This story is set in the universe that I created for the series The Nameless One, in which Legolas, initially known as Anomen, is fostered by Elrond at Rivendell. In that universe, Estel, Elrohir, and Elladan are the Mirkwood elfs foster brothers. In this adventure, Estel and Legolas escape from Orcs, and Mithrandir gives Legolas something to think about.
