Nerdanel the Wise

“She was strong, free of mind, and filled with the desire for knowledge…She made images of men and women of the Eldar, and these were so alike that their friends, if they knew not her art, would speak to them.”

I don't know why, my favourite elf for painting is Maedhros (maybe becouse I like draw red hair), but, my favourite elf from this family-gang is Maglor – poor elf :')

This is the first post in an occasional series discussing the kingdoms and geography of Beleriand – and maybe, eventually, Middle-earth and Valinor. It began as an effort to make the chapter “Of Beleriand and Its Realms” in the Silmarillion more readable, and expanded into an opportunity for me to discuss populations and climate and trade routes. The latter part is all speculation, and I’d be very interested in other people’s thoughts.
