Manwe & Melkor reverse au

Thoughts & alternate versions under the cut!

so i was thinking abt what if manwe was the evil brother and anyways this happened. he doesnt seem like he would go for the black and grey iron theme so the evil colors in this universe are probably more along the lines of pale desaturated blues and greys. the helcaraxe would be full of lightning instead of ice (like the thunder battles in the hobbit) manwe!utumno/angband would be really tall towers/fortresses surrounded by storm clouds and he would definitely have his lightning sword from the earlier texts.

i couldnt decide between osse or eonwe being the Dark (or Pale Grey i guess) Lieutenant so I did a few diff versions. also i did arien as lord of arda!melkors herald bc of the whole fire theme.

osse & arien

#silm #silmarillion #reverse au #manwe #melkor #osse #eonwe #mairon #arien #valar #i think feanor would be friends w lord of arda!melkor #something about ambition #and maybe swords (as a martial art and not the violent way hopefully) #land battles would be a lot less common since manwe/eonwe would probably have evil bird armies #and osse would control the waters #on that note if feanor still left aman he would have to go thru the helcaraxe since osse would just sink them all #also evil eonwe looks like orodreth? #i wonder what happens to varda in this au #does she marry melkor? turn evil w manwe? neither? #bc manwes less powerful than melkor but if varda was also off being evil w him that would make up for a lot of the power difference
