Finrod & the Edain
Commissioned from @bluebeardcrypt
Absolutely in love with this depiction of Finrod and Bëor! They stand on each side of the “gulf that divides [the] kindreds,” each reaching out of his own to meet in Light. Finrod standing amidst the stars of the Eldar, Bëor standing before the rising sun, “Vása, the Heart of Fire, that awakens and consumes; for the Sun was set as a sign for the awakening of Men and the waning of the Elves.”
I’m still in awe of how well @bluebeardcrypt rendered this from my rambling description 😂 Absolutely gorgeous.
(Quotes from the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth and The Silmarillion, respectively.)

A Conversation between a dwarf, an elf and a man
Dwarf: Well how are we supposed to tell your genders apart? None of you have beards!
Elf: How do you expect us to be able to tell your genders apart? All of you have beards!
Man: None of us can find any way of distinguishing between any of your genders!
Dwarf *gesturing to their beard* and Elf *gesturing to their hair*: The braid work you moron!

Faramir has definitely read all of, if not the Quenta Silmarillion that we know (that version is Bilbo’s translation), certainly the equivalent histories and myths preserved in Minas Tirith’s greeat library. He’s read it in modern Westron, Númenorean Adúnaic, and at least one Elvish language. He’s not quite a match for Aragon at spontaneous recitation of memorized poetry, but he’s no slouch either.
Boromir attended all the same history lessons as Faramir, to a point, and he spent many happy afternoons—in younger, more peaceful days—doing strength-training exercises, fletching arrows, etc. while Faramir excitedly monologued at him about the minutia of different translations of the Lay of Leithien. However, it’s just not his thing, so by the time he rolls up to Rivendell, he knows, like:
If an elf glows, that means they’re really old
Lord Elrond Half-Elven is some sort of cousin to the ancient kings of Númenor (though the first one? he’s pretty sure?)
One time the Enemy got his ass whooped by an elvish princess and a dog, and their friend died heroically while killing a massive werewolf with his bare hands and teeth. When Faramir convinced him to play-act out the story, Boromir always dibsed bring the werewolf killer immediately. (Faramir always played Beren, and when she was there, they recruited cousin Lothíriel to be Lúthien.)

“But when Tuor had lived thus in solitude as an outlaw for four years, Ulmo set it in his heart to depart from the land of his fathers, for he had chosen Tuor as the instrument of his designs […] ”

Haleth of the Haladin 🏹
Haleth was a daughter of Haldad, leader of the Haladin. After her father and twin brother Haldar were slain in an Orc raid, she became chieftain of the Haladin.
The House of Haleth was the second of the three Houses of Edain. The men of this House were descendants of Haldad, but the house was named after Haldad’s daughter Haleth, who led people from East Beleriand to Brethil. They were a reclusive folk, separate from the other Edain and spoke a different language.

Pov: You’re relaxing at the stream when you suddenly notice an Elf prince lounging in the shadows, gazing back at you ;)
Beren and Lúthion from my genderbend AU! It’s been a long while since I drew for this AU, but I got in the mood recently, so here it is! It was also an excuse to practice with sitting poses XDD I imagine this is when they’re still getting to know each other; Lúthion sometimes appears when Beren least expects it, and Beren usually lets him make the first move, since Lúthion still isn’t sure what to make of this adan!
I also wanted to give Lúthion more of a mysterious fae vibe, so I put him in the shadows. Meanwhile, Beren appears with the sun, which is a recurring (and favourite) theme of mine when drawing the Edain, it seems! :DDD

is it weird to get existential dread when you think on how short our lives must seem to elves?

Doriath is problematic
Am I the only person to think that there's something very wrong with how the Doriathrim sit safe behind their girdle while the rest of us is exposed to enemy attacks?
🍂 0r0ph3r following
Are we then supposed to remove the girdle in the name of "solidarity"??
I can't even begin to list everything that's bonkers with your premise.

The way some of the people here talk about the secondborn is sick, to be honest. They're Eruhini, they're not animals, they're not worthless, they're not usurpers, they're not to be called slurs, and I don't care what Fëanor said or didn't say, I thought it was well accepted those are the lies of our common enemy!
#and if I hear one more person say mortal deaths in the war don't matter because they didn't have much to live anyway I will personally strangle them #tw anti-edain sentiment

Reminder: if you wouldn't say "engwa", don't say "nogoth" either, both are slurs.
🍏say-ros
But I would say "engwa" xd
and I know some people use one and not the other cause they think the naugrim are worse even than the engwar; I obviously don't, both of you are so low down one can't get lower - but I don't argue with them.

To fit the Meet & Greet challenge, I picked some famous "meetings" out of the Silmarillion to depict. These were for the creator and comment stamps
In order of largest to smallest: 
Thingol and Melian meeting in Nan Elmoth Finrod finding the Beorians and playing to them as they slept Oromë finding the awakened Elves at Cuivienen Beren seeing Luthien dancing in Doriath

i think there’s something in tuor being the effectively the opposite of húrin. favored by a god vs. hated and condemned by a god…divinely called to action vs. divinely removed from it…fathered a notably fair-haired child of prophecy vs. a notably dark-haired child under a curse…escaped over the sea and out of history in an act of hope vs. consumed by the sea and by history in an act of despair..

Doing Silmarillion Daily has made me notice more about the Edain, and wow, some of the lesser-noticed characters had incredibly hard lives once you put the pieces together.
Take Galdor and Hareth, the father and mother of Húrin and Huor. They get married in Brethil (Hareth’s home), in a big double wedding (Galdor’s older sister and Hareth’s older brother also marry each other), at an incredibly young age - they’re nineteen and sixteen respectively, though they don’t have kids until they’re in their twenties. Hareth has to move to Hithlum, away from all of her family, while she’s still a teenager. When her kids are still fairly young, she has to send them off to Brethil to be fostered by their uncle according to Haladin custom, so she’s separated from her kids as well as parents and other relatives.
Then, while the boys are in Brethil, the Battle of Sudden Flame happens. The times of relative safety are over. Galdor’s father and his younger brother are both killed. Only a couple years later, they learn that their sons (teenagers, 16 and 13) fought in a battle against orcs and are missing, presumed dead.
A year later their sons return under mysterious circumstances and will say nothing about where they’ve been.
And only three years after that, Galdor is killed in defence of Eithel Sirion, the same place his father and brother died defending, and his son Húrin - only 21 years old - leads the counterattack.
Hareth has now lost her husband, father-in-law, brother-in-law, and spent a year thinking her kids were dead or worse, in addition to having been separated from all the rest of her family since her mid-teens - and her son, barely out of his teens, is now fighting in the same war that took everyone else from her and is called the head of the House of Hador.
And then, nine years later when she’s 51 years old, her father Halmir dies in Brethil, and a year after that comes the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the occupation of Hithlum, and one of her sons is missing-presumed-dead for the second time in her life and her other son is dead. And after that all the tragedies of Húrin’s family.
Just…ouch that is a lot!
