From Ost-in-Edhil, the city of the Elves, the highroad ran to the west gate of Khazad-dûm, for a friendship arose between Dwarves and Elves, such as has never elsewhere been, to the enrichment of both those peoples.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, “Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age”

Tolkien Gen Week Day Four: Solo & Language

503 FA

"I am...shit, what's the khazad word for ex-queen?" I scramble to look for a word. A word that's somewhat translatable to what I need it to be. Anything. It can be anything remotely close to former-queen. It gets old saying my whole history in westron.

Valar speaking and learning to read dwarven runes are entirely different types of stone, as Duirn likes to put it. Learning to read their runes was a piece of honey cake. Their language on the other hand is just as complex as Quenya. As a native Quenya speaker, this should be a breeze but here I am failing. Miserably.

Not the first fail either. The first was mistaking one darrows advice to go left instead of right for them inviting me to dine with them. I promptly went right and bashed my head on a low-hanging doorframe. Safe to say I was not ready to go out on my own. Nor speak their language to them.

"Ah, close enough...oh even better, okay let's try this," I clear my throat and start again. "I am Danafinwe Feaelenion Feanorian, former queen of the Noldor."

Not bad. It feels a tad too formal. But we can work with it.

_____

"Nice to meet you, I am Danafinwe Feaelenion Feanorian, the former queen of the Noldor in Beleriand," I flip the page and the thought-up sequences of possible conversation continues.

"Yada, yada, yada,"

"Yes I do enjoy dwarven architecture, it's....it's...how do I say--"

"Are you holding a conversation with yourself?" Holy shit. How did I not hear him walk in? Dwarves are heavy on their feet, I should have heard him ages ago. Valar I'm a mess.

"Durin,"

"Well?" Durin takes a seat at the large table he had built. Longer legs and wider leaves. Spacifficly so I don't have to sit on the floor. As I was.

Durin looks over my papers. Unconsciously tucks a golden braid behind his ear. The colour reminds me of Findo. The exact same shade of blonde. It almost pains me to remember what my brothers did to him. Our cousin.

"Yes, I was," I hold up the book on Khazad and the paper of dialogue I'm using for practice. "I'm teaching myself,

"You need the practice,"

Can always count on a dwarf for an honest opinion. That or your siblings. "I am aware,"

"Then let's practice." _____

1697 TA

"You're doing great," I encourage Tauriel, she expressed her fondness for learning languages years ago. I told her I would teach her Khazad when she turned 100. Yesterday was her one hundredth. Now we learn.

She already knows Quenya, Sindarin and Westron. Khazad is next on her list.

"No, I'm not. I'm never gonna get it,"

"Yes, you are. Trust me Tauriel you will and you will be so proud," I remember what Durin called me when I too got discouraged. A lout. A lazy lout. "It could be worse, you could have a dwarf call you a lazy lout,"

"Did Durin call you that?"

"Yes he did and he meant it as a kindness," I'm sure Durin meant it as it is. A lazy troublemaker who kept fucking up his precious language. After learning what it meant in Khazad I purposefully fucked up.

That got Durins attention and then he affectionately said it. Some married couple we made. A matter of convenience for both parties involved. Thank the valar we never made it official. Just a small document drawn up to outline the agreement.

"Come let's try again,"

"Alright,"

"I am Tauriel Feanorian, daughter of Danafinwe Feanorian and Nanwe Feanorian," I can't help but smile. Nanwe decided he and Tauriel would use my last name instead of his. A fact that makes me prouder to call them my beloved and child.

I'll never be over-calling Tauriel, my daughter. Never. It will always bring a smile to my face.

"I am Tauriel Feanorian, daughter of Danafinwe Feanorian and Nanwe Feanorian,"

"Perfect." Just how a dwarf would say it.

[ToH Fan Race] Khaza-Dawri "Dwarves" Ideas

They live 'IN' the right ankle of the Titan, where they mined for the Titan's dried marrow(Mythril, in their tongue), as well as some precious stones, metals, gemstones and minerals.

Like most fantasy dwarves, they are stunty, muscular, usually heavily bearded, and don't do magic. However, they use the runes magic.

Runes Magic is resemble to glyphs, but permanently carved upon certain objects(Especially weapons, armors, working tools, or utensils for high-end Dwarves). However, it requires special ink made of Titans' marrow-limestone-herb mixtures.

They relies on clans systems, and somehow isolated from the witches. They only contacted with the ones worth their time & work. For examples, Emperor's Covens, or The Blights.

Despite being greedy, they are honest, grateful & almost always keeping their words. If someone has done some good to them, they will at least pay for it by sparing them from intruding, or offer them runic service. In the other's hand, all the vengeances are remembered & must be paid. Hiring them requires some great payment, and fussy conditions.

Khaza-Dawri used to have some grudges agaisnt the wild witches, which was almost century ago. However, the Khaza-Dawri always remember.

Ten Year Redraw, Part II

This is the 2013 piece I really wanted to revisit, pretty much ever since I finished it. I was never happy with the rendering or the composition, and even though the text mention's Legolas' small bow, that bow is, like, stupidly small.

"Legolas turned and set an arrow to the string, though it was a long shot for his small bow. He drew, but his hand fell, and the arrow slipped to the ground. He gave a cry of dismay and fear.

...'Ai, ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'" -The Fellowship of the Ring

2023 Redraw:

I love this scene, because to me, it's the first moment things get real for Legolas. Up to this point, the journey has been no big deal for him, even on Caradhras, but now, suddenly, he's faced with the literal manifestation of nightmares, a monster that's only supposed to live in ancient battle-ballads and ghost stories. You can't sing or snark your way out of this one, smartass!

Happy New Year to one and all! May your 2024 be gentle and kind and bright!

January 15th - The Bridge of Khazad-dûm and the Fall of Gandalf

'You cannot pass,' he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.'

Hey Tolkien people and history buffs of Tumblr, I'm in need of your assistance. Does anybody know if there was an actual historical inspiration (or many) to the narrow, no rails, stone bridge of Khazad-dûm?

For context, I'm trying to use it as an example in my theoretical physics dissertation on the dynamics of pedestrians moving in a single line, but I've already met with some resistance from advisors with No Taste. All my google searches have conducted to analyses of the effectiveness of the Khazad-dûm scene in the book & movie, instead of an analysis of the actual "physical" bridge.

I know I could use other modern examples from construction scaffolds or bus and plane boarding/exiting schemes for single-line movement, but that's boring. Uninspired. Everyone does it. What I want is a badass illustration from The Lord of the Rings, and a JRR Tolkien quote on my very theoretical, so abstract that is basically useless, physics dissertation.

A physicist calls for aid.
