Avari cities whose entire populace all faded thousands of years ago.

The gates are open, yet you know you are watched as you walk in.

Surely that is the sound of a bustling marketplace around the bend? But no, you reach the square and its empty of life. The stalls are open, but none sell food.

You take a wooden knickknack from one stall. As you walk away you feel— thiefthiefshameguiltyguiltyTHIEF

You double back and leave a coin. The pressure fades.

On the counter of the inn is a mug of fresh beer, waiting for you. You leave a coin. No, two coins. This was generous.

You sit at an empty table and do not feel alone. You can almost hear the bawdy singing and smell the roasting pork.

The ale tastes like the farm in the dells where you danced with your husband in the wheat fields and kissed him below the endless stars and the bedroom where you promised your eternal soul to his and the floorboards he cut himself that you buried his empty shell under and the green door you closed behind you for the last time as you set out for something new and the eastward breeze that sometimes carries his voice out of the Uttermost West and the answers you’ll never give him

You were never married. You’re not thirsty anymore.

As you lie down in an empty room, nothing wishes you peaceful dreams.

You wake up. The bed is a mound of dirt. The inn is dust. The marketplace is stones and overgrowth. The gate is closed. The walls about it are gone.

In what might have been the rot of the stall you visited, no copper gleams. You take the toy you purchased from your pocket. The paint is still unchipped.

You leave through what might have been a watchtower, once. Remember, you do not hear it say.

Elves in lothlorien, rivendel, the harbors: the elves of mirkwood are so isolated from the world, they hate outsiders.

Elves of Greenwood the great (thank you very much): *routinely trade with their human neighbors.*

Elves of Greenwood: *used to do business with the dwarves in the next door mountain before the dragon came, and continued business when smaug was killed.*

Elves of Greenwood: *have a yearly celebration with the different avari groups that lasts 10 days.*

Elves of Greenwood: no, we’re not isolated. We just don’t like you.

All Vanyar have + 2 when using their voice, for singing or convincing others and advantage on Intelligence. They prefer to fight with spears and have white banners in battle. They are residents of Oiolossë and Valimar. They speak Sindarin (common) and Quenya (the Vanyar dialect). If they were born in Valinor they glow in the dark meaning enemies might spot them.

Description: The Vanyar all have golden hair.

Noldor:

About: The Noldor is the second host of the Eldar. Noldor means those who know, showing their thirst for knowledge. They are known for being the most skillful of the Eldar hosts and were loved by Aule, whom they learned from. Their most known skills include developing their language, building castles and towns, gem cutting, and smithing. They are also infamously known as being the proudest of the Elvers. They have advantage in Intelligence and Wisdom. As a Noldor you can be devoted to any of the Valar except Namo. They favor swords and shields above other weapons. They are residents of Tirion, Formenos, Nevrast, Hithlum, Gondolin, Nargothrond, Dorhonion, All East Beleriand, and Lindon (all over Beleriand these are just the most known of). They speak Sindarin (common) and Quenya. If they were born in Valinor they glow in the dark meaning enemies might spot them.

They have advantage in Intelligence and Charisma. They are residents of Alqualondë, Isle of Balar, Ossiriand, Doriath, Tol Eressëa, and Mithlond. They speak Sindarin (common), Quenya, Telerin, and Nandorin. If they were born in Valinor they glow in the dark meaning enemies might spot them.

Nandor (Sub-Race of the Teleri): The Nandor is the Teleri who turned aside from the Great Journey to the Misty Mountains, they are described as having white skin, and dark or brown hair, and are great lovers of nature and animals in the dark and deep forests, and are a very secretive folk. They are called green Elvers. They are farmers out from their name Nandor which means farmer. They are residents of Lothlórien, as the first people there, Greenwood the Great (although that´s first mentioned in the second age, they where the first residents there so they probably where there in the first age too), Belfalas, Ithilien, might have been the first there, and Ethir Anduin, as the first people there. They speak Sindarin (common), Silvan Elvish, and Nandorin (their own language).

Fish of the March of Maedhros

Flora, fauna, geography and environment masterlist

Two prominent rivers run in the March of Maedhros. Southeast of the Hill of Himring in the foothills of the March is the river Celon, a tributary to the river Aros which itself is a tributary to Sirion. Upon the hill of Himring is a spring from which flows little Gelion, the stream that meets Gelion to form one of the seven rivers of Ossiriand. 

