Honestly, shout out to Oropher and Thranduil for not getting involved in the incest party.

Legolas politely doesn’t think about the fact that Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen’s family tree is a wreath, because honestly, he finds it super weird. The amount of times Legolas has had to restrain himself from clapping back at any comments about his family with “yeah, well at least our romantic interests isn’t made up exclusively of our cousins” is surreal.

Legolas, when Aragorn and Arwen fall in love: so! I love and support you both, i would die for you! But would it kill ya’ll to stop falling in love with your cousins?!? I know it’s technically the nth time removed, but still!

Version 2 of my giant family tree- this time including all the Men!

This time all the siblings are in the right order and the tree is arranged to make it generally easier to visualize degrees-of-cousins. Unfortunately it's full of overlapping lines, indicated by little double lines on each side of a line break. (---ll | ll---)

Dashed lines indicate unknown numbers of generations, and the one (sort of) dotted line is for adoption.

Flashback to the time I made a whole family tree for the silmarillion

I know it's hard to see and hope it's accurate but still can't believe I sat there and collected them all.

I am totally aware that most elves are somehow related, and the fandom thrives off gay ships, but first cousins are out of bounds. I'm looking at you, Russingon shippers.

#okay but they are really cute i have to admit #but that family tree is already hella messy #silmarillion #tolkien <3 #silm <3

a rumour and a distant name and beren?

There was a bounty on the head of her brother. This, Hiril knew for certain, and the enemy did not issue bounties for dead men.

She knew for certain very little else. He moved carefully, at night, guided from enemy eyes. He would appear behind enemy lines, and he would slaughter their encampments.

They said you could hear him singing like a ghost in the hills—mournful songs. Beautiful. That sounded like Beren—like the little songs he had scrawled and sung to himself for as long as she could remember. They had been lovely—rough and amateur, littered with adolescent cliche, and yet she had always thought there was something special about them. His voice, she had thought, had always bled bright red.

They said he sung about roses. They said he was guarded by a fleeting shadow at night.

They said that his bounty rivaled Nom's. That had made her smile for days—had made the fire crackle merrily, had made the cold less bitter and the night less dark. He was a hero and an outlaw. He would die by the Enemy's hand, and she hoped only that she would know of it—that he would not simply disappear, forever, into the night.

But he had a bounty on his head, and so he was still alive.

#omg THANK you for the opportunity to write about hiril daughter of barahir #my favorite uh name on a family tree #silm #beren erchamion #Tolkien

If you think War and Peace has too many names and characters, try the Silmarillion.

If think the Silmarillion has too many names and characters, try the Mahabharata.

If you're like me and you suck with names, well, good luck my friend, come and suffer with me.

#war and peace wasn't too bad but it helps i'm a native french speaker and was studying russian at the time #no clue how i went through the silm #a lot of staring at family trees #going through the mahabharata atm #need to study genealogy #all of this because i'm going through a phase #a picky phase #if i'm not reading documentaries #i'm reading mythology #or the frigging lawcode of hammurabi #read egyptian myths and the epic of gilgamesh #cool stuff #watch me read the archer's heart as a dare to myself #i hate myself already

alright you’ve been extremely extremely kind and indulgent to me about my oc and i cannot possibly thank you enough <333333 so MY turn now to ask YOU about YOURS. please tell me about maglor’s distant granddaughter who is also your bbeg?? .w. or about the chatty hobbits i would very VERY much love to hear about both!!!

~ @nelyoslegalteam, reporting from main <3

(long post, sorry for the random people stumbling upon this lol)

so I'm the dm for the chatty hobbits campaign and essentially it's set in a beleriand-adjacent continent, but with a few extra races and stuff. of the founders of the original settlements, the king of elende (the elf kingdom) is Gil-galad's (invented for the campaign) twin brother Finellach/Finwain. originally he was inspired by the fact that gil galad has a ton of names but only uses ereinion/gil, so I just invented a new character and gave him half the names. I headcanon gil galad as maglor's son, so finwain is in universe maglor's son (left at the havens with gil bc his wife divorced him for kinslaying and his kingdom, being next door neighbors with morgoth, is far too dangerous for small children).

