@feanorianweek​ 2021 DAY SEVEN: The Swearing of the Oath

Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor’s kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all: death we will deal him ere Day’s ending, woe unto world’s end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda! —The Annals of Aman, §134

maeglin, 50 fifty years old (elf in the silmarillion in such age yang) 

Maedhros’ Circlet

So I felt inspired/challenged by this post about Maedhros’ copper circlet never being drawn! 

Headcanons under the cut

yes, yes, yes finally some Sauron/Mairon stuff. I held back some of that stuff because I'm not super happy with the design. I'll probaby have to to a lot more sketches/drawings until I'm happy.

Melkor cute )
