Nellas watching over Túrin

[cuthalions]

'The elf-maiden that you named, though I forget how: I owe her well for her timely witness; yet I cannot recall her. Why did she watch my ways?' Then Beleg looked strangely at him. 'Why indeed?' he said. 'Túrin, have you lived always with your heart and half your mind far away? As a boy you used to walk with Nellas in the woods.' 'That must have been long ago,' said Túrin. 'Or so my childhood now seems, and a mist is over it. Why would I walk with an elf-maiden?' 'To learn what she could teach, maybe,' said Beleg, 'if no more than a few elven-words of the names of woodland flowers. Their names at least you have not forgotten. Alas! child of Men, there are other griefs in Middle-earth than yours, and wounds made by no weapon. Indeed I begin to think that Elves and Men should not meet or meddle.' Túrin said nothing, but looked long in Beleg's face, as if he would read in it the riddle of his words. NELLAS OF DORIATH never saw him again, and his shadow passed from her.

But there was a maiden named Nellas who lived in the woods...

I have so much fondness for Nellas. She's one of my favorite Silm elves. I love the descriptions of the language and stories she teaches Túrin and I find the detail about him forgetting her to be one of the most sad and chilling...though he does remember the names of the flowers she taught him...

Then Beleg went out, and led in by the hand the maiden Nellas, who dwelt in the woods, and came never into Menegroth; and she was afraid, as much of the great pillared hall and the roof of stone as of the company of many eyes that watched her.

And when Thingol bade her speak, she said: 'Lord, I was sitting in a tree'; but then she faltered in awe of the King, and could say no more.

At that the King smiled, and said: 'Others have done this also, but have felt no need to tell me of it.'

god I absolutely adore this moment in the children of húrin. thingol smiling and gently teasing nellas to help her relax around him is super funny and cute. love that he canonically and consistently has a sense of humor even with people he's not very familiar with

Obscure Tolkien Blorbo: Round 1

Nellas vs Curufin's wife

Nellas:

An Elf of Doriath and friend of Túrin when he was a child.

I just think she's neat

Curufin's wife:

The wife of Curufin and mother of Celebrimbor, who remained behind in Aman during the Flight of the Noldor.

Curufin's wife deserves some votes for putting up with him. She was married to that guy and had to deal with all the murders and she didn't even get a name! Where is the justice! I actually think she should get to be an active participant in the murders.

just picture the woman who married curufin AND raised celebrimbor, and then tell me why you’re Not voting for her. go on, i’ll wait

In honour of pride month and these all being extremely underrated

[cuthalions]

Nine years Túrin dwelt in the halls of Menegroth. His heart and thought turned ever to his own kin, and at times he had tidings of them for his own comfort. For Thingol sent messengers to Morwen as often as he might, and she sent back words for her son; thus Túrin heard that Morwen's plight was eased, and that his sister Niënor grew in beauty, a flower in the grey North. And Túrin grew in stature until he became tall among Men and surpassed that of the Elves of Doriath, and his strength and hardihood were renowned in the realm of Thingol. In those years he learned much lore, hearing eagerly the histories of ancient days and great deeds of old, and he became thoughtful, and sparing in speech. [He didn´t] win friendship easily, for he was not merry, and laughed seldom, and a shadow lay on his youth. Nonetheless he was held in love and esteem by those who knew him well, and he had honour as the fosterling of the King.
