"Echoes of Destiny: Aetheria's Journey"

In the mystical land of Aetheria, Lyra, a young and skilled archer, embarked on an adventure to find her long-lost sister, Aria. The bond she shared with her family had always been her strength, but their separation had left her heartbroken. As Lyra traversed the enchanting forests and towering mountains of Aetheria, she encountered a mysterious man named Kael. He was captivated by her beauty and skill, and they soon formed an unbreakable bond. Together, they explored the depths of Aetheria's secrets, their romance blooming as they overcame challenges and faced perilous threats. However, their happiness was short-lived, for the cunning villain, Thalion, had been released from his prison. He sought to control Aetheria by harnessing the power of ancient relics and exploiting the people's fears. As Thalion's evil plans unfolded, Lyra and Kael knew they must join forces with their family and friends to save their beloved world. In this battle of good versus evil, Lyra found herself face to face with her long-lost sister, Aria, who had been under the influence of Thalion's dark magic. With love and determination, they fought together against Thalion, determined to protect Aetheria and restore harmony. As the golden sun began to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, Lyra stood atop a hill overlooking the sprawling city of Aetheria. She had been searching for her long-lost sister, Aria, for what felt like an eternity. Little did she know that her journey was about to take a dramatic turn. Looking out at the city below, Lyra spotted a figure in the distance, a stranger with eyes as blue as the midday sky. Intrigued, she decided to approach him. As they drew closer, their eyes met and something inexplicable happened. A connection, a bond was formed, and it seemed as if they had known each other for lifetimes. His name was Kael, a skilled warrior with a heart full of kindness and courage. Together, Lyra and Kael set out on their quest to find Aria, delving into the depths of the mystical world of Aetheria. Along the way, they discovered ancient ruins, met magical creatures, and solved riddles that had confounded scholars for centuries. As they journeyed together, their love blossomed, and they became inseparable. However, their happiness was short-lived. The villainous Thalion, seeking control over Aetheria, had been released from his prison by a fearful citizen. Armed with ancient relics and the ability to manipulate people's fears, he began to wreak havoc on the once peaceful land. Determined to save their world, Lyra and Kael joined forces with a group of unlikely allies. Together, they embarked on a daring quest to confront Thalion, free Aria from his dark magic, and ultimately restore harmony to Aetheria. The stakes had never been higher, but Lyra knew that with Kael by her side, they would conquer any challenge that came their way. "Let's go," she whispered, her eyes filled with determination. "We have a world to save." Lyra sprinted through the vibrant forest, her heart pounding with excitement and anticipation. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and she could hear the soothing melody of birds singing in harmony. She had finally returned to Aetheria after years of being separated from her sister, Aria. As she wandered deeper into the forest, a tall figure emerged from the shadows. "Lyra?" The stranger called out, his voice tinged with recognition and surprise. "I am Kael, a traveler passing through these parts. I've heard tales of your search for your long-lost sister, Aria." Lyra paused, taken aback by the familiar name. "You know her?" she asked cautiously. "Yes," Kael replied, his eyes filled with sorrow. "We grew up together in the same village before I left to explore the world. She was always kind and brave, much like you." Lyra felt a pang of guilt for having forgotten about Aria all these years, but she couldn't let it dampen her spirits. "We must find her," she declared, determination shining in her eyes. "Together, we can reunite our family and bring happiness back to our lives." Kael nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling with hope. As they ventured further into the enchanting forest, they couldn't help but feel the pull of destiny, drawing them closer to their goals and each other. Lyra stood at the edge of the dense forest, gazing into the distance as she recalled the tales her mother used to tell her. "In Aetheria," her mother would say, "magic flows like water and time is but an illusion." The moment she stepped foot in this mystical land, she knew it was true. As Lyra walked further into the forest, she stumbled upon a figure sitting by a fire. The stranger's eyes sparkled under the moonlight, and for a moment, she felt a connection as if they had met before. "I am Kael," he introduced himself, his voice warm like honey. "I've been searching for Aria too." "Aria?" Lyra's heart raced. "My long-lost sister? Is she here in Aetheria?" Kael nodded. "Yes. She is the last of our family, and she holds the key to our destiny." Together, they set off on a journey to find Aria, their hearts entwined with hope and purpose. They faced treacherous mountains, enchanted forests, and even the wrath of the sea. Along the way, they discovered that they were not alone in their quest. Other families had been searching for their lost ones, their lives intertwined with the fate of Aetheria. As they drew closer to Aria, Lyra felt a sense of destiny pulling her and Kael together. Their love blossomed amidst the challenges they faced, strengthening their resolve to save their family and their world.

