History of the Elves

Started by Thorondor3 pages

You have to pay for every mmorpg, like 10-15 euro's a month, best game format though 🙂

I'm not impressed that you can't be an Eagle =\

Dunno if i'll get it, spose i'll give it a try but dunno if it's gonna be the best one of it's kind, i've been hearing good things about WoW

What's your char called and what server are you on?

It's Valrath on the Kujata server. I'm a lvl 11 Elvaan Monk/ lvl 3 thief

I'm Going for Thór Vór cause Thorondor will be taken probs 😬, i was going for a Warrior/Paladin gonna have to look on some forums for the most effective combination

edit - Elvann cause they are better fighters 🙂 might get a second char of a hume or maybe a tarutaru those things make me laugh everytime i see them they run so funny 😄

*whispers* am sorry to interrupt... but... what about a new thread about this all... sounds interesting and loads of stuff to discuss... but its at the moment kinda offtopic 😐 😮

yeah, it is OT. It happens. Could have been worse. To anothere forum and thread!

Are you going to play that game?

I guess not, though I really like the idea of the game, but I prefer spending the time I have online in forums or talking ^^

A lot of interesting details in there, good work.
I like the use of the Eldarin languages in all the names and the different stories of Middle-earth connected to Séretur's own, personal story that is still quite independant.

Séretur (...) was born in 2893 of the Third Age

Quite late for the fading Elves in Middle-earth, but yet a logical date
In May of 3439 of the Second Age, Angaráto went to fight in the Battle of Dagorlad led by Gil-Galad and Elendil.

Why did he join so late? Wasn't he there during the rest of the siege of Barad-dûr (started seven years before 3441... so... in 3434?) and the Last Alliance?
Seems reasonable though as I doubt that all the elves that fought in the final battle spent all the past five years there, too 😂
Angaráto died honorably in the Last Alliance. His father Taurnil Helyanwe fought valiantly in the Battle of the Five Armies in 2941.

If I'm not totally misunderstanding this paragraph, Taurnil was the father of Séretur and hence son of Angaráto, right? If yes, then this construction is grammatically a little confusing, "his" always refers back to the last subject mentioned, which would in this case be Angaráto and theoretically make Taurnil Séretur's great-grandfather instead of father 😉 better "Séretur's" instead of "his" ^^
Séretur desired (...) Seretur became (...)

With or without accent?
... in the lands west of the Misty Mountains.
Instead he met a Laiquendi elf, Tarí Elensar

Interesting to add the half-forgotten Laiquendi to this story, I like this passage. Sad that the Laiquendi disappear so soon in the Silmarillion as most of them die together with their Lord Denethor if I remember correctly 😬 Tarí's life would be an interesting new topic itself ✅
, who hailed from the Grey Havens and who had accompanied his lord Galdor to the Imladris.

😊 Finally a story that doesn't forget Galdor 😱 <- one of my favourite characters but he hardly ever appears in any fanfictional texts 😛
His ancestors were the Teleri, famed for song and sail.
..., [he] turned from the sea, walking east into the twilight of the fading light. As night fell and shadows gathered, ...

Beautiful passage 😊 reflecting one of the imo main topics of the Silmarillion, adds even more ... historical? memorical? stilistically suiting?... elements to the biography.
Edhellenacharn, “Elven vengeance”

Cool name... pretty long though ^^
In names, usually the short element "El-" or "Elen-" (similar to the words for "star"😉 replaces the full word "Edhellen" as it's so damn long and with its three syllables kinda draws the attention from the main part of the name, the vengeance 😄

Now... good night cya *leaves*

THANKS for the feedback. 😄

I don't mean to bother you Exa but could you help me with the names if the weapons.

Bow:
Alfirenestel “Immortal Hope”
Sword:
Edhellenacharn “Elven vengeance”

I'll tell you the names of my daggers latter, when I find them.

^^... where can I help when you already have the names? 😄
I like Alfirenestel, though it's pretty long 😊
Elacharn / Edhellenacharn is also beautiful ✅

So should I have Elacharn or Edhellenacharn?

😉
... depends on what you personally like better 🙂 both are correct.

What would you recomend? What sounds better for you?

I'm not sure, but for my ears the last syllable of "edhellen" is just a little... too much, as it's - for the meaning of the word - rather unimportant/irrelevant and confusing in such a central position 😑 I personally like Edhelacharn / Ellacharn a little better as it's easier to speak, but that's just my own opinion 🙂

🙂

Thanks I think I'll just have Ellacharn.

My elvish name is Bragocirithiel. That's pretty long if I do say so...so people just call me Brago when i roleplay LOTR. 😄

i hope this was on topic...😮

I was, more or less, but here staing on topic is kind of hard.

Hi everybody. Sorry I wasn't posting for sometime I was busy and out on the weekends.

Exa I need your help again. Could you please translate these for me 😄:
Lord
Lady
Heir - Hir (I think)
Marshall
Captain
Warrior
Archer
Swordsmen
Scout
Smith

Heir - Hîl (like in 'Dior EluCHIL'😉
Marshall - marshall in the original 'marah scalc'-sense of the person responsible for the king's horses or just as a warlord?
Captain - Herdir?
Warrior - Maethor
Archer - i forgot 😮 ... you can use "Cúven" or so 😕
Swordsman - Magor
Smith - Mírdan, but I think that's rather used for jewel-smiths... the others could be called *Cóldan or so
