ATLAS OF ARDA ⇢ ANGBAND

↳ for @tolkienhorrorweek Day 1: Angband

In the north of the world Melkor had in the ages past reared Ered Engrin, the Iron Mountains, as a fence to his citadel of Utumno; and they stood upon the borders of the regions of everlasting cold, in a great curve from east to west. Behind the walls of Ered Engrin in the west, where they bent back northwards, Melkor built another fortress, as a defence against assault that might come from Valinor; and when he came back to Middle-earth, as has been told, he took up his abode in the endless dungeons of Angband, the Hells of Iron, for in the War of the Powers of the Valar, in their haste to overthrow him in his great stronghold of Utumno, did not wholly destroy Angband nor search out all its deep places.

Darkening of Valinor

“The Elder knew not when she came; but some have said that in ages long before she descended from the darkness that lies about Arda, when Melkor first looked down in envy of the Kingdom of Manwë, and that in the beginning she was one of those that he corrupted to his service. But she had disowned her Master, desiring to be mistress of her own lust, taking all things to herself to feed her emptiness; and she fled to the south, escaping the assaults of the Valar and the hunters of Oromë, for their vigilance had ever been to the north, and the south was long unheeded. Thence she had crept towards the light of the Blessed Realm; for she hungered for light and hated it.

In ravine she lived, and took the shape as a spider of monstrous form, weaving her black webs in a cleft of the mountains. There she sucked up all the light that she could find, and spun it forth again in dark nets of strangling gloom, until no light more could come to her abode; and she was famished.” -J. R. R. Tolkien

Ang-gang!!!

For angbang week instead of reading "angbang" I read "angang" and started doing it XDD so I'm posting it now.

Manwe is here because he wants free drinks or because he is actually an essential part of Angband. Whatever you prefer.

Some see Beren as idiotic for relying so much on Lúthien’s dad’s blessing to marry her instead of just running off with her as she was willing to do … but you guys need to understand just how noble and un-toxic that is of him.

He doesn’t want to take her away from her family forever or force her to cut all ties with them. He knows there’s a chance her dad will disown her if he takes her away and he doesn’t want to put her through that. (Thingol never directly says this, but I think it’s possible he would’ve, considering that he’d literally rather send this guy to die than let him marry her, so if she were to disappear with this guy, he probably wouldn’t be happy with her. Either way, Beren is an understandably paranoid person.)

Plus it’s important to remember that at this point, Beren believes that Lúthien will outlive him by centuries - he has no idea of what is to come. So if he were to just take her away, he’d condemn her to eternity as an outcast from her family and people, long after his death. On top of that, he’s already a wanted man. Morgoth’s forces are hunting for him. So without her family’s support or the safety net of Doriath, Lúthien would be left all alone with the long-lasting consequences of being Beren’s widow during a time of war against the Dark Lord who already massacred Beren’s dad and friends.

Naturally that’s the last thing he wants her to have to deal with. How could he whisk her off for a few decades of bliss just to die and leave her with the burden of paying the price for HIS enmity with Morgoth himself while being an outcast from her people?

Thus, instead of running away, he takes the most dangerous path because that is the path that will allow them to be happy together without costing Lúthien her loving relationship with her parents or her safety net.

A lesser man would’ve just swept her away. But Beren doesn’t want Lúthien to lose or give up anyone she loves in order to be with him, or be left as an eternal target of Morgoth with no backup or support system.

Come on, ladies, that’s husband goals right there.

Angband & Utumno

In the elder days Melkor had ordered for another fortress to be built. West of Utumno and closer to the Valar. And deep into the mountain Sauron had built his city of madness. In Angband he was lord and by his side was the lady of secret shadow.

Hey divas can we give the manwë is a doormat for melkor fanon a rest?

Like yeah maybe it wasnt a brain move to free the powerful & probably unstable valar without a strong parole into heaven,& mayyybe that decision was clouded with some brotherly sentiments

But i think sending bigass eagles to scar the dark lord,attack his twisted creations & aid his sworn enemies not once but several times should be enough of an indictment on what manwë felt towards melkor throughout the the story

Or the fact at the end manwe had melkor's legs cut off & thrown to the void & refused his demands for forgiveness,cuz by that time he had no illusions left on his brothers nature

I get manwë isnt that well liked in the fandom like melkor but cmon guys lets use the littlest of media comprehension & not act in fix it AU fics that manwe would have stayed a pushover for melkor or wouldve desired still his companionship
