@tolkiengenweek day seven | freeform: diversity | trans idril celebrindal

But fairer than all the wonders of Gondolin was Idril, Turgon's daughter, she that was called Celebrindal, the Silver-foot, whose hair was as the gold of Laurelin before the coming of Melkor.

But I Turgon will not leave my city, and will burn with it.

@finweanladiesweek day five | ladies who married in | thôrwen, wife of maglor | for @mad-hermit

Thôrwen was the daughter of Balthôr, chief of the Mithcuind Avari native to northeastern Beleriand. The rising of the Sun altered the Mithcuind’s migration patterns and threw their ecosystem into chaos, and when the Noldor arrived in their homeland they knew they did not have the resources to resist against their rule. Thôrwen subtly influenced her father to instead offer an alliance through marriage with the Noldor’s lord, and she rode out with her eagle companion to demand that Lord Maglor wed her in exchange for her people’s sovereignty over their lands.

Though their marriage began as purely political, Thôrwen’s strong, romantic personality soon endeared her to Maglor, and their relationship warmed into a true love. At the Mereth Aderthad, this relationship expanded to include Daeron of Doriath, and during the Long Peace she bore a daughter, Láminë.

Findis was made by combining the names of her parents. Little is said of her in The Silmarillion. She did not go into exile, but went with her mother after the slaying of Finwë and they abode among the Vanyar in grief...

‘No,’ said Niënor. ‘It is long since I was a child. I have a will and wisdom of my own, though until now it has not crossed yours. I go with you. Rather to Doriath, for reverence of those that rule it; but if not, then westward. Indeed, if either of us should go on, it is I rather, in the fullness of strength.’

But there are some of us still who go abroad for the gathering of news and the watching of our enemies, and they speak the languages of other lands. I am one. Haldir is my name.

prideboards ♡ genderfluid ace maeglin ♡ art from this picrew ♡ for @moriquendii

As Maeglin grew to full stature he resembled in face and form rather his kindred of the Noldor, but in mood and mind he was the son of his father. His words were few save in matters that touched him near, and then his voice had a power to move those that heard him and to overthrow those that withstood him. He was tall and black-haired; his eyes were dark, yet bright and keen as the eyes of the Noldor, and his skin was white. Often he went with Eöl to the cities of the Dwarves in the east of Ered Lindon, and there he learned eagerly what they would teach, and above all the craft of finding the ores of metals in the mountains.

prideboards ♡ genderfluid maglor ♡ art from this picrew ♡ for @maglorslostsilmaril

For Maglor took pity upon Elros and Elrond, and he cherished them, and love grew after between them, as little might be thought; but Maglor's heart was sick and weary with the burden of the dreadful oath.
