Story: (short version, Ilë will get her own one shot as some point)

-Born into an important Vanyarin, Ilë's family moved to live under the rule of King Finwë shortly after her parents married. Ilë's early years were spent in close proximity to the children of Arafinwë and she struck up a friendship with his daughter Galadriel.

-As an adult she became a lay-in-waiting to Queen Indis and became an apprentice to Findis. Her craft was writing and during her time in Tirion Ilë wrote many books.

-She met Caranthir during a masked ball. They ended up striking up a relationship that evolved into a marriage. Unlike the rest of his brothers Caranthir lived away from the rest of their family. Choosing to stay out of politics the two lived a quiet life.

-When things got worse between Feanor and Fingolfin they were forced to return. When Feanor is exiled Ilë follows Caranthir into exhile despite her misgivings.

-During the rebellion of the Noldor Ilë follows Caranthir into Middle Earth and his holdfast.

-Ilë only leaves Caranthir when he orders her to stay with Celebrimbor in Nargothrond. From then on she stays in the household of Celebrimbor. She will eventually hear of Caranthir's death. -During the second age Ilë lives with Celebrimbor in Eregion and becomes reclusive. Shortly before the fall of Eregion Ilë is placed under the care of Elrond. When she hears of Celebrimbors death Ilë has a complete mental breakdown and does not recover in this life.

-The descendants of Elrond's brother look after her. As Numenor grows Ilë is well looked after. But soon the last king of Numenor usurps his cousin. While Ilë is kept alive she is imprisoned. When the sinking of Numenor happens Ilë watches the city being pulled under the waves. She closes her eyes and welcomes death.

-Ilë will spend some time in Mandos. She refuses to see her husband and is reborn a century before the events of The Hobbit. Once back in Valinor she lives with Nerdanel.

‘In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself.’    —The Silmarillion, ��Valaquenta”

There is the relatively common hc in the Silm fandom that weirdly erotic paintings of Celebrimbor’s death in the style of Italian renaissance painting of martyrs are made in Valinor.

I now propose to you the same kind of paintings but representing the death of Finduilas. Imagine the scene: a beautiful and innocent maiden, her dress torn and ash-stained by the cruelty of Orcs and the destruction of her realm, pinned to a tree by a lance right in her belly. Don’t tell me a horny, repressed painter in Tirion wouldn’t jump on the excuse to make this scene as erotic as possible.

The race of Teleri lived on the lonely island of Tol Eressëa, on the eastern shore of Aman, until they were finally drawn to the light of Valinor. The Ainu spirit Ossë was their friend, who at the behest of Ulmo taught the Teleri the craft of building ships to cross the waters into Valinor. Ossë would miss the friendship of his Teleri companions however, and as a parting gift sent many swans to pull their ships across the bay to reach the shores of Aman. In return for this kindness, the Teleri would always build their magnificent ships in the likeness of Ossë's swans.

Morgoth and his first dragons

My fiancé got me to watch the Lord of the Rings movies, and as a result I have been obsessed with the lore. Then I saw that video of squeaking baby crocodiles in a bath tub and went "I wonder if baby dragons sound like that?"