Anyways, his descendant Elinyel (also known as aramire or elinnor) is the current queen of Elende! she's an evil fire-themed bard who is extremely feanorian in all the worst ways - her actual kingdom prospered under her reign, but she just does not care about everyone else as long as she's protecting her people. There were some tensions with one of the major kingdoms to the north (conflict over unclaimed territory between the kingdoms and some tariff stuff), so instead of risking the other kingdom starting a war and hurting her people, she just preemptively invaded it and started burned all the border territories to the ground.

her actual coronation was pretty weird- so she's the second child, but her older sister was born in wartime and there's a general belief in elende that children of peacetime make better rulers, so Elinyel was chosen as her family's heir. her grandfather (the crown prince of his generation) died defending Elende in one of the major wars, but his younger brother and two young kids survived. there's a whole feud between their houses because the brother chose to retain the kingship even after the kids were old enough to take the throne. anyways, two generations later Elinyel killed her cousin Arendil (the previous king of Elende) over a dispute about the legitimacy of his house (and what she believed to be a dishonoring of her grandparents' sacrifice) and took the throne.

obviously she has many Issues. arendil also has two surviving kids who are now essentially trying to stop her from murdering all their neighbors in proactive defense of her people.

however, when she first ascended she recruited her friend group as her elite guard/vassals of the kingdom. (aka the other bosses in the storyline). so it escalated to a war between her forces and the children of arendil, which ultimately culminated in her beloved sister being killed by one of arendil's children. this in turn led to her having basically a massive mental breakdown and feeling like she failed to protect her loved ones (exacerbated by some of her other friends being killed in battles she led). a normal person might decide this is was kind of her fault for starting a war and putting her friends in charge of the army. instead she decided she needed to destroy everyone who could ever potentially pose a threat. which is, in her eyes, literally everyone on the continent (except for her kingdom, of course).

so now she is at war with absolutely everyone of all factions! She is also somehow winning by virtue of Song almost on the level of maglor himself, and ten (now six) also incredibly powerful friends. Anyways, she has decided that the best way to wipe out the continent (except her kingdom) and start fresh is to literally find an ancient lost stone that can break the Doors of Night, summon Morgoth himself, and start the Dagorath. obviously this will Not go well for anyone at all if she succeeds, but she is on a full-on rampage and genuinely believes she (plus friends) can protect her kingdom from Morgoth's army while he wipes out everyone else.

Here's some old art of her btw!

And some slightly more recent unfinished art of her and the Evil Friend Group from when they were younger:

and here's (L-R) her cousin who is the 3rd boss, Elinyel, and her sister from before the war!

#asks #THANK YOU FOR THIS BTW #i only have 1 friend irl who plays dnd and is also not affiliated with the campaign #and they aren't a silm person #so i cannot talk w anyone irl about the Lore #one of the few kingdoms who could really oppose her is the magic one #bc max level wizards might as well be ainur and the monarch of the magic kingdom is Very Powerful #however. said monarch is also the twin sibling of one of elinyel's friends #(who is also an evil lich now and also maybe dating a diff friend who is an evil sorceror? not sure of details yet)#so the super powerful battlemage monarch is remaining Politically Neutral so they don't have to fight their literal evil twin #currently the party is level 6 and just defeated the very-weakened wraith of one of the friends #she was a druid but sort of decayed when she was corrupted and was kidnapping untrained/low level sorcs as servants to siphon power from #and also living in the Grove of Resurrection in order to stay intact #i forgot her dialogue while running the battle so while i looked through my docs i just had her say 'loading please wait' lol #also more chatty hobbit stuff #the grove is a huge grassy area with a walking tree in the middle #so the whole thing is constantly roaming aroudn #the wraith-druid had her castle built on it so she could have a moving castle that also heals her #the grassy part will resurrect any dead thing put on it #for the battle they had to drag her off the grass in order to kill her #technically shes been dead for some years but is surviving via constant contact w the grove #the hobbit (Shade) is from the Alder family who has historically been the guardians of the grove #he discovered he could talk to the tree in the middle and immediately started trying to figure out a way he could use the grove to #clone one of the party members #the tree does not approve of intentionally cutting off people's arms to see if it regenerates into a clone lol #oh! and they found anglachel in the grove. the dragonborn monk wants to keep it

Hey, you know how people move somewhere far away and change their names when they want start fresh, at least in stories?

...Can elves do that? In Middle-Earth OR in Aman?

#silm #silmarillion #I think it's possible in Middle-Earth there's so many lost elves there someone's GOT to just get a wig and live under a different name #but in Aman I think one gets IDed within a day wherever they go including their whole family tree #honestly I think it would be illegal in Aman if elves ever thought of the concept there #too many murderers returning from the Halls #I just made myself sad that it's not an option for them #ignore me just thinking aloud #not even any concrete elves in mind