One day, as they rested near a babbling brook, Lyra spotted a small creature hiding in the bushes. "Kael," she whispered, pointing at the creature. "What do you think it is?" Kael squinted his eyes and approached cautiously. As he got closer, he recognized the magical creature as a pixie. "It's a pixie!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"I want you to know," Kael whispered, his voice barely audible over the gentle rustling of leaves, "that I would do anything for you, Lyra." She smiled softly, her eyes filled with love and gratitude. "And I you, Kael," she replied. "Together, we can face any adversary." Little did they know that their reunion would be short-lived, as the ancient villain Thalion escaped his prison, determined to control Aetheria using people's fears and the power of the ancient relics. Lyra and Kael, united by love and a shared destiny, would soon find themselves at the heart of the battle to save their world and restore harmony once again. Lyra glanced around nervously, her heart pounding in her chest. The ancient ruins of Aetheria's capital lay before her, shrouded in mystery and danger. She knew she was close to finding her sister, but the stakes had never been higher. As she ventured deeper into the ruins, Lyra stumbled upon a man standing atop a crumbled statue. His eyes met hers, and an electric current seemed to pass between them. He introduced himself as Kael, another searcher of Aria. "I've been looking for her too," he said, his voice tinged with urgency. Together, Lyra and Kael began their journey, their steps echoing through the hollow halls of the capital. As they traveled, they faced various challenges - treacherous terrain, magical beasts, and enchanted traps that tested their wits and bravery. But with each obstacle overcome, their bond grew stronger. "We must find Aria before Thalion does," Lyra declared, her determination unwavering. Kael nodded in agreement, his gaze steady. "We'll need the help of our families and allies if we hope to save Aetheria from this ancient villain." And so, they continued their quest, their love blossoming amidst the trials they faced. As they journeyed deeper into the heart of Aetheria, they encountered magical creatures who either helped or hindered them in their pursuit for Aria. In a thrilling confrontation with Thalion, Lyra and Kael fought valiantly to defend Aetheria from the ancient villain, ultimately defeating him with the power of their love for one another. Reunited with their families, Lyra and Kael celebrated the restored harmony in Aetheria. Their bonds grew stronger, forged through adversity and fueled by love. And so, the adventure continued - a testament to the indomitable spirit of family and the unyielding power of love. Lyra stood atop a hill, gazing out over the vast landscape of Aetheria. The wind whispered through her hair as she searched for any sign of her long-lost sister, Aria. In the distance, she spotted a figure approaching. As he drew closer, she realized it was Kael, another adventurer searching for his missing sibling. "Hello," said Lyra cautiously, her heart pounding with both excitement and trepidation. "I'm looking for my sister, Aria." Kael nodded, understanding the sentiment all too well. "I'm doing the same. Perhaps we could join forces?" Lyra hesitated but eventually agreed. Together, they set off on a journey filled with trials and challenges. As they ventured deeper into Aetheria, their bond grew stronger, as did their love for one another. "We must be cautious," Kael whispered as they navigated a treacherous mountain pass. "Thalion's influence has spread far and wide." "I won't let him win," Lyra vowed, her determination hardening like steel. As their love blossomed, so too did their resolve. They met magical creatures who either helped or hindered them in their quest for Aria. Eventually, they found themselves in a thrilling confrontation with Thalion himself. "You've made quite the mess of things, haven't you, Thalion?" Lyra taunted, standing bravely beside Kael. The ancient villain sneered, "I have merely revealed the chaos that lies within all of you." But it was their love for one another that ultimately defeated him. With newfound strength and unity, Lyra and Kael vanquished Thalion, restoring harmony to Aetheria. Their families were reunited, and their bonds grew even stronger as they celebrated the return of peace to their beloved land. Lyra paced nervously in her small, dimly lit room. The weight of her mission weighed heavily on her shoulders. She had heard whispers of her sister Aria, believed to be lost in the enchanting land of Aetheria. Determined to find her, she embarked on a perilous journey. One day, while traversing through a dense forest, Lyra encountered a mysterious stranger who shared her quest for Aria. His name was Kael, and he too had been searching for his long-lost sister. Their paths intertwined, and an undeniable connection sparked between them. As they journeyed together, the bond of friendship blossomed into love. However, their happiness was short-lived. The cunning villain Thalion had escaped his prison and