February 2019 Newsletter Posted!
Our February 2019 newsletter has been posted! This month we continue with our annual amnesty challenge, New Year’s Resolution, to encourage you to begin another year of creative accomplishment on the right foot. We would also like to welcome those newcomers who joined us since the last edition of our newsletter. Angrim is the focus of this month’s Character of the Month Biography, authored by Oshun. As the father of the tragic Gorlim, Angrim embodies both the nobility and the tragedy of the early houses of the Edain.. We have compiled the full list of fanworks updated and completed in the SWG archive during January in the New at the Archive section. And last ut not least, Around the World and Web offers you a collection of articles, news and events in the Tolkien fandom and the wider fandom and academic worlds. . Thanks to our team of volunteers who contributed to our newsletter this month—Elleth, Oshun, Angelica, and Dawn!
three houses of the edain ✾ house of bëor ✾ headcanon disclaimer
     Angrim was a man of the House of Bëor, a blacksmith who perished in the Dagor Bragollach. Before his death, he lived a quiet life with his spouse Lumorn, a gardener, and their son Gorlim. Like his parents, Gorlim was happy with his simple existence by the shores of Aeluin, devoting himself to the happiness of his wife Eilinel, whom he loved more than anything else in Arda.      But this peace was not to last, for the Sudden Flame descended upon Dorthonion, and those who were not slain were forced into battle. Gorlim joined the service of Barahir, finding a strength and courage within himself he had not known was there, and survived the dreadful perils of the war. When the worst of the fighting died down, he thought to flee to Brethil with his family, but upon returning home he found his parents dead and Eilinel vanished.      Grieving and angry, Gorlim returned to Barahir and joined his band of outlaws living in the heights of Dorthonion, but he nursed within him a secret hope that his wife still lived. At times he would depart, alone and secret, looking for Eilinel, and one time he thought he caught a glimpse of her—but before he could chase after her figure, he was captured by Gorthaur’s hunters and tortured for information about the outlaws.      For a time Gorlim resisted, refusing to yield, until Gorthaur promised him he could reunite with his wife if he would only betray his companions. There Gorlim faltered, broken by torment and yearning for his lost love, and in exchange for a free life with her offered up the location of the outlaws’ camp. Then Gorthaur revealed his treachery: Eilinel was long dead, though Gorlim would indeed be reunited with her, cruelly put to death and his spirit snared by Gorthaur’s necromancy.      But Gorthaur had promised freedom along with reunion, and his spells could not hold their souls for long. Thus Eilinel escaped, passing from the circles of Arda, and Gorlim followed—but not before his wraith visited Barahir’s son Beren in a dream, confessing his betrayal and urging him to warn the outlaws, though it was too late to save them. Then Gorlim, too, left this realm to receive the Gift of Men alongside Eilinel his wife.
I have an overwhelming desire for more details on how the Svartálfar live.
There's the distinct possibility the race no longer functionally exists anymore, given the collapse of their last ship, so I doubt further movies will expand upon them. Some might have fallen through portals and thus escaped the destruction, but there can't be anymore than a handful left unless there were others who did not kill themselves at the battle against Bor.
All we saw beyond their war-making was Angrim becoming Kursed, healing Malekith, and their emergence from stasis. We only see loyalists to Malekith because no one else is left, so we can't tell if there even ever were any other factions previously.
What is their culture? What do they consider food? Do they even eat? We don't see enough of Svartalfheimr to be able to say what if anything actually lives there, and we can't tell if its habitable anymore. They are creatures from beyond the universe, it's not entirely possible to make assumptions of what their requirements are.
All we know on the movie canon history for them beyond the film is what Eccleston said about Malekith, to quote Wiki quoting other sources:
"There is a kind of tragic quality to his quest. Because he’s lost his wife, he’s lost his children. He’s lost everything. And he returns for revenge. And the agent for his revenge is the Aether. If he gets hold of that, he is omnipotent."[22] Eccleston continued, "What I thought about a great deal was revenge—there's huge amounts of revenge. One quote is: 'When you seek revenge, be sure to dig two graves.'
That's it. (Apologies, Malegrim shippers, I suppose this wrinkle needs to be accounted for if you decide it enters your headcanon.)
Tangent: I just found out from wiki that Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje actually was physically playing Kurse in the film, rather than just doing motion capture, which is bloody amazing. Also, if you would like to see where they filmed the Svartálfaheimr scenes, let me introduce you to the Skeiðarársandur:
[Source], [Source] and [Source]. It's a volcanic desert in southern Iceland prone to flooding because of the glacier on the volcano above it, making it one of the least decisive landscapes the world has ever seen. Follow those links, you'll see what one of the floods did to a bridge in the area.
I suppose I'm spoiled for canon information from Elder Scrolls' effusiveness and Dark Souls' ability to be mined for secrets, which simply can't be done in a two hour film, beyond the written word, such as the book in Asgard or perhaps the Svartálfar script seen at several points throughout the film. I only knew the book was going to be seen, so I didn't have time to capture pictures of any of that text to see if it resembles functional language, or even just a simple cipher like the runes effectively were. I suppose when the film is released, the possibility of finding out will be opened to us.
But still, some extra information would be nice.
