“Therefore Húrin was brought before Morgoth, for Morgoth knew that he had the friendship of the King of Gondolin; but Húrin defied him, and mocked him. Then Morgoth cursed Húrin and Morwen and their offspring, and set a doom upon them of darkness and sorrow; and taking Húrin from prison he set him in a chair of stone upon a high place of Thangorodrim. There he was bound by the power of Morgoth, and Morgoth standing beside him cursed him again; and he said: ‘Sit now there; and look out upon the lands where evil and despair shall come upon those whom thou lovest. Thou hast dared to mock me, and to question the power of Melkor, Master of the fates of Arda. Therefore with my eyes thou shalt see, and with my ears thou shalt hear; and never shalt thou move from this place until all is fulfilled unto its bitter end.’”

New print available in our shop! Hand-pulled screenprint with extremely long lasting eco-friendly inks, available in a variety of colours.
This print is a collaboration with the extremely talented @dyrs_hjarta_art and inspired by the Binding of Fenrir myth: you can see the huge wolf Fenrir right in the centre of the artwork, entangled by the smooth and supple fetter called Gleipnir, and gagged by a sword after he devoured the god Tyr’s hand. On the top the mask of the Allfather, Odin, and the six materials the dwarves required to forge the fetter from Svartalfheim: the sound a cat makes when it moves, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the sinew of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird. You can see the gloomy faces of two of those dwarves on both sides of the print. On the bottom, the gods are fastening Gleipnir to the boulder Gjoll and the rock Thviti.
You can read more about it directly on https://limbsdisarm.etsy.com
The print is available on t-shirt, backpatch and tote bag. DM if you have any question!
I drew two of my favorite D&D NPCS, they are paladin commanders so I drew them in some simple training attire. :)

You know… I’ve said a lot before about Thorin’s company mistaking Thranduil for Thingol. Blah blah blah, information is hard to come by, it’s not like they could Google it. One elfking must seem very alike to another.
But. Glorfindel has got me thinking. What if the dwarves know that Thingol died? What if they just also think that elves - all elves - come back from death to middle earth, give or take a little time? It’s not such a big leap when you think about it.
If they think Thranduil is literally Thingol-resurrected, back and with a hell of a grudge against dwarves, no wonder they didn’t want to talk to him.
Thranduil sends over a letter that’s like “I can’t make it to the meeting so i’m sending my son :) be nice to him and give him snacks.” and they’re like oh fuck holy shit fuck oh no ok WHAT do we expect here
and then it’s
its legolas.
Omg.Yes. They’re pouring frantically through old histories being like ???? Did Luthien have a brother? Is it Daeron?? And someone figures, okay, if he’s back from the dead he can probably have more kids, right? Also this means that Melian is back too. They might not know what to expect, but Luthien’s the baseline so you know it’s gonna be wild.
Then Legolas shows up in understated green and brown with leaves in his hair like. Hi. :)
