#erestor

Gil Galad's chief councilors and source of headaches.

Rivendell is one big collection of weird, strange, and highly dangerous creatures and beings.

Lord Elrond: Eldritch horror, Maiarin magic through being a descendant of Melian and Lúthien. Raised by fëanorian‘s, absolutely feral if needed. Has connections to a few very dangerous people.

Lord Glorfindel: Ancient, valinor born Balrog slayer. Rose from the dead. Saw things.

Erestor: Silent waters are deep. Probably has some fëanorian blood. Also has connection‘s. Ex spymaster of Himring.

Random terrifying being that wanders the woods and sing‘s laments of time‘s long gone: Either a wrath or Maglor, no one really knows

Elrond Peredhel, resident healer and eldritch crime against nature, self-explanatory

Glorfindel, slayer of balrogs, self-explanatory

Erestor, probably Feanorian, definitely dangerous

Old Feanorian diehards, all of whom are probably looking for an excuse to commit morally justified violence

Old Gondolindrim/Iathrim, who, despite what they might tell you, are exactly as dangerous as the Feanorians

Garthaglir the Library Orc, who absolutely remembers how to use the giant battleaxe he keeps behind his desk

A strange, shadowy figure roaming the valley who I'm *sure* isn't Maglor Feanorian, but who is nonetheless a terrifying singer

Elladan and Elrohir, who have spent the last several centuries becoming nightmare fuel for Sauron's forces

Arwen, eldritch, bites

Bilbo Baggins, not to be underestimated, can defeat a grown man with nothing more than his scathingly polite commentary

Dunedain visitors, vaguely feral, highly trained

Aragorn, very feral, highly trained

Lindir, not actually dangerous, but if you upset him you are going to have problems with everyone else on this list

i think it's been 3 years? since i made my first family tree, but it's always bugged me how messy it was presentation-wise + the possible misinformation caused by the way i didn't clarify that some of the stuff inside was my headcanon. so over my hiatus i decided to remake it haha ^^;; considering how ive made some redesigns in the time since, i think this was rather overdue...!!!

i also wanted a place to put some of the design notes ive been trying to keep track of, so under the cut is an annotated bonus with some extra doodles and miscellaneous information i had a bit of fun going on tangents about:

Lindir, Glorfindel and Erestor

First try drawing Lindir, I hope to do it more often, really.

Old version underneath. The one on top is slightly edited from the one before because I don't like the background nor the lighting of the old one at all.
