Guild of Venturers become disaffected
Event Type: General
Age: 2nd Age - Pre-Rings
Year: 0858
Description:
But alone among the people the mariners of the Guild of Venturers were not well content. For fifteen years Aldarion had remained in Númenor , and led no expedition abroad; and though there were gallant captains who had been trained by him, without the wealth and authority of the King's son their voyages were fewer and more brief, and went but seldom further than the land of Gil-galad. Moreover timber was become scarce in the shipyards, for Aldarion neglected the forests; and the Venturers besought him to turn again to this work. At their prayer Aldarion did so, and at first Erendis would go about with him in the woods; but she was saddened by the sight of trees felled in their prime, and afterwards hewn and sawn. Soon therefore Aldarion went alone, and they were less in company.
