welcome to tolkien sea week 2026 🦢
have you ever noticed how many of tolkiens characters are connected to the sea? or that quite a few water-related events take place throughout the ages? have you ever wanted to explore elven sea-longing or the vast mystery of what goes on underneath the waves in your work? do you love characters like ulmo, elwing, maglor and tuor? then come join tolkien sea week! a week for celebrating the repeated water and sea motifs in tolkiens work 🌊
written prompts, rules, and faq below ༄.°
Danger lurks beneath the water...
So excited to post my art for #TRSB25 !!! Callback to the very first time I participated, when I also drew Ossë :)
Keep your eyes peeled for the fic promo post... this art isn't standalone, it has a wonderful story crafted by the very talented @cloudyhymns to go with it 🤭
Sauron's original allegiance
As we know, many (if not all) Maiar serve more than one Vala. Melian is mentioned with two at least, but I keep forgetting which of Irmo, Vána and someone else. Olorin worked with Nienna, famously, but seems more directly employed by Manwë, and there was some mention of Varda, and his name and MO if not the book itself suggests Irmo too.
Was Sauron really only serving Aulë before his betrayal, or was Aulë simply the Vala most willing to take the shame?
Sauron invented necromancy. I've seen it said that Morgoth taught him, but we never see Morgoth doing necromancy himself. Seems like a Sauron thing.
I'm not pointing fingers, but Námo isn't very talkative, he wouldn't talk to the Noldor chroniclers about his fallen Maia.
Aulë would. He talked much with the Noldor, and I think that after the dwarf incident he's very humble (somewhat confirmed by the book when Melkor's bullying discourages him from doing anything bigger), and willing to admit a mistake, or a perceived mistake.
Also, Sauron and his shapeshifting. Not a very Aulë thing. I think Oromë would fit the best. Also, association with big canines. And all the monster lore.
Tbh if I worked with Oromë, and then fell to evil, and repented, and was asked to go back to Aman... I can see why this was so hard to Sauron.
Oromë is explicitly said to be unforgiving, even in the published silm where the Valar don't have many faults. So, the thought of meeting him, after betraying him personally, and using his lore for evil (and getting beaten by his dog, which was quite humiliating)... Ouch.
Ha! Investigative journaling 💯, Oromë, I found your dirty secret!
Also this would explain how Sauron knew so much about Huan! Also, Sauron and Huan being sort of ex-colleagues is hilarious.
Plus I feel like being tied to two more Valar makes it easier to imagine Sauron's personality as more than just "control freak". The fatalism and theatricality he got from Námo. The vengefulness and joy of the hunt he got from Oromë.
Also, not about Sauron, but Ossë: why did Aulë, of all people, help him (why besides: Aulë knew the feeling and related to Ossë, because the dwarf incident)? I think that, just as the shallows are between the land and the sea, Ossë was tired both to the Vala of the land and the Vala of the sea.
He was simply closer to Ulmo, or maybe Aulë didn't want to claim the credit for the Maia who actually came back. I think Aulë would be the source of many of Rumil's information. He was the Vala who talked the most to the Noldor.
... Yes, this is an Aulë appreciation post. He is so humble and I love him.

Ah, beautiful days of the Spring of Arda... 🥹💗
Pwwweeeaaase attention to the crisis of the Universe you could probably see in those eyes of thah blobo-fishie... I think it understood the world itself.
Drift drift drift!!!
WITH PLEASURE
(I'm doing an ask game thing! Go see my current WIP filenames here and ask me about them.)
"I don't—there are things I shouldn't say," Frodo says, his voice shaking. "Not ever, to anyone." "Say them to me," the stranger says, voice gentle, cradling, seductive as the water at Frodo's feet and just as haunted by the unknown. "I will keep your secrets. Those whose hearts are given to the sea know the value of silence. Shall I speak an unspeakable thing in my turn, so that you will find it easier?" They lean closer, twisting toward him and straightening up until their eyes are nearly level with each other, and Frodo smells brine, and seaweed, and the crisp shifting sharpness of the air off the ocean just before a storm. "I followed Morgoth, once." A gull above screams, and the waves hiss through the gems on the shore, receding away. Frodo shivers, and it does not feel like fear or like weeping or like the cold of the wind: it only feels like impulse, unknowable, unreasoning, the impetus of motion that underlies every emotion in a mortal heart without belonging to any one thing alone. "I went with him," the stranger says. "I sang with him. I heard his reasons, and they spoke to the secret yearnings of my heart, and I believed in him; and I did his work, because there is too much turbulence in my heart to ever be at peace with an unchanging world, and his was the only vision that offered disruption. It was a beautiful vision, in the beginning. I do not apologize for thinking so, and I do not recant. What came after, from the discord of dissent—for that, I have regret, endless and ever-renewing, but the beginning is not the end, and I know what I saw." Frodo looks for the part of himself that will wonder whether he is in danger, sitting on the beach with a maia of the sea who has confessed to following the evil from which [......]'s evil sprang; and what he finds, instead, is a shadow of an echo of memory, a whisper of grief. Frodo's shadow remembers that beauty, too. "Perhaps I am lucky," Frodo says at last. "To have never seen the beginning." "Perhaps," the stranger says. "But there were lessons to be learned, in that early dissent, which I think many of my kind have been far too glad to forget; and the world might have been better for it, had they listened more closely.
