The last mention of the mariner Aelfwine/Eriol that I know of is a post LotR intro to the longer Narn of the the Children of Hurin written in the Post -LotR phase of the Silmarillion.
and published in War of the Jewels [complete lack of prior mention of this by CRT really makes me wonder what other little bombshells might be laying around waiting for the Vinyar Tengwar folks].

So I am interested on folks thoughts on the Eriol fragments/links do any of them still have a place in 'canonical silm' .

Of course one could just decide to create a silm w/these elements retained , but just how much if any was left in JRRt's later conceptions.

It ends on p.313 w/ '...and such lore as I[aelfwine] found in Eressea'.




Lindil is oft found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowdowns and working on a new Elven/Christian discussion board<a href="http://beta.ezboard.com/bosanwekenta" >Osanwe-Kenta</a> 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
