All of the following blog posts were based off of Tolkien's work in The Silmarillion, moving forward future blog posts will be based off of The Children of Hurin.
I was born beneath the shadowed eaves of Neldoreth, in the realm of Doriath, where the great forest sings with the memory of stars. My name is Beleg, and I am also known as CĂșthalion Strongbow, for my skill with the bow is unmatched among the Sindar. Yet I am more than a hunter or warrior. I am a servant of King Thingol, a warden of the marches, and a friend to the lost and the doomed. Tall I stand among my kin, with silver-grey eyes that have seen both beauty and sorrow. My hair is dark like the twilight woods, and my raiment is green and brown, woven by the hands of the Noldor and the Sindar alike. I carry Belthronding, my bow of black yew, strung with the sinew of the great beasts of the forest. At my side hangs Anglachel, the sword of strange fate, forged in the depths of Angband and gifted to me by Thingol himself. It is a blade of iron will, and it drinks the blood of those it strikes.

I am a high elf - one that is good, kind, loves compositions of author’s writings, and nature.

The way that we just tie words together to make sentences full of meaning. We use words to express ourselves, share our thoughts, tell people how we feel, convey our wants and needs, and so much more. But one of ...
Song of Eru https://www.youtube.com/watch v=BgOZPIxRzEo&list=PLAVVaIe6rNo82WLhOXiyU568SG_v7G2SS&index=3 Before the dawn, I wove the air A whisper bright, both pure and fair From silent void the echoes grew A harmony both old and new I sang of seas, their endless tide Of mountains tall, the earth’s proud guide The stars took flame, their courses ran To light the dreams of Elves and Man The winds were born, the rivers strong Each heart was set within the song Though shadows strove to break the tone My music flows, unbounded my own And all shall find, when night is gone The world made whole within the dawn The lyrics of Eru’s song captures the beauty, order, and harmony of creation. Each line reflects how Eru brings the universe into life through music. Seas, mountains, stars, winds, and rivers all emerge from his melody. Even when discord arises, his music is not over...
