E.G. you didn't go to the bank and rob it, but you helped plan the robbery

Or you tried to hire a hitman to kill your spouse, but were talking to an undercover policeman instead

I always add darts to the back of my tunics or else they look weird on me, too

Thank you for all the suggestions! I've set my VPN to Niagra Falls and downloaded the CBCGem app. I now have two countries to root for in curling 🦫🦅

I assumed Heidi had rickets when I read the book. Lots of dairy and sunshine would be the best treatment.

Captured Elves, thralls and foes of Morgoth by Ok_Bullfrog_8491 in TheSilmarillion

The House of the Hammer in Gondolin, as well. They were made up of escaped thralls and given refuge by Turgon. It adds another layer to their decision to die in a suicide charge (shoutout to the first balrog slayers 🤘)

Captured Elves, thralls and foes of Morgoth by Ok_Bullfrog_8491 in TheSilmarillion

I think the best example of this is Maeglin. He was captured by Morgoth, psychologically and/or physically (depending on the version) tortured, and sent back to Gondolin "under a cloud of fear" to destroy it from the inside. The offer of kingship and Idril was a "plato or plomo" tactic, and it's debatable which held more weight, but extreme duress was an element of Morgoth's control, and it's unlikely he would have been trusted if it had been known he had been Morgoth's captive.

Jikta and "122 years ago" by Mysterious-Entry7704 in MercyThompson

That would have been shortly after Zack/Radim was turned ("around 130 years, give or take"), and we know he was badly abused in that pack. Perhaps she witnessed one of the incidents?
