all the tolkien ladies ♥︎ haleth
Haldad had twin children: Haleth his daughter, and Haldar his son; and both were valiant in the defence, for Haleth was a woman of great heart and strength. But at last Haldad was slain in a sortie against the Orcs; and Haldar, who rushed out to save his father’s body from their butchery, was hewn down beside him. Then Haleth held the people together, though they were without hope; and some cast themselves in the rivers and were drowned.

The Silmarillion meme | The Vanyar : Indis The Fair
There was a fair lady of the Vanyar, Indis of the House of Ingwë. She had loved Finwë in her heart, ever since the days when the Vanyar and the Noldor lived close together. In one of his wanderings Finwë met her again upon the inner slopes of Oiolossë, the Mountain of Manwë and Varda; and her face was lit by the golden light of Laurelin that was shining in the plain of Ezellohar below. In that hour Finwë perceived in her eyes the love that had before been hidden from him. So it came to pass that Finwë and Indis desired to be wedded, and Finwë sought the counsel of the Valar….
For ‘Vanyar/Indis’ aesthetic I used the works Sisters and Yellow of this awesome Chinese artist: Rongrong Wang. Please check out (click on the links) her sites with other fantastic works!
Love beneath the trees
Thingol and Melian meet in the woods of Nan Elmoth
‘No word she spoke but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand; and straightaway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus, hand in hand, while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark ere they spoke any word to one another.’
JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion Chapter 4: Of Thingol and Melian
Beren and Luthien meet in the woods of Doriath.
Again she fled, but swift he came. Tinuviel! Tinuviel! He called her by her elvish name; And there she halted listening. One moment stood she, and a spell His voice laid on her: Beren came, And doom fell on Tinuviel That in his arms lay glistening. As Beren looked into her eyes Within the shadows of her hair, The trembling starlight of the skies He saw there mirrored shimmering. Tinuviel the elven-fair, Immortal maiden elven-wise, About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glimmering.

All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.
@feanorianweek day 7 - nerdanel:
The daughter of Mahtan was NERDANEL, a sculptor of greater skill than any other among the Noldor. In her youth, she took to husband Fëanáro, son of Finwë, with whom she had seven sons. NERDANEL was renowned for her wisdom, and ability to cool Fëanáro’s legendary temper. However, in later days grief and estrangement fell between them and she did not follow him and their sons into exile on hither shores.
“Just a plain hobbit you look,’ said Bilbo. ‘But there is more about you now than appears on the surface. Good luck to you!”
⚝ ILMARË, handmaiden of Varda ⚝
Chief among the Maiar of Valinor whose names are remembered in the histories of the Elder Days are Ilmarë, the handmaid of Varda, and Eönwë, the banner-bearer and herald of Manwë, whose might in arms is surpassed by none in Arda.
“Someone else always has to carry on the story.”
@oneringnet objects event ⚝ THE NAUGLAMÍR
In that labour Finrod was aided by the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains; and they were rewarded well, for Finrod had brought more treasures out of Tirion than any other of the princes of the Noldor. And in that time was made for him the Nauglamír, the Necklace of the Dwarves, most renowned of their works in the Elder Days. It was a carcanet of gold, and set therein were gems uncounted from Valinor; but it had a power within it so that it rested lightly on its wearer as a strand of flax, and whatsoever neck it clasped it sat always with grace and loveliness.

Men? Men are weak. The race of Men is failing. The blood of Númenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of Men failed. I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom where the Ring was forged, the one place it could be destroyed. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) dir. Peter Jackson
Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Eowyn! But I do not offer you my pity. For you are a lady high and valiant and have yourself won renown that shall not be forgotten; and you are a lady beautiful, I deem, beyond even the words of the Elven-tongue to tell. And I love you. Once I pitied your sorrow. But now, were you sorrowless, without fear or any lack, were you the blissful Queen of Gondor, still I would love you. Eowyn, do you not love me?
Faramir + blue
“The fire of their hearts was young, and led by Fingolfin and his sons, and by Finrod and Galadriel, they dared to pass into the bitterest North; and finding no other way they endured at last the terror of the Helcaraxë and the cruel hills of ice. Few of the deeds of the Nolder thereafter surpassed that desperate crossing in hardihood or woe. There Elenwë the wife of Turgon was lost…” - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion After Elenwë is lost, Turgon and Idril journey on through the Grinding Ice.
