Where the Passion Flower Grows

by Cinaed (@cinaed)

The people of Haleth are used to the dangers of Brethil. When Turambar stumbles upon a plant called love's fever, Brandir must prove to him that it's a poison with a pleasant cure.

Having reread CoH for about the tenth time, I have finally fallen in love with Hunthor. He stands up to Dorlas and defends Brandir. He saves Túrin, without which Túrin wouldn't have been able to kill Glaurung. Then he dies and the only one who knows of his bravery is Túrin, who doesn't live long enough to tell anyone! Does his wife ever find out how he died?

[maironsbigboobs]

16, 18 and 20 for the silm ask :)

Your opinion of Eru Ilúvatar?

You know what he loves the drama I respect that. Otherwise I guess I don't think about him at all lol

Favourite crack pairing/concept/headcanon?

Here's how Beleg Andróg and Mîm being the og Three Hunters can still win....

Funniest moment in the Silm?

Pretty sure it's in the Silm but Hunthor's death via rock. So fucking random lmao

if we include implied mortality (orange), we have our totals of:

total named: 129

dead, named: 43 not dead, named: 86

total unnamed: 273

probably dead, unnamed: 230 not dead, unnamed: 43

obviously the eventual mortality of the gazillion numenoreans does impact these numbers quite a bit, but it still does stand that more of the unnamed mothers/wives are dead than the named ones (84% vs 33%)

---

other notes:

orange = implied eventual death due to mortality at some point up to the end of the TA

[gender uncertain], [girlfriend], and [fiancee] characters were counted as wives

[existence uncertain] and [existence disputed] characters were included

[mortality uncertain] characters were counted as not dead

actually not only is Legolas’s mother still alive, post-quest she was like ‘Aragorn I’m your mum now’ and Aragorn was like ‘that’s kind of you but no need’ and she was like ‘NO. I AM YOUR MUM NOW.’

& Legolas was solemnly like ‘this means we are brothers now. I take my brotherly responsibilities very seriously. Family game night is on Tuesdays.’

that’s what happened.

three houses of the edain ➴ house of haleth ➴ headcanon disclaimer

          Hiril was the daughter of Halmir, and the sister of Haldir, Hundar, and Hareth. Alone of her siblings, she married within her House, wedding the Haladin hunter Enthor. Together they had one daughter, Meleth, who herself wed the warrior Agathor and bore him two sons, Hunthor and Manthor. Both Enthor and Agathor were slain in the Nírnaeth Arnœdiad, leaving Meleth to raise her children on her own.           When Glaurung came to Brethil, the great warrior known as Turambar asked for volunteers to accompany him on a quest to slay the dragon. At first only Dorlas stepped forth, and seeing the others hold back, he scorned them and demanded to know if none would take the place of the diminished Chieftain Brandir the Lame so that the House of Haleth would not be put to shame. It was Hunthor who rebuked Dorlas for his cruelty and volunteered in Brandir’s stead, following Turambar into danger.           Yet despite his harsh words, Dorlas soon proved cowardly and fled from the battle, leaving Hunthor and Turambar alone. They were nearing the belly of the beast when the heat and stench of the dragon caused Turambar to slip and nearly fall into the River Teiglin, but Hunthor seized him and saved his life. Turambar proclaimed him to be of great heart, but in that very moment a stone fell from the cliffside and struck Hunthor’s head, and he fell and was lost in the waters below. Hunthor’s death left his wife Himmeth a widow, and though his younger brother Manthor resolved to care for her, there was never love between them as there had been with her and Hunthor.           As both Brandir and Turambar perished on the day the dragon came, the leadership of the Haladin was now uncertain. An election was held between the two remaining heirs of Halmir: Manthor and Hardang, the grandson of Hundar. Though Manthor was the more popular choice, his claim was weaker as he was descended from the youngest of Halmir’s children who was also a woman, and thus Hardang rose to the Chieftainship he had long desired. Not wishing to anger those of his folk who would have preferred Manthor as a leader, Hardang promoted him to Captain of the Guards at the Crossings of Teiglin, a move which appeased Manthor for the time being.           Two years into Hardang’s rule, Manthor and his subordinates discovered Húrin Thalion at the Haudh-en-Elleth. Though there was some debate between them as to what they should do with the old man, Manthor woke him and offered him rest and food. When Húrin found he could not keep his food down, he agreed to go with the party to see the Chieftain.           Hardang was ill-pleased to see Húrin, and did not rise to greet him nor to offer him a chair, forcing the old man to sit on the ground. Only after Manthor rebuked him did Hardang grudgingly offer Húrin food and rest, and his weak courtesy so offended Húrin that he threw a stool at Hardang, cutting his head. Avranc, one of Hardang’s lackeys and the son of Dorlas, arrested and imprisoned him and advocated for his execution.           At this Manthor protested, having sympathy for Húrin, and quit Hardang’s service to summon the People of Haleth to a Folkmoot. That night he offered his aid to Húrin, winning his friendship, and discovered that Húrin’s food had been poisoned. The following morning, Húrin was put on trial for his assault of the Chieftain, but with Manthor’s support and counsel he won the Haladin over to his side.            Yet instead of justice being served, a riot broke out between the followers of Hardang and the followers of Manthor, culminating in the burning of the Hall of Chieftains, in which Hardang perished. Amid the chaos, Avranc shot twice at Manthor and missed both times. Manthor and Húrin escaped the ruins of Obel Halad, but before they could flee entirely Avranc fired an arrow a third time, killing Manthor. Thus ended the last of the Chieftains of the Haladin, and the ruin of the House of Haleth was completed.

okay saeros had a stupid death but a big F for hunthor man 

Honestly yeah, lamest death right here.  At least Saeros's was funny.  RIP Hunthor.

