"THEN TUOR LOOKED DOWN UPON THE FAIR VALE OF TUMLADEN, SET AS A GREEN JEWEL AMID THE ENCIRCLING HILLS..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a Tolkien Legendarium piece titled "Tuor Reaches the Hidden City of Gondolin," gouache on illustration board, artwork by Ted Nasmith. First appeared in the 1996 Tolkien Calendar, published by HarperCollins (it was the painting for June).

"Then Tuor looked down upon the fair vale of Tumladen, set as a green jewel amid the encircling hills; and he saw far off upon the rocky height of Amon Gwareth Gondolin the great, city of seven names, whose fame and glory is mightiest in song of all the dwellings of the Elves in the Hither Lands. At the bidding of Ecthelion trumpets were blown on the towers of the great gate, and they echoed in the hills; and far off but clear there came a sound of answering trumpets blown upon the white walls of the city, flushed with the rose of dawn upon the plain."

-- "THE SILMARILLION," Chapter 23 "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin," written by J.R.R. Tolkien, compiled & edited by Christopher Tolkien, published 1977

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

Hey, other Durge players, I'm curious: what class/es did you give your Durge and how do they tie into their backstory?

''im going to make a mage to romance the magekiller for drama'' i understand this and i love your mind buuuuut im not sure there's going to be any drama on that front? for the most part he's only been killing Venatori recently (who he very much dislikes cause they're p much shitty and evil) which are the ones he's been recieving contracts to kill most recently by an ''anonymus client'' (almost surely the inquisition, probably as a test of competency/character) although killing mages might be his specialty? He's done it enough to be able to sense magic in the air but what im saying is that he doesn't necessarily hate mages like brrr i want to kill em all kinda way

Y’all why has no one even mentioned the fact that if Sophie is unmatchable bc of her altered DNA, Keefe would be too?

Edit: y’all I know about the thing with her parents but it’s not guaranteed that knowing her parents would make her work in the system. My theory, which I hid in the tags (my mistake) is that it’s hard to match genetically compatible people when there are factors other than the parents determining what’s going on in their DNA. Like, for most people there isn’t external tampering so they just need to know who the parents are, but I think for Sophie and Keefe it’s different.
