–
Very high king of the Noldor, keeper of the secret Noldorin liquor
which keeps you warm during your long walks on the ice.
Small bunch of sketches, concept work ‘n‘ progress. Decided to post something before I cast myself into the void.
Still need to work on Varda..
I just can’t decide if I should make her bright as a star or as the nightsky above Cuiviénen.
Beside my tough college time I wish you some good holidays and a happy new year!

Hey dets! Quick question – in reference to the previous anon’s q about Gimli and learning Sindarian. I haven’t been able to find any resources suggesting that the language of the Noldor was banned, only on the Ban laid on them by the Valar irt returning to Valinor. Was wondering if you could direct me to any you have?
Ahhh sure! It appears that I have been somewhat misled by the wording used in the Silm here! Sorry for any confusion!
Noldorin is in fact the SAME THING as EXILIC QUENYAN (i.e. the Quenya spoken by the Noldor in exile.) So it is in fact a Noldorin dialect of Quenya that was banned by Elu Thingol!
The actual quote in the Silm is this: “Never again in my ears shall be heard the tongue of those who slew my kin in Alqualondë! Nor in all my realm shall it be openly spoken, while my power endures. All the Sindar shall hear my command that they shall neither speak with the tongue of the Noldor nor answer to it. And all such as use it shall be held slayers of kin and betrayers of kin unrepentant.”
