Pimp your rare faves thread!

[elwinfortuna]

Got a character you'd love to see some fic or art for but they're really obscure?

Tell us all about them here! Link us to any information about them, point us to the appropriate parts of the Legendarium, and/or speculate further about them!

(If you sign up to write one of these characters, the only thing you need to consider is any actual canon information about them, any speculations or headcanons are just for fun.)

Daurin Tórin

[elwinfortuna]

Daurin is a kinsman of Fëanor who attacked Melkor and Ungoliant when they were destroying the Trees, and got killed for his trouble.

I would love to see him as Míriel's brother (that way he's a kinsman of just Fëanor, not the whole house of Finwë) and to be portrayed as brave and fearless to a fault. Definitely intending to request this dude!

Angamaitë

[elwinfortuna]

Angamaitë was the leader of the Corsairs of Umbar in Third Age 1634, when they raided Pelargir and slew King Minardil of Gondor.

Angamaitë means 'Iron-Handed' in Quenya, it's also an epesse of Angrod, son of Finarfin. Pure speculation here that Third Age Angamaitë was a fanboy of his Elvish namesake!

Alatar and Pallando

[elwinfortuna]

Alatar and Pallando were the Blue Wizards, sent along with Gandalf, Saruman, and Radagast from Valinor to help defeat Sauron. They were Maia of Oromë and travelled far into the East of Middle-earth. There's much speculation on whether they succeeded or failed in their mission, with even Tolkien himself not being sure and changing his mind about them.

Ainairos

[elwinfortuna]

Ainairos is a Telerin Elf whose brother was killed at Alqualondë. As a result, he bears a grudge against the Noldor and is not in favour of them being allowed to return.

Quennar i Onótimo

[elwinfortuna]

Quennar i Onótimo is a Loremaster of Aman who wrote about the reckoning of time and devised the word menel, meaning 'heavens, firmament'.

Findis, Faniel, and Írimë | Lalwen

[elwinfortuna]

Findis, Faniel, and Lalwen are the three daughters of Finwë and Indis.

Findis is the eldest child of Finwë and Indis. At the Rebellion of the Noldor, she remained with her mother in Aman.

Faniel is the least-known of the children of Finwë and Indis, with her place in the birth order uncertain (not the oldest and not the youngest, though). She also remained in Aman.

Lalwen or Írimë is Fingolfin's favourite sister, and she went with him to Middle-earth. Her fate is unknown.

Findobar

[elwinfortuna]

Findobar is the son of Fingon in an early version of the Legendarium.

I'm just really interested in a son of Fingon who is not Gil-galad and did not become King. What happened to him? Was he disqualified on the grounds that Fingon wasn't married and he was a bastard? Was he killed in the Dagor Bragollach along with Aegnor and Angrod? What was he like? What was his mother like?