sought control over Aetheria using ancient relics and people's fears. Lyra and Kael, along with their newfound allies, realized they must join forces to save their world from the clutches of this ancient foe. Throughout their adventure, Lyra and Kael faced numerous challenges that tested their love and determination. They encountered magical creatures who either helped or hindered them in their quest for Aria. As they journeyed deeper into the heart of Aetheria, their love for one another only grew stronger. In a thrilling confrontation with Thalion, Lyra and Kael fought valiantly to defend Aetheria from the ancient villain. With the power of their love for each other, they ultimately defeated him, restoring harmony to their world. They were reunited with their families, and their bonds grew even stronger as they celebrated the restored peace in Aetheria. And so, Lyra and Kael's love story became a beacon of hope in Aetheria, proving that even in the face of darkness, love could conquer all. In the enchanting land of Aetheria, Lyra and Kael found themselves faced with an unexpected challenge. The villain Thalion, long thought vanquished, had escaped his prison and was bent on controlling Aetheria using ancient relics and manipulating people's fears. Lyra and Kael, united by their love for one another and their shared quest to find Lyra's long-lost sister Aria, vowed to put an end to Thalion's evil schemes. As they journeyed deeper into the heart of Aetheria, they encountered various challenges that tested their love and determination. They met magical creatures, some who offered assistance, while others stood in their way. In one such encounter, Lyra and Kael found themselves facing a pack of fearsome wolves guarding a mysterious cave. Lyra: "Kael, do you think we can reason with them? Maybe we can find another way through the forest?" Kael: "Perhaps, but we must try to communicate first. After all, they may be as lost and frightened as we are." To their surprise, the wolves listened attentively as Kael spoke of the danger that Thalion posed to Aetheria and its inhabitants. Moved by his words, the wolves agreed to help Lyra and Kael find a safe passage through the forest. Kael: "See? Sometimes even the most fearsome creatures can be reasoned with." Lyra: "True, but we must always remember that there's more to others than meets the eye." Together with their new allies, Lyra and Kael continued their journey. They faced many trials, but their love for one another grew stronger with each challenge they overcame. Finally, they confronted Thalion in a thrilling battle. Lyra: "We've come too far to let you ruin everything, Thalion!" Thalion: "Ah, Lyra and Kael, I should have known you'd interfere. You won't stand a chance against me." Kael: "That may be true, but we have each other, and that's all we need." With the power of their love for one another, Lyra and Kael defeated Thalion and sealed him away once more. They were reunited with their families, celebrating the restored harmony in Aetheria. As the sun set over the horizon, they knew their adventure was far from over, but their hearts were filled with love and hope for the future of Aetheria. In the enchanting land of Aetheria, Lyra had embarked on a journey to find her long-lost sister Aria. With each step taken, she felt the weight of responsibility for the fate of their family and their magical world. The winds whispered secrets, the trees offered guidance, and the rivers carried tales of ancient wisdom. Late one evening, Lyra stumbled upon a mysterious figure named Kael, who was also searching for Aria. Their eyes met, and in that moment, they knew they were destined to be together. United by their shared quest, they formed an unbreakable bond as they ventured deeper into the heart of Aetheria. "Kael, I promise we will find Aria," Lyra whispered, her voice filled with determination. "And together, we'll bring peace back to our world." As they journeyed further, they encountered magical creatures that either aided or hindered their progress. In the depths of an ancient forest, they stumbled upon a hidden village where Aria had been taken captive. Their joy was short-lived, however, as they discovered Thalion, a cunning villain who sought control over Aetheria using ancient relics and people's fears. "Thalion, you can't win!" Lyra cried out, her voice echoing through the village square. "We're stronger together than apart." The battle was fierce, with Thalion summoning his dark magic and unleashing monstrous creatures to stand against them. But in their love for one another, Lyra and Kael found a strength they never knew they possessed. Together, they defeated Thalion, shattering the darkness that had enveloped Aetheria. As families were reunited and allies celebrated their victory, Lyra and Kael vowed to protect Aetheria together. Their love would be a beacon of hope in the enchanting land, ensuring that harmony and peace reigned forevermore. In the mystical land of Aetheria, Lyra's search for her long-lost sister, Aria, led her through enchanted forests and across majestic mountains. One day, she encountered