He particularly expressed regret over the "Ruin of Doriath," feeling he should have made better use of the text without adding foreign elements devised by himself and Guy Gavriel Kay, to the point of including a version more in line with his father's intent in ''Literature/BerenAndLuthien''.

** Tolkien struggled with how to incorporate Galadriel and Celeborn into the events of The Silmarillion. Because both characters were created during the writing of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien needed to insert both of them into the First and Second Ages without heavily rewriting the story. Eventually Tolkien made the decision to re-write Galadriel's backstory only to die a few weeks later.
