Hello and welcome to Finwëan Ladies Week!

September 21-27, 2026

This is a week-long event celebrating the ladies of the line of Finwë! There have been events within the Silmarillion fandom focused on the sons of Finwë and their descendents, and to add to the fun this week was established to give his wives, daughters, and other female descendants their own time to shine.

This year, Finwëan Ladies Week will run from September 21-27, 2026!

Any content and creations about the ladies of Finwë’s line are welcome! You can create edits, gifs, fanart, fanfic, fanmixes, and more!

a drabble for @tolkiengenweek and also written for the 7/4/2026 SWG instadrabble session for the prompt: Can’t do a thing with ashes / But throw them to the wind

.

No one dared venture north again, but Finrod supposed it did not matter. The fires had burned hot and long—there could be no bodies to bury, anyway. He stood atop a hill, not far from the Narog, and watched the red glow on the northern horizon. Thought of the Fens of Serech, of Barahir and Emeldir and all their folk. Of his brothers, two out of the three. Gone.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them.

MIRIEL ÞERINDË

“For centuries my hands attempted to translate what my body had screamed, but without me standing there like a bloody mug, poised and present to interpret each and every stitch, because if I’m not there then a text remains that no one knows how to read and this is how my story begins, with birth misread into death, like a damned joke, get this, so a midwife walks into an autopsy, right —“

Elven words for the stars, Elven words for the moon

This is a collection of elven words related to the sun including poetic and archaic words. ☀️🌤️⛅️

More in the linguistic resources and word of the day (wotd) tags! Let me know if there are any topics you would like to see covered

Anar and Anor are the most common Quenya and Sindarin names for the sun, both deriving from nar meaning fire

Hŷr is an older Sindarin word for the sun. The later Sindarin word úr meaning fire derived from this.

On my moon words post I mentioned Ránuringwi, an archaic Quenya word for moon and sun. This word places rán, the root for moon first. But there is also an older word, ahúrasilqui meaning sun and moon, from ahúra, an older word for sun.

Ceuranar in Quenya means new sun after (winter) solstice, from anar and ceura meaning renewed

Glaw means sunshine in Sindarin, derived from law meaning to flourish green or grow

Auglas is an older Sindarin word for bright sunshine. It is derived from augla meaning a sunbeam and further derived from the root awa meaning burn, parched, yellow or warm

Árë means sunlight or sun warmth in Quenya. It is derived from as meaning warmth. Arma meaning ray of sunlight derives from árë.

Aurfaiglim is an archaic or poetic Sindarin word meaning the sun at noon. Authmeg is the general word for noon in early Sindarin.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
