Places in Valinor:Taniquetil, the Holy Mountain 

Manwë and Varda are seldom parted, and they remain in Valinor. Their halls are above the everlasting snow, upon Oiolossë, the uttermost tower of Taniquetil, tallest of all the mountains upon Earth.

Tar-Míriel was the daughter of Faithful King Tar-Palantír and should have become the fourth Ruling Queen of Númenor. She herself would have continued her father’s stance, but her cousin Ar-Pharazôn usurped her throne and rule, eventually bringing about the ruin of the island through Sauron’s plotting. She died in the Downfall of Númenor.

eruschildren:

Now when Tuor was sixteen years old the Elves were minded to leave the caves of Androth where they dwelt, and to make their way secretly to the Havens of Sirion in the distant south; but they were assailed by Orcs and Easterlings before they made good their escape, and Tuor was taken captive and enslaved by Lorgan, chief of the Easterlings of Hithlum. For three years he endured that thraldom, but at the end of that time he escaped; and returning to the caves of Androth he dwelt there alone, and did such great hurt to the Easterlings that Lorgan set a price upon his head.

celebrlan:

The Númenóreans began to hunger for the undying city that they saw from afar, and the desire of everlasting life, to escape from death and the ending of delight, grew strong upon them; and ever as their power and glory grew greater their unquiet increased. Thus it was that a shadow fell upon them: in which maybe the will of Morgoth was at work that still moved in the world. And the Númenóreans began to murmur, at first in their hearts, and then in open words, against the doom of Men, and most of all against the Ban which forbade them to sail into the West.

It’s a beautiful book - and would make a wonderful Christmas present for Art and Tolkien lovers alike! :D AND - rather fittingly - all proceeds go to a Literacy Charity.

My piece for @aoaanthology : Eowyn vs the Witchking. I wanted to do something a bit different from my usual Tolkien stuff for the anthology, i.e.: Not Elves.

You can get a copy of the book here !

[In] the year 1075 Ancalimë became the first Ruling Queen of Númenor. It is told that after the death of Tar-Aldarion in 1098 Tar-Ancalimë neglected all her father’s policies and gave no further aid to Gil-galad in Lindon.

Day 5 - Favourite Human [1/?]: BOROMIR

“From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls,
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the bold? For he is long away.’”

mahidevrans:

We may have been mortal when first we met the Elves far away, or maybe we were not: our lore does not say, or at least none that I have learned. But already we had our lore, and needed none from the Elves: we knew that in our beginning we had been born never to die. And by that, my lord, we meant born to life everlasting,without any shadow of any end.
