Prediction 8. Gil-galad’s letter.

Tolkien Prediction #8

I predicted that Gil-Galad wrote a letter of some kind to some person or other. For anyone who knows Tolkien and the story, that’s a very strange conjunction of mighty elven hero who fell at the hands of Sauron in Mordor, whose star fell in Mordor…and him sitting at a desk penning a missive. Hahaha. Not many letters are written in his works…they’re mostly the preoccupation of sedentary hobbits and the like, at the opposite end of the spectrum to the likes of Gil-Galad.

“When Aldarion left the chamber, MenelDûr looked at the letter that his son had given him, wondering; for he saw that it came from King Gil-galad in Lindon. It was sealed and bore his device of white stars upon a blue ronDûre.”

ALDARION AND ERENDIS, Unfinished Tales.

This was derived from my theory regarding the true identity of Gil-Galad.
