Aiglos is tucked away in Rivendell with the shards of Narsil, and until she sailed west with Celebrían, Ianneth (Gil-galad's mother) was responsible for keeping both of them sharp and and working order.

I think this came out rather well considering I haven't touched drawing charcoal since 2019. I'm especially proud of how the flag and skirt came out, and the hair isn't half bad either. It's also not my strong suit: I was taught to do portraits in charcoal and this definitely isn't that. And naturally I only spent about 2 hours on it. I have a strict rule against spending longer on a charcoal piece than it takes for my lips to go numb. (I chew on my lips while doing charcoal and can't seem to be able to stop.)

As for the subject material... as a child I was told that if the War of the Ring had been lost, Arwen would have traveled to the Grey Havens and gone into the West, and that bugged me. I think the main reason was because I considered (and still do consider, to be honest) a betrothal to be an equally serious and binding commitment as the actual marriage. (Which is why I don't watch many romcoms; it bothers me inordinately that the leading lady usually ends up breaking off a betrothal because she fell for some kind of dashing rogue she's known for like 3 days.) So my interpretation of the text is that Arwen chose her fate when she accepted Aragorn's proposal (or before) and not when she actually married him -- meaning she had already chosen not to go into the West by the time the events of the book rolled around, regardless of the outcome of the war. Regardless of the actual intended weight of the betrothal within the text, Tolkien certainly didn't write Arwen's appearance in Return of the King to suggest that it was a huge turning point for her or she was making some kind of Big Choice; it was just the realization of a future hoped for. I think this contributed greatly to my interest in Bad LotR AUs.

This image doesn't belong to any specific AU, it's just a concept of Arwen approaching Mordor or possibly Barad-dur alone, carrying the banner she made Aragorn and Aiglos -- representing her two heritages and the strength of Elves and Men that she intends to challenge Sauron with. Probably Aragorn is being held prisoner and she's after rescuing him for ~*~ thematic parallels ~*~. And Sauron is not going out to meet her. Learned that lesson already.

#lotr #if anyones wondering what part if any of this is inspired by lotro #the dress is loosely inspired by the festive azure dress that comes in one of the annual gift boxes #and the boots are inspired by a pair i found in the forges of khazad dum last night #dont remember what they were but they dropped from the final boss chest and were heavy armour #loosely inspired; overall piece is not very detailed #my pencil sharpener just didnt want to sharpen my charcoal pencils so i was limited in the amount of detail i could work in there #oh yeah also the music that made my brain hold me at gunpoint to draw this was godhunter by aviators #probably started running through saurons head when he heard she was coming

LotR reread - book 1, chapter 8 - Fog on the Barrow-downs

Oh, the Barrow Downs are chilling, or would be so much more if I did not know the story well.

The Barrow-wights incantation is seriously horrible, and I won't get into a deeper analysis of it, however the contrast with Bombadil's song is very marked. Both refer to the end of the world in some wise (Lost and forgotten be, darker than the darkness/ Where gates stand for ever shut till the world is mended in Bombadil's song), but there never was any version of the end of Arda that might end with the dark lord's victory, even if very temporarily he might seem to have power again. The Barrow-wights incantation notably stops at that, and makes no mention of the Door of Night.

Yes, we'll be getting into Silmarillion territory often from now on and I will talk about it, sorry.

Hmm... the sword Frodo uses splinters upon defeating the Wight, we know how weak most swords are against the Nazgul... Is it just ghosts and undead that work like that or everything evil?

If so, the craftsmanship of Aiglos (Gil Galad's spear) and Ringil (Fingolfin's sword - seven blows against morgoth!) must have been exquisite.

The ponies return - and here we arrive at a certain piece of criticism of LotR I've met with - that there are more named horses than women. I don't really agree with this being so terrible here; there are just less women overall, and those who exist are mostly named, and more important than the horses. The Silm is different, but then the Silm only ever names two horses. I won't force a male author to write women; some who have tried making female MCs have evidently failed... It's enough that the books are pleasant to read for me, as a woman.

"Few now remember them, yet still some go wandering, sons of forgotten kings walking in loneliness"

"As he spoke they had a vision as it were if a great expanse of years behind them, as a vast shadowy plain over which there strode shapes of Men, tall and grim with bright swords, and last came one with a star on his brow."... I suppose the last is meant to signify Aragorn with the Elendilmir, but I like to think about the "vast expanse of years" going back, not forward, and of the one "with a star on his brow" being Eärendil...

Today I had to share our password with my manager for an account I set up on a third party website, and his response was "... Are you a Tolkien fan?"

Sir, my home wifi is named Aiglos, my personal laptop is Maitimo, and my cellphone, Ezellohar. Could be, could be...

[ebaeschnbliah]

I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host. 

I was at the Battle of Dagorlad before the Black Gate of Mordor, where we had the mastery: for the Spear of Gil-galad and the Sword of Elendil, Aiglos and Narsil, none could withstand. I beheld the last combat on the slopes of Orodruin, where Gil-galad died, and Elendil fell, and Narsil broke beneath him; but Sauron himself was overthrown, and Isildur cut the Ring from his hand with the hilt-shard of his father's sword, and took it for his own.'

