III : Thror's Map

Illustration by J.R.R. Tolkien

The moon was shining in a broad silver crescent. Elrond held up the map and the white light shone through it. "What is this?" he said. "There are moon-letters here, beside the plain runes... they can only be seen when the moon shines behind them..."
