teamedain:

One of the strange practices spoken of was that many of their warriors were women, though few of these went abroad to fight in the great battles. This custom was evidently ancient; for their chieftainess Haleth had been a renowned amazon with a picked bodyguard of women.

– Haleth (Waris Dirie)

In honour of Legendarium Ladies April. 

th3rindion:

Then Caranthir looked kindly upon Men and did Haleth great honour; and he offered her recompense for for her father and brother. And seeing, over late, what valour there was in the Edain, he said to her: ‘If you will remove and dwell further north, there you shall have the friendship and protection of the Eldar, and free lands of your own.’

pls tell us your haleth emotes

arafinwion:

but i have…so many haleth emotes….some would say….too many…

like. this lady. this wonderful, badass, striking, lady was so brave and courageous her people literally named themselves after her. and i headcanon a lot about her relationship with her mom bc i think that her mom was a big influence in her life and that she taught haleth the culture and history of their house and as such haleth was one of the best choices to lead her people because she knew their past, their stories and what they believed in.

headcanon that they worshipped a god known as the Hunter (which was orome) who they prayed to before each and every hunt. a failed hunt was a sign that he was displeased with something you had done and thus had to improve your life somehow. because of this, haleth being called the hunter was an honor even though i don’t believe that title came to her until she was old and wizened yet strong and wise. when she became more myth to her people than legend because she had saved them from dying. she protected them. i headcanon that she became a figure the haladin told their children about to inspire courage and strength.

also MORE HEADCANON that those in numenor had statues of her (and andreth) they recognized her as An Important figure and while in numenor they knew she wasn’t a myth they still spoke of her with reverence and alsjakdas

i have feelings okay
