Day 9 – Precious

“Then suddenly Nienor started to her feet, and stood pale as a wraith in the moon, and looked down on Turin, and cried: ‘Farewell, O twice beloved! A Turin Turambar turun’ ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!’”
Tolkien

Túrin they laid in a high mound where he had fallen, and the shards of Gurthang were laid beside him. And when all was done, the Elves sang a lament for the Children of Húrin, and a great grey stone was set upon the mound, and thereon was carven in runes of Doriath:

TÚRIN TURAMBAR DAGNIR GLAURUNGA

and beneath they wrote also:

NIENOR NÍNIEL

But she was not there, nor was it ever known whither the cold waters of Teiglin had taken her.

My first submission for Legendarium Ladies April, from J.R.R Tolkien’s Silmarillion. (Well, it’s more like Legendarium Ladies Year on this blog.)

Nerdanel, elven sculptor extraordinaire, daughter of Mahtan the Smith and wife of Fëanor who stayed in Valinor when her husband and seven sons were exiled into the Great Lands.

Amarië, Vanyar elf who stayed in Valinor with her family when her love Finrod of the Noldor journeyed into the Great Lands. The Vanyar only ventured into battle once, in the great War of Wrath when they en masse defeated Morgoth and all the orc armies, evil Men, Balrogs and Dragons.

Nienor, (human) daughter of Hurin, who was able to pass as a male Sinda hunter in Doriath where her family members were adopted by the elven king Thingol. I guess this is her last ride with the company of Mablung, she could have been quite an Éowyn like figure. D-X

AU: The witch’s daughter // The girl I never saw

the idea is that one day the daughter of an important Easterling commander gets lost in the woods and stumbles upon the witch’s daughter in the middle of hunting a rabbit… 

  • They can’t speak the same language
  • Nienor helps her find her way back
  • She gives Nienor her warm mittens, Nienor gives her her old scarf in return
  • Years later their memories of the meeting are vague, but impactful

Reality is: I just wanted Nienor to have a friend, if even just for a day sbhjndsbhf
