the conceit
What Amon Lendel is
Amon Lendel presumes a point of reference: a hill in the Angle of Eriador, in the years between the finding of the Ring and its going south. An attempt at a Last Homely House, made by Dúnedain stretched thin — a scriptorium of lesser space and ability, a harp scarred and knocked about, a place for keeping lore alive through thin times.
In practice: research, essays, sewing, leatherwork, metalwork, and collaborations, all trying to make the Professor's world sensorily real — following the books, not the movies.
And here in Rivendell there live still some of his chief foes.
