- Every decade or so, the students have to repaint the classrooms. Elemmírë forced them to like it by telling them they could pick the color scheme, and Rúmil is always thankful he’s partially colorblind.
- Discord helped me title all the books here! A good portion of them are actual fics (!!), so this post is therefore full of fic recs. ✌️ Links below the cut.
- The frieze on the dais has (imagined) scenes of oathtakers accepting their oaths - L to R is Lenwë, Morwë, Enel, Culunálta, & Finwë. No, Rùmil did not have input on the design.
- He helped to found the university, so of courseeverything is wheelchair-accessible. This becomes very helpful later when elves start arriving on ships to Valinor having lost limbs to various wars.
- Yes, he’s an ambulatory wheelchair user. Fëanor made him that cane (not that he tells anyone this - he doesn’t want weird looks) and it’s nearly indestructible.
(disclaimer: ratings & content differ; look through the tags yourself! these are not in any kind of order, and i’ve read most but not all of them myself. )
Since I can’t ink or color this for another week, have some messy lineart of rúmil of tirion teaching from my TFO series :) i love him :)
[image description: a lean elf with long hair in a bun and high-waisted pants leans on a cane and says “class will be ending slightly early today, apologies.” he is holding papers and standing on a dais next to a lectern & stool with a chalkboard and bookcases behind him, and down a ramp to the right is a wheelchair poking into the frame. the dais edge is decorated with some kind of narrative relief carving.]
Impressive@redbootsindoriath made this glowing Rumil of Tirion for Tournament of Iluvatar’s Elder Sons (Turniej Pierworodnych Synów Iluvatara) organized by Drużyna Pyrlandii (The Fellowship of Pyrland).
