"But Ulmo coming up the river laid a deep sleep upon them and heavy dreams; and the trouble of the dreams remained after they awoke, but neither said aught to the other, for their memory was not clear, and each believed that Ulmo had sent a message to him alone. But unquiet was upon them ever after, and doubt of what should befall, and they wandered often alone in untrodden lands, seeking far and wide for places of hidden strength; for it seemed to each that he was bidden to prepare for a day of evil, and to establish a retreat, lest Morgoth should burst from Angband and overthrow the armies of the North." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Return of the Noldor"

@arwenindomiel's tolkien south asian week 2025 day 3: more fair than mortal tongue can tell ✦ LÚTHIEN

Her starlight faded and the night closed o'er the snowdrops glimmering white. Thereafter on a hillock green he saw far off the elven-sheen of shining limb and jewel bright often and oft on moonlit night; and Daeron's pipe awoke once more, and soft she sang as once before.

"The mightiest and proudest was Ar-Pharazôn the Golden of all those that had wielded the Sceptre of the Sea-Kings since the foundation of Númenor; and four and twenty Kings and Queens had ruled the Númenóreans before, and slept now in their deep tombs under the mount of Meneltarma, lying upon beds of gold." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Akallabêth"

Listen, listen I'm not totally on board with the headcanon that Erestor is the secret son of Haleth and Caranthir but ... It feels like a waste for him to not be at least a peredhel.

And the problem with that is that is that peredhel seem to be mortal (except for Earendil,Elwing and their descendants) It makes me want to tear out my hair.

@tolkienofcolourweek 2024 Day 3: Friendship & Love ⇢ Nimrodel & Mithrellas

The Elven-lady Mithrellas was one of the companions of Nimrodel, among many of the Elves that fled to the coast about the year 1980 of the Third Age, when evil arose in Moria; and Nimrodel and her maidens strayed in the wooded hills of Gondor, and were lost.

WIP Lúthien & Huan (2023) | Lúthien Concepts (2021)

A 2023 update on an old draft of the Princess of Doriath and the Hound of Valinor in search of Beren. Also some older concepts of Lúthien as well.

It's been like a decade since I was super active in the Simarillion fandom (particularly here on tumblr), but I hope to create more art for it again.

This Lúthien and Huan piece has been something I've wanted to finish for a long time (also this is just a cropped preview of the much larger full body piece).

She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests.

Commissions

Hello all! I know I don't typically post non-Tolkien things, but my friend is a professional artist who is currently out of work as he tries to immigrate, and he is currently open to commissions. If you have the means, please consider helping out!

In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold! we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory.
