Hello. You reblogged my post and now I get to ask questions about your maybe-not-dnd-anymore campaign!

This is a stupid question, and my knowledge of the greater legendarium is 1 (one) read through of The Silmarillion, but do elves just not have red hair anymore? Riros’s thing is that he looks like Maedhros, but at least in The Silmarillion, there’s a bunch of elves with red hair.

Did you invent that drama yourselves to have some fun character dynamics? Or is it like, canon, that every elf with red hair died with beleriand?

ALSKDHFHFHFJFNFNFNCFHFHFNGNGNF no at least as far as i am aware there is no canon that every elf in beleriand with red hair died?????? it is drama we invented ourselves For Fun maybe with the understanding that red is at least an uncommon enough hair color to be notable, even if it’s not unheard of, and also unfortunately the hair is NOT the only resemblance. like to be clear in terms of being Notably Tall and Having A Similar Face ríros is still very much winning in the maedhros lookalike department. he’s ALSO left-handed which like, doesn’t help, though maybe fortunately he does still have both hands.

he’s also like. not at all noldorin. he’s fucking silvan. he’s one of thranduil’s elves. like there are potentially some folks hanging around who have beef with the feanorians specifically. this REALLY doesn’t help.

but yes listen the entire thought was lmao what if there was an elf who just looked unfortunately like maedhros despite being maybe the least cursed person in the general vicinity and then it just sort of spiraled from there. blame @jaz-the-bard dhdhfhfndnd
