The More Things Change

Arwen works on Aragorn's banner. It might be easier if her "help" wasn't around…

For Back to Middle-earth Month 2026, Day 26! Today's prompt is from 2022's Mathom Marketplace event, and I was inspired by @lferion's adorable kitties to write about Arwen's bothersome brothers :3 Also shoutout to @jaz-the-bard for their awesome peredhil headcanons!

My second art for @tolkienrsb was claimed by the lyrical @lferion, who's created a poetic exploration of the five Maiar who became the Istari, covering everything from their origins in the Great Music to their involvement in all the major events from the First Age to the end of the Third Age and beyond!

Istari is Quenya meaning "those who know" and lindalë means "music", thus Istarlindalë is the "Song of the Wise", their story:
