Desperate to unify his people torn apart by the tragedy of the two kinslayings and the terrible destruction of the War of Wrath, Gil-galad forces Oropher to leave behind his young son to be trained and educated alongside Elrond, hoping the two kinsmen can become the bridge between the Sindar and the Noldor. But can Thranduil, traumatized and embittered by the horrific tragedies, see beyond his own hurt?
