all-things-devours:

But Tilion went with uncertain pace, as yet he goes, and was still drawn towards Arien, as he shall ever be; so that often both may be seen above the Earth together, or at times it will chance that he comes so nigh that his shadow cuts off her brightness and there is a darkness amid the day.

   Arien    

I think my favorite design is this incredible blaze-y flamey curly one by @yeaka, but my favorite art overall is this one by breath-art (an amaaaaazing supplier of so many of these stained-glass-style fanarts-of-a-story, btw!!) showing her Arien-ness within her domain – the maia of the sun, submerged and an extension of the essence and meaning of the sun and the day (or is the sun and the day an extension of her? same difference, depending on how one cuts it). Her whole….dynamic, with the world and the daytime and Tilion and the nighttime and the mechanics of the sun and the sunship and everything the Tale of the Sun and Moon entails. (Weird thing, the tale of the sun and moon is one of the only sections of the Silm I can be relied upon to choke up over every single time I read it.)