At this the stranger, Boromir, broke in. `So that is what became of the Ring!' he cried. `If ever such a tale was told in the South, it has long been forgotten. I have heard of the Great Ring of him that we do not name; but we believed that it perished from the world in the ruin of his first realm. Isildur took it! That is tidings indeed.'

`Alas! yes,' said Elrond. `Isildur took it, as should not have been. It should have been cast then into Orodruin's fire nigh at hand where it was made. But few marked what Isildur did. He alone stood by his father in that last mortal contest; and by Gil-galad only Círdan stood, and I. But Isildur would not listen to our counsel.

"This I will have as weregild for my father, and my brother," he said; and therefore whether we would or no, he took it to treasure it. But soon he was betrayed by it to his death; and so it is named in the North Isildur's Bane. Yet death maybe was better than what else might have befallen him.’

[finmoryo]

Heyy! I absolutely love your fanfics and your Maeglin becoming Gil-Galad is a personal favorite! I recently saw your post on song recs based on lotr and it feels like I've found a gold mine. All of them are BANGERS!! I was wondering if you have anymore recs, or more specifically any songs that remind you of certain charachters from Tolkien's works?

Of course I'll share more! Thanks for liking my fic as well. I really want to write more, but I'm starting my spring semester of college and I'm feel like I'm sort of at a dead end. I still think about that fic concept every night though, so I wouldn't rule out another update sometime.

Ships by Cirkeln. Used to be on spotify, but no longer is. The other songs on this album are good too.

Ballad of Aiglos by The Lonely Mountain Band. I listen to this very often. The prettiest one in this list. It's from the perspective of Gil-galad's spear.

The Oath of Fëanor by Númenor. More metal.

Shadows by Sabaton. I'm a history nerd and I love Sabaton. This one is about the nazgûl.

Moria by Bloodbound. I'm not sure it's entirely LotR related based on the lyrics, but it is a really good song.

Tar-Calion and Caradhras by Summoning. I don't know how to describe these two.

Lord of the Rings by Blind Guardian. Yet another amazing Blind Guardian song based on Tolkien's stories but this time not in Nightfall in Middle earth.

The Tides of War by Blind Guardian. Probably my favorite Blind Guardian song. It was meant to be in NiMe but I guess it was dropped and it's not on spotify. There's another one also dropped called Doom, but make sure you listen to the NiMe version and not the other one.

Túrin Son of Húrin by Emyn Muil. I like this one, though I have heard someone called Emyn Muil a cheap copy of Summoning and I would have to agree. The album is good but could be better. That being said, I do like the last song on it, Hail to the Black Sword. Just don't listen to the end of if you'd rather not hear Túrin impale himself on his sword.

The Longbottom Leaf by The Fellowship. An instrumental, a very good one.

Children's Song from Dale by Broceliande. I'd consider this folk song style.

I have a few character playlists on spotify, which you can find on my pinned post. Here's a few songs that remind me of characters though. I think I'm going to make a Galadriel playlist soon.

Mordred's Song by Blind Guardian is my #1 song for Maeglin.

Broken Crown by Mumford & Sons and The Kinslayer by Nightwish for Maedhros.

Stargazers and Shoemaker by Nightwish for Elrond.

For Fëanor, Father by Sabaton. It's actually about Fritz Haber, but there are definitely similarities. I've had a post about this sitting in drafts for ages actually.

Aeglos (spear) Also known as: Aiglos Meaning: Snow-point, icicle.

The weapon of Ereinion Gil-Galad, last High King of the Noldor, which the enemies feared and recognized, even in the distance, by it's ice-shining blade.

Aeglos (plant) Meaning: Snow-Thorn (Sindarin).

In the hill of Amon Rûdh, in Beleriand, there grew a sweet-smelling shrub of white flowers, tall enough to gloom the paths.

Aeglos (lanza) También conocido como: Aiglos. Significado: Punto de nieve, carámbano.

El arma de Ereinion Gil-Galad, último alto rey de los Noldor, que los enemigos temían y reconocían, incluso a lo lejos, por su hoja que brillaba como hielo.

Aeglos (planta) Significado: Espina de nieve (Sindarin).

En la colina de Amon Rûdh, en Beleriand, crecía un arbusto de flores blancas de olor dulce, lo suficientemente alto como para oscurecer los senderos.

Ereinion Gil-galad, last High King of the Noldo, stood somewhere in a gloomy forest in Middle-earth, clad in nothing but a bath towel.

Along with his spear, Aiglos. Which he always carried with him.  For some unknown reason, even when sunbathing.

Title: Why King Gil-galad No Longer Goes Sea-Hunting, or, Reasons to Teach Kings Not to Go Anywhere Alone on Unfamiliar Ships

One warm winter, the king did wander ‘neath wild walnut trees, whole yet broken, waiting in wandreth for want of family unfound and free space. When his wain reached the water, the walm surged within hunting desires, and soon set sail. He did wield Aiglos, stinging like a wasp at a walrus. It did waggle as attacked, and wallop astern. It did wane, and split through the wake; the seaspray made Ereinion’s waistcoat wet. Down he looked, wruxled. Wrapped round like a warlock at his ankles were wampum snakes. To the nearest wick he went, and ne’er went sea-hunting again.
