Elwë Singollo, as he appears in From Cuiviénen with Love, (by me and @skaelds) drawn by the wonderful @asinoeiv

48 years ago today, on Sept. 15th, 1977, The Silmarillion was published. To celebrate my favourite book, here is a brand new photo of one of my favourite Silmarillion characters: Thingol King of Doriath and Lord of Beleriand.

It was a rather spontaneous decision to bring Thingol to our the_eldar_cosplay vacation at Nienhagen in August. My first thought when thinking about a shoot in woodland is always my OC Kelundir. But I have loads of photos of him already and the ghost forest (Gespensterwald) at Nienhagen is pretty special – definitely special enough for the Lord of Beleriand. ;)

Cosplay & edit: me

I hope I'm not annoying. :(

You're not being annoying at all, don't worry!! I love receiving your questions about the AU! Helps me develop the lore hahaa XD

As for the Dark Elves, @overlord-of-fantasy had an idea about them that I really like! You can find it here; they'd indeed wear animal hides and pelts/furs, and their masks could also reflect animal faces to better help with camouflage. I also think they'd be smaller, like you suggested - and this finally gave me the push to draw the different Elven clans lmaoo (using Beren as my human height comparison once again XD)

A set of Finwë illustrations i did !

With Elwë, Miriel & Baby Fëanor (+ Adult Fëanor looking at the painting) and Fëanor

Silm Fae AU - Elu Thingol || @sindarweek 2025: alternate universes

Given his "winged moon" heraldry, I think these Malaysian moon moth wings are *perfect* for him. He's the silver moon king!

All goes well (except when he announces to the entire room that “Fingon Findékano Astaldo Nolofiniwion, Prince of The Noldor and Husband of Maedhros Neylafinwë Maitimo Feanorian” has arrived. In his defense, Eonwë didn’t know secret marriages could last almost four ages). But the Real Drama starts when Elrond arrives.

When Elrond arrives; Eonwë looks at the Peredhel in the entranceway, looks at his magic Scroll of Heritage-Information, and there is a long moment of silence where Eonwë contemplates if he really wants to spend 5 whole minutes announcing Elrond’s heritages.

Eonwë, in the end, decides to take a shortcut. Cuz how wrong could it go? As such, he announced to the Finwean Fam, several courtiers, several politicians, and to the face of Finwe’s actual children that “Elrond, Lord of Imladris Remade, Descendant of Finwë Noldoran and Elwë Singollo, and [Insert Celebrian’s Introduction] has arrived.”

Speculations rise, and whispers are everywhere about what the hell “Descendant of Finwë and Elwë” could mean. (A lovechild, somebody says once jokingly).

Elrond was expecting Earendilion, Neylafinwion, or Kanafinwion, even Peredhel. He was not expecting the first kings of the Noldor and Sindar themselves to be named.

Anyway, the worst part is that because of Mixed Ancestry, Elrond actually does look like a combination of Finwë and Elwë. The lovechild rumors grow.
