#laureic

Laureic: a gender that feels golden in color, pure, good, bright, strong and alive. May optionally include other elements associated with Laurelin, including daytime, the sun, fire, the Vanyar, some of the Noldor, and elanor flowers. From laure, the Quenya word for “gold”.

Telpeic: a gender that feels silver in color, pure, good, bright, strong and alive. May optionally include other elements associated with Telperion, including nighttime, the moon, water, the Sindar, the Teleri, and niphredil flowers. From telpe, the Quenya word for “silver”.

Aldufluid: Fluid between laureic and telpeic. From aldu, the dual form of the Quenya word for “tree”.

They are based on the Two Trees from Tolkien’s legendarium, Laurelin and Telperion. The au is pronounced like “ow” and each e is pronounced as in “bed” (though that can be difficult for English speakers, and the “long A” sound will be understood as well).

Not to be confused with other light/gold-related genders:

Aureusgender: a gender that feels old, golden, and or lost and ancient.

Auroragender: A gender which is cold, clear and majestic. It is associated with the morning sky, sunlight and clouds. It can be also undefinable but also very beautiful for those who use this label.

Espegender: A gender that involves a connection to the sun or daylight.

Lichtgender: A gender represented by a ball of light.

Liroric: a gender alignment to light or brightness of some kind.
