the line of elros ♚ royalty of númenor ♚ headcanon disclaimer

          Cemendur was the son of Axantur, a lord of Hyarastorni. Though he was the youngest of his father’s children, his brother Ardamir preferred life in the city and his sister Lindissë moved to Forostar with her spouse, allowing him to inherit his father’s lands.           In his childhood he befriended Rerindë, the daughter of one of his father’s farm-workers, they were wed as soon as they came of age. Cemendur and Rerindë had two children: Írildë, a lace-maker who studied under her great-aunt Yávien’s tutelage, and Hallatan, who became involved in politics whilst on a visit to his uncle Ardamir in Armenelos.           Hallatan represented Hyarastorni in the Council of the Scepter, where he was known as the “Sheep-lord” for his rural holdings. He befriended Prince Anardil, and after the prince inherited the scepter and became Tar-Aldarion, he entrusted the regency of Númenor to Hallatan while he was on his voyages to Middle-earth.           Írildë grew very close to her dear friend Raivatamë, another lace-maker taught by Yávien. It was through Írildë that Hallatan met Raivatamë, and he swiftly fell in love. Though Raivatamë was originally reluctant to accept his suit, they were eventually wed, and had two children: Nessanië, a student of the heavens with a special interest in weather, and Hallacar, who followed in his father’s footsteps as a politician.           In truth, Raivatamë loved not her husband, but his sister; her marriage grew cold and distant after the birth of their children, and she abode more often with Írildë, with whom she was truly happy. Hallacar was raised seeing his mother only infrequently, and this rift in his family of origin would foreshadow an unhappy marriage of his own.

We can deny our nature for a time, but not forever. (The conclusion of the story is not a fixed one.) 

Written for the April 9th, 2018 poetry prompt, Rain Towards Morning by Elizabeth Bishop. The full text of the poem is in the end note.

Since Írildë was glossed as 'Beloved Brilliance' at some point, I suppose that means we can also translate írë as 'beloved'. So the line of Fingolfin names daughters after beloved sisters.

Or would have, if Tolkien had not gone with Itarillë.

So, apparently, before Tolkien decided on Itarillë, Idril's Quenya name was Írildë, and this is interesting to me, because it would mean that both Fingolfin and Turgon named their daughters after their sisters. Írimë, Írissë and Írildë all contain the element írë ('desire') with a feminine suffix.

And it kind of makes sense. From the Shibboleth, it seems that Fingolfin and Írimë were close, considering she went with him to Middle-earth while the rest of their (full) siblings stayed in Aman. Turgon seems to have been closer to Aredhel than he was to Fingon, and perhaps Argon. It would appear that Fingolfin and Turgon were closest to their younger sisters.
