SILMWEEK DAY 3 - men: Haleth the Hunter, Chieftain of the Haladin
But Haleth was proud, and unwilling to be guided or ruled, and most of the Haladin were of like mood. Therefore she thanked Caranthir, but answered: ‘My mind is now set, lord, to leave the shadow of the mountains, and go west, whither others of our kin have gone.’
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. But seven days later, as the Orcs made their last assault and had already broken through the stockade, there came suddenly a music of trumpets, and Caranthir with his host came down from the north and drove the Orcs into the rivers.
Then Caranthir looked kindly upon Men and did Haleth great honour; and he offered her recompense for her father and brother. And seeing, over late, what valour there was in the Edain, he said to her: 'If you will remove and dwell further north, there you shall have the friendship and protection of the Eldar, and free lands of your own.’

Therefore she thanked Caranthir, but answered: ‘My mind is now set, lord, to leave the shadow of the mountains, and go west, whither others of our kin have gone.' When therefore the Haladin had gathered all whom they could find alive of their folk who had fled wild into the woods before the Orcs, and had gleaned what remained of their goods in their burned homesteads, they took Haleth for their chief; and she led them at last to Estolad, and there dwelt for a time. But they remained a people apart, and were ever after known to Elves and Men as the People of Haleth.
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of The Coming of Men into the West”
As an artist I’m very powerful, I can just wiggle my terrible little fingers and make Haleth of the Haladin give my giant Noldo OC her Lesbian Awakening 2: This time with more existential fear and violent rage against the divine! ………………. I cannot emphasise to you strongly enough how goddamn long ago I started this bloody ‘de-stressing’ ‘’’doodle’’’.
Through sorrow to find joy, or at the least: freedom!
I imagine there was a similar element both in Feanorians’ decision to leave Valinor; and in Haleth’s decision to leave Caranthir. So even if Caranthir would prefer to keep her by his side, he understood the need to be free and not to feel like a pet of a creature much more powerful than yourself…
This is my @officialtolkiensecretsanta gift for @cherepashkadrabbles! I hope you like this! I really enjoyed drawing this, I love these two.

My gift to @isilloth for the @officialtolkiensecretsanta, who requested a fic about Aredhel and/or Caranthir/Haleth. Well you get Aredhel, and a side of Caranthir/Haleth, in a Modern AU.
Summary : If she can get her life together, and if her family doesn’t have anything to say Aredhel might just survive this Christmas. And then become the person she always wanted to be. Who knows?