RIP Hunthor

it's like tolkien couldn't think of another way to kill him or something

"I mean Turin could accidentally stab him but we've already done that so many times.  We've only had one guy die by getting hit in the head with a rock so far, though, I guess we could do that one again.....?"

yeah that won't be lame at all, tolkien

great heart, happy was the choice that took you for a helper! 

[alicebeckstrom]

But ere the middle-night the dragon roused, and with a great noise and blast cast his forward part across the chasm, and began to draw his bulk after. Turambar and Hunthor were well-nigh overcome by the heat and the stench, as they sought in haste for a way up to come at Glaurung; and Hunthor was slain by a great stone that was dislodged from on high by the passage of the dragon, and smote him on the head and cast him into the river. So he ended, of the house of Haleth not the least valiant.  ~ The Silmarillion, Chapter 21 (Hunthor by EriolSarothron, deviantART)

 look what you made túrin do 

part 2 / part 1

[bretwalda-lamnguin]

Imagine living in Brethil during the events of the Children of Húrin and the Wanderings of Húrin. Some day a random bloke turns up with a spooky sword and a mysterious past, not too weird but still not everyday. Then he finds a weird girl in the forest with no memories of her past. Naturally the two grow close and eventually marry. Brethil's own semi-tamed cryptid couple. The orcs start coming thick and fast and Turambar helps repel them, but then a dragon decides "fuck this village in particular" and comes to kill everyone. Turambar basically coups Brandir the old chieftain almost by accident. Turambar kills the dragon, but it turns out Níniel was also Nienor, and Turambar was also Túrin. They were brother and sister! Turambar kills Brandir and then himself. Dorlas is later found mysteriously dead with Brandir's sword beside him. Hunthor and Nienor's bodies are never recovered.

Just when everything seems to be settling down, their father Húrin turns up who was supposed to be dead or imprisoned in hell. He attacks the new chieftain, is put on trial and then causes a civil war before mysteriously disappearing again.

How would you even deal with that? Just existing on the edge of the grand Hadorian drama that suddenly comes barreling through your life and just when you think it's done it returns to burn your house down.

3, Haleth, Brandir, Beleg, Hunthor, and Dorlas

XD yay!In a car chase with:

Now, are they chasing me, am I chasing them, or am I in the car with them? The latter is most likely, so:

1. Probably Beleg? He’s pretty level-headed and I feel like he’s got the whole Elvish stealth/intuition thing going on, plus if we get caught he’s a good fighter.

2. Hunthor. Also pretty solid and level-headed, probably handy with a sword if we get caught (or… do the catching?), plus I like him a lot.

3. Haleth. I feel like her evasive driving is… unnecessarily aggressive. If she doesn’t launch us into fiery, smashed oblivion we’ll definitely get away, though.

4. I feel like Brandir would be too worried about hurting civilians to… well, to get car chasey. And I would be no help, because A.) I can barely drive, B.) driving scares the hell out of me under the best of circumstances, and C.) I’d be too busy staring at him and nodding intensely in response to everything he said to, like, notice we were in a car chase. (Not that ‘reluctance to cause collateral damage’ is a BAD trait, for the record. And I would very much enjoy escaping from corrupt police custody with him.)

5. Dorlas. I’m sure Dorlas would be excellent at escape-driving. However, he’s probably less excellent at it when I’m literally throttling him, which I would be doing if I was within three feet of him, SO… (Also, who’s chasing Dorlas? Good odds whoever it is works for Brandir, or with him, or something, so even if we did get away, I’d probably call them and turn him in at the next payphone.)

The History of Middle-earth \ House of Haleth Part II

After the death of Handir the Haladin dwindled and became more reclusive but survived on. They remained in their woods, occasionally ambushing Orcs at the Crossings. It was during the reign of Brandir that Túrin Turambar son of Húrin came to Brethil and became in all but name its leader, leading them in warfare in much the same manner as he had the elves of Nargothrond. Túrin's presence brought the dragon Glaurung to Brethil and though Túrin succeeded in slaying the beast, he slew Brandir in a rage as the final threads sparing him from his doom unravelled. Túrin's suicide ended that period in the history of the Haladin .But their dealings with Húrin and his cursed kin were not yet over for Húrin himself came among them after twenty eight years of captivity in Angband. Now a broken man he succeeded in sparking a civil war in the House of Haleth owing to his perception of the treatment of his wife whom he found at the grave of their children. Obel Halad was burnt and all potential heirs slain or driven away in the anarchy that followed. In that way did the House of Haleth cases to be in the year F.A. 500. The Drúedain who had dwelt in the forest of Brethil were reduced to a few families of mainly woman and children, who fled to the Mouths of Sirion.

ok. LONG POST UNDER THE CUT. i have endeavored to create a list of Every Named Character In The Quenta Silmarillion. PLEASE tell me if you think i’m missing someone, that’s why i’m posting it.

included characters: Eru, Valar, Maiar, creatures that I think are probably Maiar (like Oromë’s horse), Elves, Men, Peredhil, Dwarves, Dragons and other Creatures of Morgoth with Personal Names (given that Glaurung seems sentient, and it felt wrong to include Huan but not Carcharoth, for example)

excluded characters: anyone not in the text of the Quenta Silmarillion proper (eg Andreth), anyone referred to only by a title (eg the Lord of Nogrod), any creature of Morgoth referred to only by its type (eg the werewolf that Finrod fought)

sorted mostly by order of appearance in text, with the caveat that most humans are listed in their own section and sorted by houses because that makes it easier to keep track of them
