Estelmë was an elf of the Minyar who woke upon the shores of Cuiviénen. She traveled with her kin from Endórë to Aman, and entered into the service of Manwë Súlimo in the holy city of Valmar. On the slopes Taniquetil, Estelmë met a servant of her lord’s wife, Fëarillo of the order of Varda, and the two fell deeply in love. Before long they were wed, and when they wished to start a family of their own, they left the service of their Valar and settled in a small home in the city.           Estelmë bore Fëarillo two children: a daughter, Amárië, and a son, Laurorno. Amárië was a dancer who traveled all over Valinórë entertaining wide-reaching audiences, while Laurorno was a gardener who entered the service of Yavanna Kementári. Amárië grew close to Findaráto Ingoldo, prince of the Noldor and the Falmari, and her parents expected the two to wed: but alas, they were yet unbetrothed upon the Darkening of Valinor, and amid the chaos Estelmë and Fëarillo forbade their daughter to flee with her beloved into Exile.           This Amárië did not in truth mind, for she had no desire to leave Aman, nor did she and Findaráto love one another as spouses might, though they were dear friends. She bade Findaráto farewell and remained in Valmar with her family, and when her friend Elenwë returned from the Halls of Mandos she helped her to adjust to life once more, and did the same for Findaráto when he returned.            Though Amárië removed from the house of her parents upon Elenwë’s rebirth, not until the reembodiment of Elenwë’s husband Turukáno did she announce any intent to marry, and when she did so her decision was a great shock to her family: flouting the Statue of Finwë and Míriel, Amárië took Elenwë as her wife under the sight of Ilúvatar, while Findaráto took both Amárië and Turukáno as his spouses, and all would live together in harmony under one roof. Though this was not the first such arrangement to be reached, it was the first to be openly declared in Aman, and when these happy bonds of marriage were woven together without disaster, the Valar—and Amárië’s parents—were forced to reconsider the strictures of marriage they had imposed so long ago.
