Aldarion builds Hirilondë
Event Type: General
Age: 2nd Age - Pre-Rings
Years: 0874 ~ 0877
Description:
When Aldarion had been five years ashore he began to busy again with his Mastership of Forests [...] ere long he turned again from forestry to the building of ships, and a vision came to him of a mighty vessel like a castle with tall masts and great sails like clouds, bearing men and stores enough for a town. Then in the yards of Rómenna the saws and hammers were busy, while among many lesser craft a great ribbed hull took shape; at which men wondered. Turuphanto, the Wooden Whale, they called it, but that was not its name.
