Tulkas dwells in his halls in Valimar, and they are wide and tall, and they have a tower of bronze. In the halls he keeps weapons and records of battle, and in the yard his people fight and compete in feats of strength. He wedded Nessa in a great ceremony on the isle of Almaren in the Spring of Arda, and theirs is the type of all unions. He is called the Golden Haired, for he appeared in the form of a great man with golden hair, and in his feats of strength he used ever only his bare hands, and went ever unarmored. He was swift beyond most, and delighted in all sports. He is the lord of the Mahtani, the fiery spirits of combat and strength. They are those that delight in combat and the arts of strategy and war, and have aided many in need of aid in defense of their lives. The chief of the Mahtani is Telumehtar, the Warrior of the Heavens, whose image Varda set in the sky as a warning to Melkor and a sign of the Dagor Dagorath, the Last Battle. He is a fierce warrior, with a diamond studded belt and a great sword, and when he unsheathes it at the end of the world, the diamonds will go red, and the sky will burn. He is prophesied to fight with Melkor at the end of the world, and along with Tulkas and Túrin will deal him the death blow. He is the patron of shielding magick, and wards. Makar and Meássë are others of the Mahtani, and they are brother and sister. They dwell to the north in Valinor by the Halls of Mandos in Halls of Iron, and Tulkas comes there often to wrestle and test his strength. They are the Warrior and the Gruesome. They are the patron of hexing and jinxing for a just cause, and are friends to those in need. Tulkas is a merry friend of the children, and is a patron of Men in particular.
