The last three I only found out about a few days ago sooooo...

Reblogs would be greatly appreciated!!

Faniel was a Ñoldorin Elf that was the third daughter of Finwë and Indis in an apparently discarded concept of the legendarium.[1] She had two brothers, Fingolfin and Finarfin, two sisters, Findis and Finvain and a half-brother, Fëanor.[2]

Queen Indis has five children - Findiþ, Ñolofinwë, Lalwendë, Arafinwë, and Faniel. However, when having Faniel, she overestimates the amount of fëa to give for her fifth child. After all, she gives the same amount to every, and she only planned for three children. In lieu of the tragedy, King Finwë marries Míriel Þerindë, second queen of the Noldor. She bears two children, and all of Finwë's children grow to love Míriel as a mother. All except one. Ñolofinwë cannot accept his mother's passing.

trigger warnings: none

for best results, read on ao3!

When King Finwë's first son is born, all rejoice. He names him Ñolofinwë, and Queen Indis names him Arakáno. His sister, Calwanoþþë Findiþ, is hesitant, but soon she welcomes her younger brother. Little Prince Ñolofinwë is followed by Írimë Lalwendë, and then Arafinwë Ingoldo, but the queen finally passes from the stress of having her final child, Faniel Vaniþþë.

King Finwë weeps from her death, and poor Faniel is left with nursemaids only. However, the king finds a new object of his affections - Míriel Þerindë, whose tapestries are loved across Valinórë. Míriel is hesitant at first, but finds it within herself to love the king back. She is half-Teleri and half-Noldor, and although the Vanya think of it an insult, Lord Manwë, in infinite wisdom, grants the king another wife - and Indis is not eager to return.

And so Míriel Þerindë marries King Finwë, and becomes the Second Queen of the Noldor. Faniel is yet young, and takes to Míriel immediately, and so do the rest of King Finwë's children, eventually. Míriel grows to be great friends with Arafinwë and Írimë is only happy to sit next to her new stepmother, who is as brilliantly brutal as she. Calwanoþþë does not immediately take to Míriel, but she does accept her after Míriel makes it clear she does not want to replace Indis, and that she respects Calwanoþþë's want to be called Findiþ, her amileþþë, instead. Írimë, wanting to copy her elder sister, uses her amileþþë of Lalwendë, too.

But Ñolofinwë does not like Míriel. She is half-Teleri, one half too much, and she changes the palace too much for Ñolofinwë to stand. He does not prefer to be called Arakáno like his sister prefers Findiþ, but he does not like Míriel. Ñolofinwë does not have a craft, which sends whispers among the nobles, and he is all too bitter of his sibling's acceptance of Míriel. He believes himself the only true child of Queen Indis. As thus, he begins to reject the shift of the s to the þ.

And it becomes worse when Míriel has a son, Curufinwë Fëanáro, who is too hotheaded for his own good. Míriel adores her son, and gives him much of her fëa, but not too much. Queen Indis is a cautionary tale for all, and Míriel does not want more strife to decorate her fragile family.

Little Curufinwë, who rapidly decides he prefers his amileþþë of Fëanáro more, and none can disagree. His craft appears almost immediately, and his half-siblings dote on him, all except Ñolofinwë. Where his siblings call Fëanáro brother, he stretches distance by calling him half-brother. Fëanáro has no time for his brother who does not care, and prefers his other siblings, causing their distance to grow even wider.

But Prince Fëanáro is not immune to the whispers of the court, as Moringotto is now free from his chains. Ñolofinwë grows bitter as Fëanáro is considered by some to be the true first child of King Finwë. Ñolofinwë would do better - Fëanáro knows this - but Fëanáro is as himself as always, and tells all that he would prefer his eldest sibling, Calwanoþþë Findiþ, to be the heir, for she is the first child of King Finwë.

Most people accept this. The whispers grow quiet.

