Galadriel wearing the Elessar

“For Galadriel Celebrimbor made the greatest of his works (save the Three Rings only) ... Wielding the Elessar all things grew fair about Galadriel, until the coming of the Shadow to the Forest.”  (Unfinished Tales)

Painted by Celebrimbor in universe

After years of not being able to read a book due to trauma I got so far in therapy that I am reading bits of the Return of the king.

I must say nothing is as epic as Aragorn coming to the battle with his king flag and the star on his head. 😍😍😍😍

Here's a thought: Wil left the Blue Elfstones to Mareth, right? And he used to abuse them to see Amberle, unable to let go, to the point he was hurting himself. Angst time: Mareth can't resist trying to use the Stones to see Allanon (and Wil) in her dreams, and becomes addicted to it. She tells herself she's just using them to help her actually save him, that his vision could offer help. Just one more time. It can't hurt. But it leaves her with burns and drains her energy, not actually helping her move on. She just wants to see her dad one more time...

'Now it is time to drink the cup of farewell.'

`Drink, Lord of the Galadhrim! And let not your heart be sad though night must follow noon, and already our evening draweth nigh.'

Then she brought the cup to each of the Company, and bade them drink and farewell. But when they had drunk she commanded them to sit again on the grass, and chairs were set for her and for Celeborn. Her maidens stood silent about her, and a while she looked upon her guests. At last she spoke again.

'We have drunk the cup of parting,' she said, `and the shadows fall between us. But before you go, I have brought in my ship gifts which the Lord and Lady of the Galadhrim now offer you in memory of Lothlórien.' Then she called to each in turn.

`Here is the gift of Celeborn and Galadriel to the leader of your Company,' she said to Aragorn, and she gave him a sheath that had been made to fit his sword. It was overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves wrought of silver and gold, and on it were set in elven runes formed of many gems the name Andúril and the lineage of the sword.

`The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat,' she said. `But is there aught else that you desire of me at our parting? For darkness will flow between us, and it may be that we shall not meet again, unless it be far hence upon a road that has no returning.'

And Aragorn answered: 'Lady, you know all my desire, and long held in keeping the only treasure that I seek. Yet it is not yours to give me, even if you would; and only through darkness shall I come to it.'

`Yet maybe this will lighten your heart,' said Galadriel; `for it was left in my care to be given to you, should you pass through this land.' Then she lifted from her lap a great stone of a clear green, set in a silver brooch that was wrought in the likeness of an eagle with outspread wings; and as she held it up the gem flashed like the sun shining through the leaves of spring. `This stone I gave to Celebrían my daughter, and she to hers; and now it comes to you as a token of hope. In this hour take the name that was foretold for you, Elessar, the Elfstone of the house of Elendil! '

Then Aragorn took the stone and pinned the brooch upon his breast, and those who saw him wondered; for they had not marked before how tall and kingly he stood, and it seemed to them that many years of toil had fallen from his shoulders. `For the gifts that you have given me I thank you,' he said, 'O Lady of Lórien of whom were sprung Celebrían and Arwen Evenstar. What praise could I say more? '

The Lady bowed her head.

The gifts for:  

Boromir, Legolas, Merry, Pippin, Sam: ‘I have brought in my ship gifts’

Gimli: `And what gift would a Dwarf ask of the Elves?'  

Frodo: ‘In this phial is caught the light of Eärendil's star.’

We'll meet a niche with a mega popular culture reference, but you cannot tell me not a single one of those Stranger Things kids didn't read the OG Shannara triology.

#like don't tell me not a *single* one of the dnd obsessed didnt read shannara #rhe fact that shannara is so often erased from fantasy pop culture when it was a *huge* thing at the time #for those circles - tragic #anyway eddie munson read sword elfstones and wishsong #the kid's a mega nerd why wouldnt he have read them if he managed through lotr? #this is like an actual thing not shoving it on the character cause *i* like it #jibber jabber blabber bluff

I have three more designs to go with Boromir's "The Captain's Kit" design! Behold:

The King's Kit

Aragorn's design features Anduril, the Evenstar jewel, the Elessar elfstone (just to pull the books in), the ring of Barahir, the crown of Gondor, and his ranger's gloves and pipe, surrounded by athelas flowers (props to @erynalasse for suggesting athelas!). I know his crown isn't really part of his "kit," but like I said in my previous post, he's basically just Dirty Wild Man with Boromir's Vambraces until he gets Anduril.

The Marshal's Kit

Eomer's design features his helmet, shoulder guard, breastplate, decorative buckle, and sword, surrounded by simbelmyne flowers. Side note: Eomer's armor is THE prettiest of anybody's by far, it's sooooo gorgeous.

The Prince's Kit

Legolas' design features his bone-handled knives, soft boots, bow and quiver, and a seagull feather, surrounded by forest leaves. I kept wanting to add symbolism that I've developed over the years in fic (I always associate Legolas with mountain laurel leaves and flowers, as a woodland evergreen re: "greenleaf," and I often give him antler-bone jewelry and a seal ring) but I made myself stick to book/movie imagery.

You can get these, and Boromir's design, on t-shirts, journals, pillows, transparent stickers, and as prints. If you'd like to see them on other merch, just let me know. Also let me know if there are issues with various items; I'm still not entirely sure how Redbubble handles it's clothing categories, so if you want it on a specific type of shirt and it's not showing up, I'll try to fix it.

Okay listen I went to the natural history museum to find some beryl (Aragorn’s elfstone). Shut up it was worth it. This beauty is bigger than my fist btw. It is like the size of a large American artisanal burger that you have to eat with a fork and knife. And it DOES look like frothed up ocean water. You can see light coming through it at just the top. 10/10 great rock*