A variety of freshwater fish can be found in these rivers. I also headcanon there is at least one lake where fish are found and sometimes caught.

Note: due to differences in proximity to the sea, temperature, and unknown factors, such as speed of water, even more than my other animal posts. A lot of these are going to be approximations on real species and their morphology and behavior rather than exact replicas so just keep that in mind. I also headcanon that the March is a strange place.

As I will, as always, I will include some world building notes at the bottom!

Found in the upper reaches of Celon: (a species similar to) giant Siberian trout, freshwater cod, freshwater lamprey (river and brook), white eyed bream, common barbel

Found in little Gelion: rainbow trout, common bream (in slower stretches), common bleak, riffle minnow (slow stretches), common minnow

Both: freshwater eels, Cottus koshewnikowi, asp, freshwater sculpin, alpine bullhead, silver carp

Found in lakes: Arctic char, dwarf sculpin, Abyssocottus elochini, red sculpin, Omul, Coregonus maraena, ide, other minnow species

The lakes, ponds and deeper rivers of the March also contain stranger creatures including iridescent eels, creatures between fish and something else, shadowed giants never seen in their full size and more

World building notes:

-Fish are eaten in the March, both fresh and salted. Indeed dried or salted fish is rare in other elven realms (however both dwarven and human cultures have it more frequently). Roe is also eaten

-Fresh fish are usually served at Himring and in the smaller outposts throughout the March. Scouts often take dried fish in their satchels but rarely catch them as they are highly trained to be inconspicuous and avoid fires to cook

-Fishing in the March is done throughout the year however it can be extremely dangerous during the winter. There are those among Maedhros’s host who particularly enjoy the risk and return yearly to the icy waters.

-Fish are primarily seasoned with salt and with local herbs such as garlic chives, lovage,Rarer dishes might involves dried bay leaves from Nevrast or thyme, primarily from Ossiriand and Dorthonion, pepper from the Ered Luin, and imported wines, also from Ossiriand, Nevrast, and Thargelion

-Trout appear in Avarin lore as guides and are not eaten by them.

-Some of the strange creatures including fish that are native to the March later appear in sigils, heraldry, and art created by the host of Maedhros

I really can't imagine how stupid the Avari must have thought the Noldor (and not without reason).

"So you leave Middle Earth right when it becomes safe(ish) and then you return at the exact moment morgoth sets up shop here again???"

#not me being personally a little bitchy #because fighting cruel enemy forces and losing badly unless with outside help is our thing! but we didn't *choose* to live here! #(i mean presumably someone once looked over the masovian plain and thought it was a nice place to set up camp in (why?? it's so flat) but #that would have been like 100 generations ago and shouldn't count) #// #my post #avari #noldor #flight of the noldor #tolkien #Silmarillion #silm #peoples of arda

Turindë (OC)

She is the ruling queen of the Avari in the Valinorian Years Verse. She lives in a palace near the coast of the lake Cuiviènen and is one of the oldest elves alive. She is crowned with the fire crown, the symbol of light and indipendece of the Avari, who most of all battle the creatures of the darkness and cherish all fire and warmth. She wears flaming jewels and a dark blue dress that is adorned with stars, that were the only natural light for the longest time.

#Nothing could possibly go wrong #Avari #dragon oc #my art #Barbie movie reference cause I’m still thinking about it

[silvantransthranduiltrash]

Obsessed with the idea that the avari have just this whole history and culture that is so vast and the sindar and valinorian elves just have no idea about.

Until Legolas or someone mentions smth like “Emperor Alriv of the Arun Elves” and they go:

“Wait- WHAT-“

#lord of the rings #lotr #silmarillion #the hobbit #lotr elves #legolas #Avari elves #avari #the avari is such a generalization #there are like 5 distinct a seperate groups withon the avari #with their own cultures and history and ways of lofe #that is just as colorful as the noldor or the sindar etc

About Aule...

I always feel there is something more about him. I...can't explain.

His Maias are the 'rebels' (Saruman and Sauron).

He disobeyed Eru and Dwarves were born, then nearly killed them later if Eru haven't decided to spare them.

He's the Valar of craft, which is very important to Feanorians and even others Finwes's story, its similar to creation.

Valinor's culture must be kinda toxic and I think that goes for craft. Like the Catholic Church? The restrictions in creativity and blasphemy?

Again, I pity Avari so much for begin forced into that Paradise wannabe.
