| Everyone avoided the tower. It was believed to have saved more sailors than swimming. Calmindon welcomed them home: radiant, but forbidden – home to its keepers, who mustn't be troubled. Uruzir had joined the Guild, world-restless, but seeing Azruphel, the keeper's daughter, he was scuttled. “Will you wait for me?” he asked. “As every other,” she answered, placidly. But she looked him closely. Then: “Tell me a story – one to keep me through your ventures, for sailors never stay.” So he did – two years and ten stories later, she gave him one word worth all of his: yes. |
Calmindon is the lighthouse set on Tol Uinen, and which guided the mariners of the Venturer's Guild home to Númenor. |
