Also, I couldn't help but write


And they won't call me one of their own
They will know me as nothing but a traitor
I will perish, though the fault is mine alone
They'll know me as Maeglin.

What, a Trial of Maeglin? Probably (though not today - that was a good hour's work!), but I'm not sure what defence there is for 'I tried to stab a small boy because I saw his dad coming to get me'.

... are you filking Heather Dale, here? I'd assume not, she's pretty niche, but... if not, are you referencing something, or just writing poetry (which is fine!)?

Maeglin was a rat. End of. No excuses, and he got what was coming to him.

He might - might - have betrayed Gondolin because he was tortured, but the whole infanticide-and-rape thing was on him, solely.
