A year ago today my beloved cat Shaka died. I still miss him very much.
While he was ill I started writing a rather sad ‘Lord of the Rings’/’Forgotten Realms’ crossover story called ‘Les Morts Dansant. I stopped writing it when he died but recently I picked it up again and I’ve now finished it. This isn’t the final part but I’ll post the concluding chapter, and then a short Epilogue, over the next few days. Previous parts can be found HERE.
Crossover between ‘The Lord of the Rings’ (Book-verse) and the ‘Forgotten Realms’ stories set in the ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ game-world of Faerûn – the canon Forgotten Realms, in which ‘Tabula Avatar’ and its sequels never happened, and terrible things happened instead.
Summary: following the death of Eilistraee, goddess of the good Drow, a few of her worshippers decide to flee from Faerûn and find a way of reaching another world; Middle Earth, shortly after the end of the Ring War, during Éomer King’s courtship of Princess Lothíriel of Dol Amroth. When a vengeful Haradrim warlord carries out a devastating attack the Drow get caught up in it. In a world where ‘black’ is almost a synonym for evil can the Drow win friendship and respect? First they have to survive a brutal siege where they are heavily outnumbered…