Kael, another traveler who had also been searching for Aria. Their paths aligned by fate, they decided to join forces, sharing their stories and forming a deep bond as they journeyed together. ``` Lyra: "Kael, do you have any idea where Aria might be?" Kael: "I've heard whispers of her in the heart of the Enchanted Forest, but no one has seen her for years." As they ventured deeper into the forest, they overcame numerous obstacles and encountered magical creatures that tested their courage and determination. Some offered aid, while others stood as formidable foes. Through it all, their love for each other blossomed, strengthening them against adversity. ``` Lyra: "Kael, I can't believe how far we've come. Our love has brought us this far." Kael: "Together, we are unstoppable. Let's continue our journey to reunite our families and save Aetheria." Finally, they reached the ancient villain Thalion, who had been released from his prison by the mysterious relics that controlled people's fears. Determined to conquer Aetheria, he sought power over its inhabitants. With their love as their guiding force, Lyra and Kael fought valiantly against Thalion in a thrilling battle. ``` Thalion: "You may have the power of love, but I possess the strength of fear!" Lyra: "Our love is far stronger than any force you could conjure." Kael: "Together, we will defeat you and restore harmony to Aetheria." After a fierce confrontation, Lyra and Kael emerged victorious. Their love had vanquished Thalion, and in the aftermath of their triumph, they were reunited with their families. Together, they celebrated the restored harmony across Aetheria. As they journeyed deeper into Aetheria, Lyra and Kael found themselves facing various challenges that tested their love and determination. They encountered magical creatures, some who offered assistance and others who posed obstacles in their path. In one such encounter, they met a wise old owl named Ollis, who provided them with valuable information about Thalion's lair. "Ollis," Lyra addressed the ancient owl, "we must find Aria and stop Thalion from taking control of Aetheria. Can you help us?" "I can give you a clue about Thalion's hideout," Ollis replied, his eyes twinkling with wisdom. "At the heart of the enchanted forest lies an ancient tree known as the Whispering Willow. It holds the key to finding him." With newfound hope, Lyra and Kael set off towards the Whispering Willow. Along the way, they encountered a fearsome griffin, whose sharp claws threatened their every step. However, using their combined skills and determination, they managed to outsmart the creature and continued their journey. As they approached the Whispering Willow, the air grew thick with anticipation. Kael climbed the ancient tree, plucking a golden leaf that shimmered in his hand. The leaf revealed Thalion's lair, located deep within a hidden cavern. With this information, Lyra and Kael knew their time to confront Thalion was near. Inside the cavern, they faced off against Thalion and his minions. A fierce battle ensued, with both sides employing powerful spells and unmatched courage. Just as Thalion seemed to gain the upper hand, Lyra and Kael remembered the power of their love for one another. They embraced, channeling their affection into a single, blindingly bright ray of light that vanquished Thalion once and for all. With Thalion defeated, harmony was restored to Aetheria. The people rejoiced as families were reunited, celebrating the love and determination of Lyra and Kael. And so, in the enchanting land of Aetheria, two souls found their destiny, overcoming great odds to save their world and forging a bond that would last an eternity. In the heart of the cavern, Lyra, Kael, and Aria stood ready to face their greatest challenge yet. The air was thick with anticipation as they prepared for the battle against Thalion. "Are you sure about this?" Aria asked, her voice trembling. "We could still turn back." Lyra smiled reassuringly at her sister. "No, we've come too far to give up now. We have each other and our love for Aetheria. That's all we need." With that, they charged into the darkness, their hearts pounding with determination. As they reached Thalion's lair, a fierce battle ensued. The siblings fought alongside Kael, their connection to one another growing stronger with every swing of their weapons. In the end, it was their love for each other that defeated Thalion. His once-impenetrable defenses crumbled under the weight of their combined emotions. As they stood victorious over the fallen villain, the siblings embraced, tears of joy streaming down their faces. "We did it," Aria whispered, her voice barely audible above the sounds of their allies cheering and celebrating in the distance. Lyra nodded, her eyes shining with pride. "We did. Together." And so, Lyra, Kael, Aria, and their families returned to the village, where they were greeted with cheers and laughter. The harmony of Aetheria had been restored, and the bonds between its people were stronger than ever. In the end, it was love that saved Aetheria, a testament to the power of unity and family.

