Its him 😉
That "light of earendil" is the light of the silmaril earendil is carrying (well thats why hes the elves' most beloved star...) she caught it somehow i think
the silmarilli are far older than the sun and the moon but of the same light but yet brighter as they were not dimmed by melcors treachery
Ehm *embarrassed*
Only one and a half year *hides*
Mine was spelt wrong, though - its "hannon le" but I think it should rather be "le hannon" or "gen hannon"
It's "havo dad" 😉
One can't know elvish cuz there are simply too few words known... some thousand, I think.
I tried to learn a bit some time ago, but I already forgot most of it.
bit offtopic, though...
Originally posted by Joseph_KerrTry 80, Joseph_kerr. It'd be closer. There are 40 generations between Aragorn and Elendil (Isildur's father). And since there's about 3000 years between Elendil and Elros, it would be closer to 80.
There is about 40 generations between Elros and Aragorn II.. so Arwen and Aragorn are very far apart in terms of their family trees.
Okay, so here it is: Earendil is an Elf flying around in a boat up in the sky. He's got a Silmaril bound on his forehead, and Galadriel derived the Phial from it the same way Feanor derived the Silmarils from the Trees (however he did that). Earendil's children were Elrond and Elros, known as the Peredhil "Half-Elven" because of the blood of Men that flowed in their veins. Elrond married Celebrian, daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel, and had three children: Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen. At some point, Celebrian was struck by a poison dart while in the wild, and though she was not killed by it, she had to sail to Valinor. Elros was the first of the Kings of Numenor, and Aragorn is a direct decsendant of Elros, though very distant. Galadriel was the daughter of Finarfin, and was one of the Noldor that came through the northen wastes to Middle-Earth during the rebelion of Feanor, and she met Celeborn in Doriath. They eventually (after the ruin of Beleriand) founded Lothlorien and married. Aragorn, though a direct descendant of Elros, only lived to be around 230 years old. He was about 80 or 90 years old during the War of the Ring, at the time the movie takes place. Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, and had no relation to Galadriel, Arwen, or any of those people. By the way, the name is spelled Melkor, not melcor. The Evlish languages (there are more than one) are extremely advanced, even if they do not reach the same level as real-world languages. I myself and learning Quenya and Sindarin at the moment. For information on the Elvish (and other) languages, see the Ardalambion site. Lothlorien does indeed have an Army, and did indeed have several battles between them and Dol Guldur during the War of the Ring. Rivendell also had an Army, as did Thranduil's Realm. Haldir was a gaurd in Lothlorien with no more importance than anyone else. The movie made him more important than he was in the books. The Lords of Andunie, through whom descend Elendil and Isildur, are indeed unknown. I myself attampted to learn their names just the other day, but to no avail.
I believe I have covered most, if not all, of the questions mentioned here in this thread. I will check in later in case any more questions arise.
Nice text 🙂 thanks.
... I don't think Galadriel and Celeborn founded Lothlórien cuz until the End of the Second Age, the King of Lórien was Amdir father (?) of Amroth.
Melkor is usually spelt Melkor but as the name is some old form of Quenya (from *mailico) which changed a lot it doesnt matter if you write Melkor or Melcor - Tolkien also sometimes writes Melcor, and in the newer Quenya texts he always uses "c" instead of "k" and I think Melcor looks more beautiful... so I write Melcor 🙂 als well as Tulcas instead of Tulkas and so on.
As long as it represents the same sound, it doesnt matter.