In the meantime, Ñolofinwë meets Lady Anairë, who is the classic Noldor beauty. Findiþ finds herself mooning over the minstrel Elemmírë but cannot bring herself to speak. Ñolofinwë and Anairë have one child, Findekáno, who will be followed by more.

Fëanáro finds his craft, and, as all are surprised by, manages to find another craft. He is the only to have two, linguistics and smithing, but the nobles take it as assurance that Fëanáro is the Noldoran prince they all wanted. He finds two masters, Rumil of Tirion and Mahtan Aulendur, and begins sending letters to Rumil as he works in the forges with Mahtan.

Arafinwë, on a trip to Alqualondë with his stepmother Míriel and sister Faniel, meets Eärwen, daughter of King Olwë. He finds himself in love immediately, and Eärwen likewise, and so Míriel convinces her husband that Arafinwë should be the official ambassador to King Olwë. Faniel misses her brother, but she has her other brothers and Findiþ besides.

Fëanáro meets Nerdanel Iþtarnië Mahtaniel while on a trip to find obscure dialects. He does not fall for her immediately, but Míriel sees the signs before anyone else.

And Findiþ, now by far of age, decides to leave to Valimar, to be ambassador to King Ingwë for there is no reason to have an heir. Although initially snubbed by King Finwë's marriage to Queen Míriel, he grows more fond of Míriel after hearing of Findiþ's love for her.

Faniel is lonely in the palace, though, with only Ñolofinwë for company. Míriel, however, sees this loneliness and manages to convince King Finwë that one more child will be fine, after all these years.

Míriel gives birth to a girl, Indilórë Tindallë, named by her father for her silver hair. Ñolofinwë grows ever bitter, but all of his siblings adore little Indilórë, as she has decided on in order to copy Findiþ and Fëanáro, even saying that she wants to be called Findilórë. No one follows this request, but she makes it anyway.

And in the summer, Arafinwë marries Eärwen. He is delighted to have his new baby sister, Indilórë, at his wedding, and his second nephew, Turukáno, along with Findekáno. He invites Findiþ, and Elemmírë, but still Findiþ is too shy to say anything to Elemmírë.

Soon, only two years after the wedding, Eärwen bears Findaráto, followed very soon after by Angaráto. Eärwen is Teleri and unused to giving children two names, and Arafinwë is half-Vanya anyway.

Fëanáro, meanwhile, invents Tengwar, and King Finwë, delighted, makes it the official alphabet of the Noldor immediately. Míriel is likewise delighted, and so is Lalwendë, for with Tengwar, she has found her craft - calligraphy. Arafinwë, with ease, convinces King Olwë to make Tengwar the offical alphabet of the Teleri, and King Ingwë, in a diplomatic show of goodwill towards the Noldor, follows.

Ñolofinwë grows jealous, and, now an adult, Fëanáro wants to mend the rift between them, for Nerdanel, his betrothed, has become a major influence on him.

Ñolofinwë has a third child, Írissë Araquendë, born in time for Ñolofinwë to miss Fëanáro's wedding to Nerdanel. But Fëanáro and Nerdanel love children and have their first child Maitimo Airamíro an almost scandalous amount of time later. He is soon followed by Makalaurë Kánamíro, and Ñolofinwë believes Fëanáro to be ridiculing him with giving Makalaurë - both children prefer their amileþþer - the atareþþë of Kánamíro, with the part of kána, which he has given to many of his children.

King Finwë is delighted by his many grandchildren, and Míriel likewise. She loves all of her children, even Ñolofinwë. Princess Írissë grows to love her stepgrandmother, which only serves to fuel Ñolofinwë's dislike. King Finwë is further delighted by Arafinwë's third child, Artareþto.

Not to be outdone, Fëanáro and Nerdanel have their third child Tyelkormo Turkamíro, and then their fourth Carniþtir Moryomíro. Ñolofinwë has his last child, Arakáno. Anairë decides, after that, that she will stand to have no more children. Makalaurë, meanwhile, grows strong with a voice incomparable, and Fëanáro soon sends him to his aunt Findiþ in Valimar to learn under the study of the legendary minstrel Elemmírë. Upon first glance, Elemmírë becomes as taken with Findiþ as Findiþ had been with her, but a distance remained between them.

Then Curumíro is born, who becomes the only one of Fëanáro's children to prefer his atareþþë, and he soon becomes known to be only slightly less adept at smithing than his father. Tyelkormo soon becomes an adept hunter, and Lord Oromë takes an interest in him. Míriel loves all her grandchildren and adores that Tyelkormo's hair matches hers.

Nerdanel loves all her children, and even though Fëanáro, who has since learned caution from his father and the story of Queen Indis, disagrees, he also wants more. Their next children come together, and Fëanáro, convinced that they should be the last - seven is a good number, after all - names the two children Pityafinwë and Telufinwë. Nerdanel, in contrast, names the oldest Ambarto - despite searching for another, more fitting name, that he perhaps would have in another world, she cannot grasp it - and the youngest Ambaruþþa, after naming both Ambaruþþa by mistake.

And then Crown Princess Findiþ marries Elemmírë on a bright spring day, and all rejoice, none more than little Princess Indilórë, who finds herself besotted with weddings and wants to go to every one. In this, Indilórë finds herself a craft of flowers, her amileþþë proving true.

And Princess Indilórë attends another wedding soon after, when Turukáno marries Elenwë. Turukáno has a large wedding, and although he will not tell who it is, Curumíro begins courting someone. Curumíro is not subtle, though, and soon the name of his love is found - Málintë Vórëawendë Þindecaliel.

Arafinwë has his third child Ambaráto Aikanáro, and his last child, Artaniþ Nerwen, soon after, and she has beautiful, treelight coloured hair. When out with his brothers, Fëanáro laments his lack of a daughter, but Arafinwë laughs it off.

Artareþto then marries Eldalótë, and Fëanáro beings work on his greatest achievement - the Þilmarils. He requests a hair from little Artaniþ, and since she has no qualms about her uncle in this world, she gives one freely. It does not help very much, but Fëanáro gifts Artaniþ fine jewelry back anyway.

And so Fëanáro makes the Þilmarils. They are beautiful, but when Lady Varda hallows them, Fëanáro is angry. Nerdanel, however, has never grown apart from her husband, and tells Fëanáro exactly what the Þilmarils have made him. Fëanáro, mollified, discusses what to do with the Þilmarils, and Nerdanel and him come to an agreement - in order to reconcile Ñolofinwë with the rest of his siblings, and connect him and the rest of Finwë's children together, Fëanáro will give Ñolofinwë one of the Þilmarils. Although in another world Fëanáro may not have, in this world Fëanáro has six siblings and only one of them deny it, and five of the others want all to be united.

And so Fëanáro goes to Ñolofinwë's birthday that year, and gifts him a Þilmaril. The other goes the Queen Míriel - as Fëanáro will always be his mother's son first - and the last goes to Nerdanel Iþtarnië Mahtaniel, his dear wife. King Finwë laughs at his son not giving him a Þilmaril, but he cannot deny that the silver-gold light makes Queen Míriel look positively radiant.

Ñolofinwë is mollified by this gift. Of all his siblings, Fëanáro gave a third of his greatest work to Ñolofinwë, and that means something.

And then Turukáno and Elenwë have Itarillë, and Curumíro marries his sweetheart Málintë.

But Moringotto is still free and is not pleased by Fëanáro's choices. He breaks into Fëanáro's forge while he is working, killing a visiting Arafinwë and Faniel, and their father Finwë in the process, and steals Fëanáro as Telperion and Laurelindë have their light stolen by Ungoliant.

And then the Valar ask for the Þilmarils. Queen Míriel considers the offer and turns it down. Although Moringotto has no Þilmarils, Queen Míriel can sense her son's soul in her Þilmaril and refuses to give it up. She advises Ñolofinwë and Nerdanel to refuse also, and not even Ñolofinwë wants his half-brother's fëa to be shattered.

And so it comes that Queen Míriel herself decides to attack Angamando. She is furious, a kind of fury only ever shown by mothers. Moringotto has stolen her son and killed her son and her daughter and her husband, and Míriel used to be a swordswoman. She will not back down.

And the Valar do not want the Noldor to leave. But Míriel cannot be stopped, and she and Eärwen, boiling for revenge at the death of her husband, are able to convince King Olwë to grant them his ships. King Olwë fears the Valar but loves his family more, and some Teleri even join Eärwen and Míriel's hosts.

Míriel gives the crown to now Queen Findiþ and her consort Elemmírë, and the Noldoran family is split. Maitimo stays, as he wanted to assist Queen Findiþ, and Makalaurë goes, ever in search of another song. Tyelkormo goes, eager to find new flora and fauna. Carniþtir goes, thinking of change and economical success. Curumíro goes, and so does Málintë, wanting to find new minerals. The Ambaruþþar, as they are known by now, do not. And for the children of Ñolofinwë, Ñolofinwë himself stays, but Findekáno takes most of the host, along with Turukáno, who does not want to go but Elenwë is eager, and Írissë, so only Arakáno stayed. Of the children of Arafinwë, all of them went, for many desired their own realms. And the remaining daughters of Finwë, excluding Findiþ, Lalwendë and Indilórë, Lalwendë goes, for she is determined that even if Beleriand is to be grim, Lalwendë wants to fight, and Indilórë, named for hope, goes, as she wants to bring joy.

And so Míriel and Eärwen and most of the royal family of the Noldor leave on the swan ships, but not before Queen Indis leaves the halls of Mandos. She and Queen Míriel respect each other as fellow queens, and Indis speaks to her children. Although Indis herself stays, she gives her every blessing to Queen Míriel, which allows Ñolofinwë to try more to accept his stepmother, and the majority of the host of the Noldor leave to Valariandë, promising to return the swan ships so the entirety of willing Noldor can leave.

As for Valariandë, that’s a tale for another day.

🦆 I am very interested in anything from your Helcaraxë or Elwing wips especially!

-@outofangband

🦆 asker's request (what do you want to see? from a specific wip, a specific mood, a specific ship or character...?)

From the "Fëanor takes the Helcaraxë" AU:

But Fëanáro is not blind. His half-brother follows his eldest son, and Findecáno will follow Maitimo.

And he knows the loyalty of the rest of his half-family. Lalwendë and will follow her full-brother, Turukáno and Angaráto and Aikanáro will follow Findecáno, Findaráto and Ar-Faniel will follow Turukáno, Arafinwë will follow Findaráto, Arakáno will follow his father, Artaresto will follow his grandfather, Itarillë and Telperinquar are yet carried by their fathers, Artanis will follow him and pretend she makes her own path.

So really, he just needs to make sure Findecáno is happy.

His own sons will follow him to the ends of Eä. They have no choice now. It is so sworn.

And for Elwing, from So small a thing:

But he sees: The little lift of the right side of her lip when she thinks of his father, the twitch just under her left eye when she’s holding back tears. Not that she’s been doing much holding back, not now. Not as she once did around him and Elros, hoping futilely that they, for at least a little longer, could be spared the knowledge of her grief. But the pile of handkerchiefs on the table is starting to get a little silly.

gilded song, hollow promise

After arriving in Valinor, Míriel feels aimless. Weaving does not make much money, and she cannot find a purpose. So she starts by healing in the palace, and becomes Queen Indis's birthing healer. It all begins to go awry when, only hours after Indis's youngest child Faniel is born, she passes into the Halls of Mandos, and Finwë is three days away. To save the child, Míriel forms a parental bond with her.

trigger warnings: none

for best results (and notes!), read on ao3!

After her family and the rest of the Nelyar her mother's kin arrived to Valinórë, Míriel was aimless for a while. She helped her sister Méliel and law-sister Lónissë in assisting Rúmil in his specialization, but Míriel has nothing to do.

She weaves, for a while. But unlike in a world where she could have made it so, weaving is not a great art of the Eldar - it is only used in clothing, which Míriel dislikes making. And so Míriel has nothing, really, to do.

Except become a healer. Míriel was a healer in Cuiviénen, when she could spare her weaving of the necessary clothing. She enjoyed it, undoubtedly, as a thing she'd do when times grew hard.

(She had been a warrior, too, and a formidable one, but in Cuiviénen, they did not need another warrior, no matter how good Míriel was. They needed a healer.)

But Míriel was also a good healer. And times were sparse, with children being born as Valinórë's health set in, and so Míriel found herself healing.

That is also how Míriel found herself as the palace healer. Queen Indis, having her second child, needed a new healer, and she recognizd Míriel from Cuiviénen.

"Us Cuiviénen elves must stick together," she told Míriel, and hired her on the spot.

And so Míriel delivered Ñolofinwë, then Írimë, then Arafinwë. She served as primarily the palace's birthing healer, but she also served all who came to the palace in need of one.

Which is how, when she served Queen Indis for the final time for the birth of her newest daughter, she knew something was wrong. Each pregnancy had taken more out of the queen, and although Míriel worried, it was not her place to tell the queen to change something, and so, as a commoner, she said nothing.

(Míriel also developed a silent, steady dislike of the king. He had attended, of the four children of Queen Indis she had delivered, only Ñolofinwë's birth. Míriel also saw his favouritism, and for all it grated on Queen Indis, she could not deny that the queen also chose her own favourites - notably, Calwanossë. Míriel wanted children, wanted children so much, and she vowed she'd never treat her children like that. Míriel also pledged that she would give her hypothetical children better names.)

But Míriel was experienced, and as soon as she delivered Vanissë - as the queen named her immediately - Queen Indis was feeling weak.

She slept, with her eyes closed. Míriel went into panic mode.

Six hours later, the queen woke up. She headed towards the Gardens of Estë, carried by the Maia Sendallë, and said none would attend her. She had yet to even form a bond with Vanissë.

Queen Indis did not come back, and Míriel heard of it eight hours later by message of the Maia Sendallë, that the queen would sleep and wake up perhaps yéni later.

Finwë was away, in Taniquetil, in Valimar, something of that.

Míriel looked at the baby she was holding in her arms and feeding cow milk. She turned to her dear friend, a co-healer by the name of Mélatirmë.

"I will form an emergency bond with the child," she told Mélatirmë. "It is necessary. Taniquetil is three days away by the fastest horse in Valinórë. If not given a bond, Vanissë will die."

Mélatirmë only nodded. "Do as you must."

And so Míriel formed a bond with little Vanissë, and suddenly, she had a child she needed to support, needed to love.

Three hours later, Míriel still holding Vanissë, she allowed the queen's other children to meet their new sister and gave them the news wishing her voice didn't tremble.

(She didn't speak of the parental bond with Vanissë. They didn't need to know that burden.)

Ñolofinwë was angry, Calwanossë complating. Arafinwë was too young to care, and Írimë... nodded, like she didn't care.

(Míriel realized Írimë had already realized her mother preferred Calwanossë and her father Ñolofinwë.)

Three days later, Finwë arrived. He demanded to see his daughter and wife immediately, for he had only heard something had gone wrong with the birth.

Míriel was escorted to see him, carrying Vanissë along the way.

"Your wife sleeps forevermore - or for yéni - in the Gardens of Estë. According to the Maia Sendallë, Queen Indis will not wake for many yéni, at the very least. This is your daughter, whom your wife named Vanissë. I have formed a parental bond with her to ensure her survival, but otherwise, you will not see me around, as I may have to quit the palace as a birthing healer."

Finwë left immediately, not acknowledging Míriel. She finds out later he goes straight to the queen's old rooms; Míriel does not think anyone sees him again for months, only hears that the others have taken to leaving food outside his door, knocking thrice, and saying "Food is ready, my king", and the food will be gone by morn.

But on the bright side, her new position as the nursemaid of Vanissë - the poor girl has not even an ataressë, they are using Finwiel - comes with many benefits, most of all Vanissë herself. She is a delightful child, and even though Míriel knows it cannot last, she enjoys the feeling of raising a child. She loves Vanissë, for how foolish and futile it is.

(Méliel warns her; as sisters, twins nonetheless, they have always been close, and Méliel fears. But Míriel does not. That is where they differ: Méliel knows when she has lost the game, and Míriel will always keep fighting until she has won. Lónissë worries too, Míriel has known her since Cuiviénen, and, after Méliel and Míriel's parents died during the Great Journey, they only really have each other and Lónissë.)

In those months, though, Míriel's work takes off. Suddenly, she's recieving commissions from even High King Ingwë, and Finwë has still not formed a parental bond with Vanissë. If she leaves her job, Vanissë will die, and she is a child. Míriel will never allow it.

(She also gains the epessë of Serindë.)

Finwë holds Vanissë's naming ceremony a month after he finally leaves the queen's chambers, a bonds with her the night before.

Faniel, he calls her. A terrible name. Míriel wants to yell at him for it, but he is her king. To name her for the hröa of the ainur is either disrespect at a high degree to the ainur, or an ill-thought and foolish name.

Míriel does not speak of her anger on Vanissë's behalf. Even Vanissë is a terrible name. If she had to name the girl, golden locks like amber caught in sunlight, fading to a deep, dark black, eyes a green-gray, she would call her Helyanwissë, rainbow, or something suitably fantastical. Rilyalaurë, Quilëlillë.

And so Míriel continues to take care of Vanissë, continues weaving, until one day, the king calls her to his office.

"I have never thanked you," he tells her, "for keeping my daughter Faniel Aranel alive."

"I only did what any other would," Míriel says, bowing deep. "Finwë Noldóran, aranya, none would let a child die."

"Perhaps," the king says, "but you of all chose to take the burden. And for that, I have a deal, that could be a reward. If you choose not to take it, I will devise an alternate reward."

Míriel squints her eyes slightly. "Let I hear of the deal."

"Marry me."

"Excuse me, my king?"

"My children need a mother, and Indis - according to Námo - has declared that in all of her years yet she will not come back, until centuries have passed. Of my children, only Calwanossë has aged beyond her majority. Írimë Aranel, Arafinwë Cundu, and Faniel Aranel especially need a mother."

"I see."

"You will gain the power of a queen, and all the riches and luxury you can imagine. Your sister, her wife, and your nephew will also be sent monthly payments and raised to nobility."

Míriel pauses. "I want power. Give me authority, an actual position in court that is not just a silent support at your side."

Finwë raises an eye. "Unconventional, but it can be done."

"It will become the convention, husband."

"Very well."

Final number: 207

Bonus internet points will be awarded to anyone who actually tries this exercise before voting.

Assume you need to get the spelling at least somewhat close, and if a character has multiple names, only one counts. Also, if a character doesn't have a canonical name, I'm sorry, but "that guy's wife" doesn't count.

For reference, if you can name the 9 members of the Fellowship, the eponymous Hobbit and his 13 dwarf buddies, 3 prominent women, and the guy who runs the Rivendell B&B, that's 27 characters right there. And you probably also know the name of a dragon.

For further reference, Tolkien Gateway has 637 (!!) pages dedicated to Third Age characters. (Don't click that link until you've voted, of course)

Edit: Your humble pollmaker gave this a try, and got as far as 73 before deciding she was too tired to keep trying to remember dwarf and Silm names. If you also want to share (and don't mind people being incredulous at your having forgot ____), pastebin allows you to paste text and share it for free. :)
