My Favorite of the Race of Men

Okay, so in no particular order, my 10 favorite humans: Tar-Ancalime: Numenor’s first ruling queen, Tar-Ancalime is probably the best thing I got out of reading The Unfinished Tales (and that’s saying something, because I freaking love that book.) And I’ve written before about how much I relate to her (except for the whole monarch…

Here’s part two of The Women Who Shaped Middle Earth (here’s where you can read part one.) A five-part series, I’m looking at all the women who had a significant impact on Tolkien’s world. There’ll be some overlap (for example, Haleth and Galadriel both appear in other segments as well), so if you feel I left something out, that might be why, but send me an ask anyway, as I’ll be editing all of this before offering the complete version for download as a .pdf.

This guide, as well as one other guide (to be released later this month) is part of my contribution to Legendarium Ladies April. If you don’t already know about the event, definitely check it out! And if you have any lady-centric questions or issues you’d like to see me make a post for, now’s the time to let me know!

And if you think this is interesting, check out my already completed Atanamili: The Women of the First Age series, which covers all the (mortal) women of the First Age.

Introducing a new downloadable guide in progress: The Women Who Shaped Middle Earth. A five-part series, I’m looking at all the women who had a significant impact on Tolkien’s world.

Archive Monday

Happy Archive Monday! Remember, if you’re waiting to see your question answered, you should definitely check below the cut, as I’ve quite a few “repeat” questions down there with links to the appropriate posts. 🙂 Once you’ve taken care of that, be sure to check out this week’s list from the archives. Today’s theme is Haleth:…

The Alliances of Caranthir the Dark

Caranthir is interesting. He’s always seemed to me to be the most independent of the sons of Feanor (in that, perhaps even more than Maedhros their leader, he acts as an individual, independent of his brothers.) And, even more interestingly, he kind of shows character growth throughout the Silmarillion, as seen through his involvement with…