Heute fragt @socialmediafuerautorinnen im Rahmen der #autorinnenchallenge wie lange ich schon schreibe. Und die Frage ist gar nicht so einfach zu beantworten, denn lesen und schreiben lernen liegt weitab meiner Erinnerung. Das geschriebene Wort hat mich schon immer fasziniert, also habe ich mir die passende Techniken wohl im Laufe des ersten Jahres im Kindergarten zugelegt. Die ersten Geschichten, an die ich mich erinnern kann, waren die Abenteuer meiner Meerschweinchen auf Weltreise und fiktive Biografien für ebenso fiktive Pferde, irgendwann in der zweiten oder dritten Klasse. Fragmente der Texte habe ich sogar noch 😅 Als ich neun oder zehn war, habe ich dann das Spiel "Lionheart" auf einem Flohmarkt gefunden. Das Spiel ist bockschwer und da Jump'n'Run ohnehin nie mein Genre waren, habe ich darin auf ganzer Linie versagt. Aber es hatte eine großartige Vorgeschichte im Handbuch, geschrieben von @jurihornemann die mich sehr inspiriert hat. Von da an habe ich das folgende Jahrzehnt einer Geschichte gewidmet, die als Fanfiction angefangen hat und mittlerweile in ein Fantasy-Großprojekt gewachsen ist. Zusammen mit mehreren Lehrern, die mich zum Schreiben ermutigt haben, war das wohl der Grundstein. Dank geht auch an alle alten Mitschüler, die der Meinung waren, meine Ideen wären spannend. Ich habe sonst für wenig Dinge Zuspruch bekommen 😊 #autorenaufinstagram #autorenauffacebook #schreiben #bücher #buch #lionheart #thalion #gaming #fanfiction #fantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCj2MwMvGg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Can we get Faeron's reaction to you kissing him Platonically and the reaction of the future friend to marry Thalion?

