Elrond

Ma représentation d'Elrond Peredhel

"Le visage d’Elrond était sans âge, ni jeune, ni vieux, bien que le souvenir de nombreuses choses y eût été gravé, autant gaies que tristes. Ses cheveux, pareils aux ombres du crépuscule, étaient coiffés d’un mince bandeau d’argent ; ses yeux étaient du gris d’un soir clair, et il y avait en eux une lumière semblable à celle des étoiles. Il paraissait vénérable, tel un roi couronné de maints hivers, mais vigoureux néanmoins, tel un guerrier endurci, dans la force de l’âge. Il était Seigneur de Fondcombe et puissant parmi les Elfes et les Hommes."

Gil-galad -  last High King of the Ñoldor in Middle-earth A repost from way back when that I think some might enjoy. I’m slowly going to bring back some of my favorite pieces from before I had my account stolen here. Enjoy~

[nolofinweanweek]

On the assumption that there were close relations between Balar and the Havens of Sirion, thinking about the implications of the leading Gil-gaDad theories for the political and personal dynamics surrounding the sack of Sirion.

Gil-galad Fingonion: Maedhros leads (?) an attack against a settlement allied with (?), possibly under the protection of (?), the friend (?) he "got killed" (ish) in the Nirnaeth. Imagine those ships hastening from Balar being commanded by Fingon's son. (And if he's Gil-galad Russingonion? Well, now those ships are being commanded by Maedhros' son.) And whether or not Maedhros/anyone knows he's Fingon's son, the personal drama is still insane.

Gil-galad Orodrethion: This one I have an existing headcanon about, which is that the Feanorians (esp. their followers, whether or not the sons feel this way is largely irrelevant) don't acknowledge the claim to kingship by an heir of Finarfin's line. Based on their attitude towards the Arafinweans in canon (even if Maedhros and Maglor seem a little better about it), I don't think they'd feel much personal connection to this grandson of Angrod they've probably never met. I think the drama here is far less personal on both sides. In fact, there might be open political animosity. Still very high drama.

As I've posted about before, Gil-galad and Cirdan "hastening to the aid" of the Sirionites was an editorial insertion to the published Silm. I'm fairly convinced that Tolkien would have made the same decision about this as his son (where else would he be? what kind of guy would he be if he didn't try to help?) but there is So Much I want to know about how it changes the story. And of course Gil-galad's parentage has to be folded into the whole issue.

How would the dynamics change with your favourite (or crackiest) Gil-galad parentage theory?

Gil-Galad Revised

Last revised piece, I promise! I was overall really happy with him, but I’ve been bothered by his shield and background since I posted it originally. This was was mostly for my peace of mind. Everything after this will be new, I promise.

Finduilas Ereinion

Happy birthday, @welcomingdisaster! You are one of the most delightful people on this absurd little site, a wonderful friend, and a truly gifted writer and artist. Since drawing Finduilas is how we met, here's that Finduilas redrawn to include his Gil-galad future.

I hope this next year is full of goodness and joy!

Fingon and smol🤏 Gil-Galad

#silmarillion #silm #fingon #gil-galad #tolkien #noldor #nolofinweans

[nolofinweanweek]

The Kings of the Noldor do not cut their hair so long as they reign. But before taking the throne, each king-to-be cuts his hair in mourning for his predecessor.

Elven hair grows very, very slowly.

Finwë dies surrounded by an ocean of raven-dark hair, spilling around him as blood. Gil-galad's ankle-length hair smolders as fine silver ribbons tossed into fire.

Fingolfin, riding to Morgoth's gate with fire in his eyes, tucks his dark waist-length braid into helm.

Turgon's dark braids fall just over his shoulders as he takes up his great-sword for the last time. Fingon's curls, too short to braid, spill out of his helm and fall in his eyes, sticking his bloodied cheeks.

Fëanor had cut his hair unusually short in mourning of his beloved father; had hewed messily at the braids until his scalp was visible through the uneven tufts of hair. It looks much the same when he dies, the bald spots barely covered.

Morgoth cannot cut Maedhros's hair when he captures him, for Maedhros has already done the job himself.

Annotations

Valmar

Primarily a farming community with a small mining contingent. Most of Valmar's exports are related to fruit farming and the farming of large cattle and horses. This is due to the open fields in the north of Aman which allow the space for this complex farming. The mining contingent trades only in gold and precious stones found in the area of Valmar that abuts the Pelori Mountains. 

Alqualondë

An aquatic and fishing community. We obtain fish and shellfish from this city. The fibers made from aquatic and semi-aquatic plants allow the Teleri to make nets, and baskets which are water-tight. The nets Tirion imports from here are strong. Alqualondë utilizes the same technique to make rope. For use in sealing, Tirion purchases pitch which is extremely quick drying. Tirion imports glass (made from sand), salt (for food and food storage), and feathers for quills. 

Wood of Oromë

The primary exports of this region are wood and venison. We process the wood in Tirion to make paper. A smaller export of this region is berries, although these are seasonal and not as common. 

Formenos

Like Valmar, Formenos is a farming community with a small mining contingent. Here, the fields are dedicated to grains and vegetable farming. Mountain goats are farmed in the Pelori region and their milk is used for cheeses. Here, the mining contingent is primarily focused on precious metals and stone. 

Notes from the Compiler: It is extremely interesting to see what the different exports of these regions are. Valmar being known for gold is in accordance with my knowledge. My foster fathers used to tell me about how the roofs of the houses of Valmar were all made of burnished gold.

Fëanor Threatens Fingolfin

I'm doing a readthrough of The Silmarillion, and a journaling project alongside it - and today's chapter was 'Of The Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor!'

I did this illustration for it, which I'm really proud of (despite traditional art not being my main medium), so I thought I'd share! Maybe when I'm done with the whole thing I'll do a journal tour.

Bonus: Nerdanel from the previous page
