"Now ye are Mine
and must do My will," he said. "I do not trouble that
some of you die and go to appease the hunger of the Dark; for
otherwise there would soon be too many of you, crawling like lice
on the Earth. But if ye do not do My will, ye will feel My anger,
and ye will die sooner, for I will slay you."

The Chronicles of
Second Darkness
What if Mordor had won the War
of the Rings and the Ring had been found and returned to Sauron?
This is an alternative universe (AU) creative writing venture
based on J.R.R. Tolkien's works.
The Second Darkness writing
project ended in June of 2005. The efforts of Angmar and Elfhild
are now directed to
The
Circles and the
Library of Minas Morgul, a center for Black Speech,
Nazgûl information, and links to Nazgûl-centered fanfiction. Enjoy reading the Second Darkness
archive. If you are a new reader, be sure to read the
Orgins
of Second Darkness first.
Violence and explicit scenes
in some chapters.
For mature readers only.
Since November 14, 2004, The Circles have been
thrilling, terrifying and titilating hundreds of readers. If Second Darkness
whetted your appetite for the Dark, you will enjoy this grim and gothic tale set
within an alternate version of Tolkien's universe.
Link upon link, binding band
upon band, The Circles go on. A tale of darkness, sorcery and
the world of the undead.