Faeron my dearest, mellon nin - he would not ever allow it.

I might need to sneak up on him - every inch of him would freeze and he wouldn't know how to react. Quite probably avoid me for a few days and mutter incoherent phrases at me.

Thalion beloved Aerdis has been revealed by @aeonianarchives and he isn't happy - even if I admitted I would marry Thalion for his wine.

Aerdis wants both Thalion and the wine - not quite fair if you ask. Am currently, trying to settle for half of the wine - but I have feeling I will not succeed.

Probably one of the Devil's greatest lies is the image of hope as something fleeting and ephemeral. It ties into the lie that you have to effortlessly feel something for that feeling to be real. Just because I don't feel like there's gravity, or just because I can't see the movement of the floor as the world whirls endlessly through space, doesn't mean that those things aren't there, and the same can be said for things like hope.

Hope isn't just some flighty butterfly, something fragile and wispy. Hope is the woman praying daily at her husband's side in the hospital, waiting for him to wake and wondering if he'll remember her after his head injury.

Hope is the sailor clinging to the helm in the teeth of a gale, riding it out because he hopes and knows that the storm cannot last forever.

Hope is Samwise storming the tower of Cirith Ungol, not knowing whether he can truly overcome the orcs in the tower, but hoping that he can help his Master Frodo in some way at least.

Hope is the last stand of Húrin the Steadfast: holding the gap against the forces of Morgoth in Nirnaeth Arnoediad, the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, swinging his axe as he and his kinsmen fight to the death to protect the retreat of Turgon and the elves of Gondolin, shouting with each swing, "Aurë entuluva! Day shall come again!"

Hope is not something fleeting, something ephemeral. It can become such, because like any other emotion or feeling, it needs cultivation. But if you cling to it, if you hold it tight, then it will grow. If you let it, hope is a fighter, a shieldwarden, a warrior. Hope is not simple platitudes, but a knowledge that whatever things might feel like, the truth of the matter is different—no matter how hopeless things seem, things will not stay that way.

Another Tolkien rant before I (finally!!) go back to BG3:

By and large, heredity and ethnicity in Tolkien cannot be understood through blood quantum logic. I don't think this is even seriously debatable, really—it does not work.

Yes, Imrahil of Dol Amroth is many generations removed from his nearest Elvish ancestor. Yes, he's still visibly part-Silvan to someone like Legolas, and is Silvan-style pretty to everyone else, and his sister was mystically susceptible to Mordor's miasma and died of sea-longing.

Yes, Théoden has as much Númenórean ancestry as Eldacar, a literal Númenórean King of Gondor, and has the same Elvish ancestor as Imrahil. No, Théoden is not a Dúnadan and does not inherit Silvan features. Tolkien specifically contrasted the visible Silvan Elvish heritage of Imrahil and his nephews Boromir and Faramir with Théoden and Éomer's lack of them, though in some versions, Éomer inherited remarkable height from his Númenórean ancestry (but not specifically Elvish qualities like beardlessness).

The only known member of the House of Eorl to markedly inherit the distinctive Elvish appearance of the House of Dol Amroth is Elfwinë, son of Imrahil's daughter Lothíriel as well as of Éomer, and Elfwinë's appearance is attributed firmly to Lothíriel-Imrahil rather than Théodwyn-Morwen.

Aragorn and Denethor are descendants of Elendil removed by dozens of generations, and Elendil himself was many generations removed from Elros. Aragorn and Denethor's common heritage and special status results in a strong resemblance and kinship between these incredibly distant cousins, including innate beardlessness and various powers inherited from Lúthien, and a connection to the Maiar presumably derived from Lúthien's mother Melian (great-great-grandmother of their very distant ancestor Elros).

Galadriel has one Noldo grandparent (half as much Noldorin heritage as Théoden has Númenórean). She has ties to her Telerin and Vanyarin kin and inherits some of their traits (most notably her silvery-gold hair), but she is very fundamentally a Noldo.

Túrin Turambar is a member—and indeed, heir—of the House of Hador via patrilineality. However, he's strongly coded as Bëorian in every other way because of his powerful resemblance to his very Bëorian mother, while his sister Niënor is the reverse, identified strongly with Hadorian women and linked to their father, whom she never met.

