TGEW's house had fallen apart into a heap of potsherds, archeologist
Rikae discovered the fresco during excavations and mailed this description to his colleague,

"Mighty sea god, Cirdan, curses the single cloud that has thwarted his sailing plans."
And the mythology of Middle-earth never was the same again.
