It's been seventeen years since the fall of Gondor and the murder of the king; seventeen years since the Black Tree rose up and began to infect the hearts of the people.

All the while I have sat in darkness in depths of Carn Dûm, kept alive so that I can watch it all. No matter how much I long for death, it eludes me...or perhaps it cannot find me here in this hell.

I am no longer chained; I gave up fighting a long time ago. I write this so you can understand why I did what I did in the hopes that it may be undone; that you can find a way to restore things.

There are many things that you will not understand, and much more that I do not understand, but I shall do what I can.

I am a man outside of my time; before my time really, and this is not the first world I have visited. This world, though, is different. It won't make sense, but I had read the story long before Frodo began his journey to destroy the Ring. That is how I knew so much about the Fellowship, Boromir, and all of the other events; I knew how it all ended, so I thought to prepare everyone for what was coming. I thought...I thought I could rewrite history.

I was wrong.

The timeline and the people are all wrong! 

Curse my pride!

Because of me, Arda will fall under the Shadow, and here I shall remain, forgotten, and alone. Perhaps that is for the best. I've done enough damage.

But you already know that, don't you dear reader. Oh, don't be so surprised, I know you're still there. At least I hope you are, for without you, all hope will be lost.

Before my foresight was taken from me, I saw moments where you would touch our world, bringing change; whether it was for good or ill I do not know, nor do I know when these changes are to happen.

Now I've come to it at last. My greatest secret. Never before have I shared this with anyone, but seeing you shall likely be the only ones to read this, I think it is safe to do so.

The name Údar comes from my world. Your world.

It has only a single meaning that I found humorous when I first adopted the name upon coming here. Perhaps in my arrogance, I thought it gave me permission to do what I did.

But I delay. And I must not for there is much to tell you before the end. You must know the truth.

Údar is an Irish word.

It means Author.

I cannot begin to tell you how long I've waited to post this lol But I figured that close to Christmas would be the perfect time to do so.