Elrond and Elros have more Elvish heritage than anything else, but are defined as half-Elves regardless of choosing mortality or immortality. In The Nature of Middle-earth, Tolkien casually drops the bombshell that Elros's children with his presumably mortal partner also received a choice of mortality vs immortality (and then in true Tolkien style, breezed onto other, less interesting points). Elrond and his sons with fully Elvish Celebrían are referred to as Númenóreans as well as Elves, with Elladan and Elrohir scrupulously excluded from being classed as Elves on multiple occasions. Their sister Arwen, meanwhile, is a half-Elf regardless of how much literal mortal heritage she has but also is identified with the Eldar in a way they never are.

There's a letter that Tolkien received in which a fan asks how Aragorn, a descendant of Fíriel of Gondor, could be considered of pure Númenórean ancestry when Fíriel was a descendant of Eldacar, the "impure" king whose maternal heritage kicked off the Kinstrife. Tolkien's response is essentially a polite eyeroll (and understandably for sure), but it's not like ancestry that remote (or far more so) doesn't regularly linger.

The point, I guess, is that there's no hard and fast rule here that determines "real" ethnicity in Middle-earth or who inherits what narrative identification. It's clearly not dependent on purebloodedness (gross rhetoric anyway, but also can't be reconciled with ... like, anything we see). It's not based on upbringing or culture alone. Túrin and Niënor, for instance, are powerfully identified with the Edain narratively despite their upbringings. Their double cousin Tuor, however, is a more ambiguous figure in terms of the Elves, whom he loves and lives among and possibly even joins in immortality—yet Tuor's half-Elf son Eärendil, whose cultural background is overwhelmingly Elvish, is naturally aligned with Men and only chooses immortality for his wife's sake.

Elladan and Elrohir, as mentioned above, are sons of an Elf, Celebrían, and of Elrond, a half-Elf who chose immortality and established a largely Elvish community at Rivendell. But the twins have a centuries-long affinity with their mortal Dúnadan kin and delay choosing a kindred to be counted among long after Arwen's choice.

Patrilineal heritages are more often than not given priority, which has nothing to do with how much of X blood someone has, only which side it comes from. Queen Morwen's children and descendants are emphatically Rohirrim who don't ping Legolas's Elvishness radar (though Elfwinë might, later on; we're not told). King Eldacar is firmly treated as a Dúnadan with no shortening of lifespan or signs of Northern heritage. Finwë's children and grandchildren are definitionally Noldor.

But this is by no means absolutely the case. The Elvishness of the line of Dol Amroth is not only inherited from Mithrellas, a woman, but passes to some extent to Boromir and Faramir through their mother Finduilas. Denethor and Aragorn's descent from Elros primarily comes through Silmariën, a woman (and also through Rían daughter of Barahir and Morwen daughter of Belecthor for Denethor, and Fíriel daughter of Ondoher for Aragorn). And of course, Elros's part-Maia heritage that lingers among his descendants for thousands of years derives from women, Lúthien and Melian.

So there's not some straightforward system or rule that will tell you when a near or remote ancestor "matters" when it comes to determining a character's identity, either to the character or to how they're handled by the narrative. Sometimes a single grandparent, or great-grandparent, or more distant ancestor, is fundamental to how a character is treated by the story and understands themself. Sometimes a character is so completely identified with one parent that the entire other half of their heritage is negligible to how they're framed by the story and see themself. It depends!

thingol grieving when he hears about turin's fate... when he's told of how much misfortune and suffering and horror turin experienced in the years since they last saw each other... when he learns that his son chose to end his own life after everything and now, no matter how much thingol wishes to see him again, it will never happen...

like. i'm just thinking about how much thingol must regret not stopping turin from leaving doriath. i wonder how many what ifs he was left with, if he ever felt that he could have prevented turin's hardships if he'd just kept him closer and safer. i wonder how much a part of him agreed when hurin angrily blamed him for not protecting turin and morwen well enough
