(Arahad has actually been to Rivendell, for two days and one night. It was shortly before he joined up with the fellowship of the ring.)

"I can vouch for Edacnik. He has some... anger issues, but I feel that there is good in him still, if only a minuscule amount." Said Arahad. "Nonetheless, he shall not enter Imladris." Said Elladan.

-Just outside of the entrance of Mt. Gundabad-

Golmag crawled through the thick snow. He hadn't known how he had survived, just that he did. Then he had found, around his neck, an amulet. It was beautiful. It was on a gold chain, but that wasn't the most extraordinary part. On the chain was a gem, like a great ruby that had been filled with shadow and flame. He had realized that, since Morgoth had come within minutes of being released from the void due to Golmag's actions, the Dark Lord had, in the moments before he was sucked back into the void, given him this powerful artifact, as a reward for his nearly successful plot. Still, the wounds did leave him weakened, though the gem had healed them. He would soon recover though. He had a suspicion that the stone had more power than it had already displayed. At last, he felt he had the strength to walk. He rose to his feet, and relished the thought of how powerful he now was. He suddenly realized that his skin had become pitch black, with what almost looked like cracks with red fire in them on it.

-Back at Rivendell-

"What is it, Galad?" Asked Arahad. "I don't know. It's just, I feel a disturbance, like I have not felt since... Sauron was still alive." Said Galad. "But... that's impossible! Sauron was the ring and the ring was Sauron! When it was destroyed, so was he!" Said Arahad. "I said not that it was Sauron, only that it felt like him." Said Galad.

(Basically, I am setting up Golmag to be the main villain of the story. That amulet, imbued with even the tiny drop of Morgoth's power, makes him at least as powerful as Sauron, maybe even stronger than Sauron. Please don't kick me out, I'm just getting a new villain in place.)
