Welcome to the Library
Who: Open Post
What: Opening Post
Where: All over the library and its grounds
Warnings: [to be edited if necessary]
Today the Great Library opens its doors to all Patrons, who have come from many of the stories and books all available on the shelves.
For this first visit, Patrons will be restricted to the Library and its grounds.
Fortunate, then, that these are impressive indeed - large gardens set up for all sorts of activities, woods surrounding the area and in the Library itself? Cafes, internet access, and the best weapons in the universe: books.
Do enjoy your first visit to the Library, Patron, and always remember the rules.
The Rules of the Library
1. Patrons cannot read further ahead in their own stories than the time they have arrived from. Any attempt to do so will result in being met with blank pages.This lack of information will also occur if trying to find out spoilers online.
2. Patrons cannot tell other Patrons how their story ends. Any attempt to do so will find the Patron unable to find the words to explain it.
3. All books must be shelved correctly.
4. Do Not Harm the Books
5. Do not interfere with the nature of Narrative Causality

WELL I MEAN LOOK AT THE LOYALTY HE COMMANDS SURELY AT ONE POINT
"You are mortal, and young, with a very kind heart." He says softly. "I would not say such things where any of the Sindar or Silvan can hear you. But I thank you."
SHOW ME ONE KIND THING HE EVER DID. SERIOUSLY. EVEN ONE.
Which is to say that he's honest, not a complete idiot.

[[ ooc: obviously nothing quantifiable in canon, but /gestures at Maedhros and Maglor, and in fact, all the brothers. Look you don't get that sort of loyalty if you were a tyrant or abusive (and I get very irritated with fics that portray him that way). And it is implied that in the beginning anyway, Nerdanel and he were very much in love (I mean seven kids yo), so he must have been nice to her, at least. All seven brothers are raised to be the best of their whatever profession, which implies a father who was concerned with making sure his kids got the very best education he could get them, even if they didn't share his particular interests (and then he has a very obvious favourite, but well Feanor is very much the opposite of perfect). Mae & Mags are clearly good foster parents, considering how Elrond & Elros turned out, and yes, obvious we don't know how long the E's were actually with them but 'at least a few years' is a pretty safe bet, and they'd only have had their own parents to model, so Feanor can't have been THAT bad a father. Even Curufin SOMEHOW managed to raise a son with enough backbone to go SCREW YOU DAD YOU ARE WRONG and Daddy's Favourite almost certainly emulated his own father in his parenting. Is Feanor an Asshole? Absolutely yes. But I really honestly don't think he was cruel, or without redeeming features. ]]
Maglor winces. "To you perhaps. But my family's track record with the Ainur has not been particularly good or favourable. I am as pleased to avoid him as he must almost certainly be to avoid me!"
My interpretation differs a bit but that's for plurk rather than here I think!
Even so, he shakes his head. "Enough of such musings. I, at least, am glad of your company, my lord. Whatever name you choose to bear in this place."

"You might as well use my real name! It will be nice to have my true name heard for a while."

The Steward's sons were raised to be very aware of such protocols, since anything else would court diplomatic disaster.
