned from the Silmaril and Maedhros’s fëa is hovering over him. It’s too beautiful.

    Heartbreaking! Poor Maglor is the only one left! Maedhros almost looks at peace, freed from the oath at last.

    Since Maglor remained forever on the shore, do you think he died in the Mountain Wave that destroyed Numenor?
