Summary: "For even after the ruin the hearts of the Dúnedain were still set westwards; and though they knew indeed that the world was changed, they said: 'Avallónë is vanished from the Earth and the Land of Aman is taken away, and in the world of this present darkness they cannot be found. Yet once they were, and therefore they still are, in true being and in the whole shape of the world as at first it was devised.'"

This podfic was posted as part of a commission-style fundraiser I am running to help my parents and brother, who have been evacuated from our family home due to the terrible fires in NorCal. As of time of posting there are five more podfics available if you would also like to support my family while we try to decide how to move forward.

not one girl I think
who looks on the light of the sun

have wisdom
like this

Because is this not the most Nerdanel quote there has ever been?

There are slight sound effects here, but I don't think they should be triggering for listeners with auditory epilepsy, and there is no dramatic reverb/echo for those with auditory processing issues. The biggest difference is in "distance" and a slight volume drop.
