Day 2: Finrod for @arafinwean-week

Darkening and Flight of the Noldor｜oaths｜loyalty｜sacrifice

Aeglos: Aeglos was in west Beleriand, where Finrod was overlord. They are described as tall thorny plants similar to Tornblad, with sweet smelling white flowers growing on moorland.

Finished Nauglamír for my Elwing Cosplay!

All I have to do now is finish the dress!

[balrogballs]

Today’s @spring-into-arda B2MEM offering — first in a series of “children in conflict” sketches across the legendarium, this one featuring Baby Elwing in a refugee column outside Doriath with her little plaits and the Nauglamir necklace with the Silmaril (worn around her shoulders as it won’t fit her neck 🥲)

Team Idril | Prompt: “from the ashes…” | Game 1 | Bic ballpoint + green/red marker — funnily enough, first time drawing with a Bic and it was fun, if tricky…

Wanted to do something for the ides of March, so here, have a vague sketch of thingol getting stabbed by the dwarves

[dovesandmagpies]

The necklace is finished, this is my first attempt at making the Nauglamir, since making it I discovered it should actually be gold and probably have a few more stones. It is still very pretty though and I am very pleased with it.

Now, onto attempt no. 2.......

"Untitled Map of Beleriand" for @tolkienrsb 2024! Fanfic by @naryaflame coming soon!

This was my first time participating so I wanted to make something big. 4ft x 3ft (122cm x 91cm), canvas, watercolor, and fine point marker for the little pictures!

Nauglamir Tryptich

[fistfuloflightning]

Thingol sat long in silence, gazing upon the great treasure that lay upon his knees; and it came into his mind that it should be remade, and in it should be set the Silmaril. For as the years passed Thingol’s thought turned unceasingly to the jewel of Feanor, and became bound to it, and he liked not to let it rest even behind the doors of his inmost treasury, and he was minded now to bear it with him always, waking and sleeping.

Hot Take

Thingol didn't have a right to keep the Nauglamir, neither did Luthien or Dior or Elwig. That thing should have gone to Galadriel (who was probably in Menegroth when Hurin dropped it at Thingol's feet). Thingol had the horrible habit of coveting and keeping things that were not his to keep or desire (which ultimately caused his downfall) and many innocents died because of his greed.

After months of hard work and hand beading my Elwing costume is finally finnished! And I am extremely happy with her!

[anittmyer]

Why does Thingol feel entitled to the artifacts of the descendants of Finwe?? And honestly, for elves who were "very close friends", Thingol IMMEDIATELY seems to dislike the Noldor but especially the children and grandchildren of Finwe.

But essentially laying claim to not only the silmarils, but the Nauglamir, which was made for Finrod. Grandson of Finwe. I'm starting to think Thingol never really liked Finwe.

The silmarils were stolen after stolen, it's not like Feanor made the silamrils collateral for anything. So they still rightfully belong to his family. And the Nauglamir was taken from the ruins of Nargothrond, essentially robbing a grave, and given to Thingol who thought it was smart to put the silmaril ON Nauglamir. Like my elf brother in Eru... WhY!?!? And all to be given to Luthien? I don't dislike Luthien but uh... why we giving her essentially stolen Noldorin family artifacts??

. . . .

That was just a rant of lore I've been reading about and how I personally interpret what transpired. My interpretation probably won't match what others think. Again, this was my interpretation.

Day 25. Shining

My sweetheart baby Finrod wearing Nauglamír

The finished Nauglamir!

This took so long to make and I love it! It's a bit over the top but I don't care, it's so pretty!

It's not perfect, it falls forward at the front due to the weight of stone, but I think I can fix it once I get hold of some slightly smaller jump rings. But all in all its a very good attempt, definitely something I can imagine an elven king wearing
