'Forefathers of The Three Kindreds'

My contribution as an artist for @tolkienrsb 2025, featuring the first elves to awake at Cuiviénen and establish the three elf clans.

Heyo! Sorry it took me so long to answer; I'm currently on vacation in Europe for the first time! So I don't have access to my tablet to draw anything 🥲

But as for the first Elves, I imagine they'd look pretty nature-esque, in a way? They probably wouldn't have a lot of layers at first, but what they do have would be made of woven grasses, branches, furs, etc. And their masks would start out pretty crude without a face shape, maybe like clay bowls!

"[Years of the Trees:] 2223. The "Ambassadors" return. Great Debate of the Quendi. A few refuse even to attend. Imin, Tata, and Enel are ill-pleased, and regard the affair as a revolt on the part of the youngest Quendi, to escape their authority. None of the First Elves (144) accept the invitation. Hence the Avari called and still call themselves "the Seniors"." (NoME 96)

I think that's super interesting! Tolkien gives multiple potential versions of this whole sequence, when the Three Ambassadors return to Cuiviénen, so this is only one of them, but it's kind of my favorite. I like the idea that the Three Ambassadors sort of usurped the leadership of the Three Fathers, and that Imin, Tata, and Enel are potentially still out there, and may have a grudge against those three descendants of theirs.

Imin especially is a pretentious asshole, as he claims to be the "Father of all Quendi", and seems to want control over all the Elves. I want to write a fic where Morgoth or Sauron ally with Imin, maybe they tell him they can help him regain his authority over the Elves? It would certainly be an interesting premise if the Three Fathers showed up at Valinor or Beleriand one day, with the intent of taking back their kingship.

Imosril

[PT: Imosril. end PT]

Imosril is a neogender umbrella related to the fear of unreality, madness, things not being quite right, spirals, fractals, lying and deception, delusions and hallucinations, optical illusions, mazes, insomnia, impossibility, and The Spiral from The Magnus Archives.

Imosril is not in itself xenogender, although some specific imosril terms may overlap. While intended to describe gender, imosril may be used for other types of identity as well.

Imosril Terminology

[PT: Imosril Terminology. end PT]

The gender nature for imosril is IMIN, which stands for imosril-in-nature.

The gender quality for imosril is imosrial, with the noun form being imosreality.

The alignment for imosril is imosrilic.

An individual imosril gender is called an imoscin, the plural form of which is imoscins.

The transitioning term is transimosril, which can be shortened to transimo.

An imosrial adult may be called a somnact, while an imosrial minor may be called a rynth.

The word 'imosril' comes from a combination of the words 'insomnia', 'unreality', and the suffix '-osis'. The word 'somnact' comes from the words 'insomnia' and 'fractal', and the word 'rynth' comes from the word 'labyrinth'. Overall, the terms are meant to evoke imosrial concepts.

Thanks to everyone whom we asked for advice with this!!!

Imin vs Tinfang Warble

Imin:

One of the Fathers of the Elves.

First elf ever to wake up, ancestor of the Minyar/Vanyar. Kind of a douchebag, honestly, extremely high standards for their personal following and then they wonder why their counterparts have more dudes. A bit of a dreamer, the first of the three to see the light on the western horizon. Never entirely left behind those first few moments when there was just them, and the stars, and song.

Tinfang Warble:

A half-fay from early drafts of the legendarium noted to be one of the greatest musicians of the Elves.

how are you going to vote against a guy whose honest to god name is tinfang warble

[PT: Dimesril].

[ID: a rectangular flag with 4 horizontal stripes. Their colors from top to bottom are: 4 red pink, coral pink, dirty gold and redwood. In the center of the flag, the lines begin to swirl inwards.

End ID]

Dimesril: A term that is both Dimensen and Imosril, DIMIN and IMIN, dimensenous and imosrial, or any other combination between the two terms.

[ID: A thin line divider. On either end there is a sun symbol. At the center, the divider is cut off by text reading "Team Sun". All of the image is in yellow outlined with bright orange, then copper brown. End ID].

Nendarnē remembered.

She remembered waking up for the first time.

She was confused at first, of course. Before walking on two legs, she crawled on all fours. She looked at foxes, raccoons, rabbits and wolves to learn.
