Before the Sun and the Moon

Picture
"Leaving Mortal Shores" [2008/2022]
The Age of Stars, Sun yet has to be made. Olwë in Beleriand is looking across the sea towards the Undying Lands.
​Soon he will lead his people West, leaving his lost brother behind
"Two lords they had, for their numbers were very great: Elwë Singollo, which signifies Greymantle, and Olwë his brother. The hair of Olwë was long and white, and his eyes were blue; but the hair of Elwë was grey as silver, and his eyes were as stars; he was the tallest of all the Elven-folk."

The Oath of the Fëanorians (WiP 2016/2020)
"Then Fëanor swore a terrible oath. His seven sons leapt straightway to his side and took the selfsame vow together, and red as blood shone their drawn swords in the glare of the torches."
​

​– J.R.R. Tolkien,The Silmarillion, Chapter 9: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"

Losgar

"It has been told that Fëanor and his sons came first of the Exiles to Middle-earth, and landed in the waste of Lammoth, the Great Echo, upon the outer shores of the Firth of Drengist. And even as the Noldor set foot upon the strand their cries were taken up into the hills and multiplied, so that a clamour as of countless mighty voices filled all the coasts of the North; and the noise of the burning of the ships at Losgar went down the winds of the sea as a tumult of great wrath, and far away all who heard that sound were filled with wonder."
​
– J.R.R. Tolkien,The Silmarillion, Chapter 13: "Of the Return of the Noldor"

Crossing of the Helcaraxë

After the Nightfall and the First Kinslaying, two hosts of Noldor crossed the Grinding Ice of Helcaraxë.

"Then Fingolfin seeing that Fëanor had left him to perish in Araman or return in shame to Valinor was filled with bitterness; but he desired now as never before to come by some way to Middle-earth, and meet Fëanor again. (...) and finding no other way they endured at last the terror of the Helcaraxë and the cruel hills of ice. Few of the deeds of the Noldor thereafter surpassed that desperate crossing in hardihood or woe."

Morgoth

Picture
Morgoth with Silmarili [Painter & Photoshop 2010]
"There he delved anew his vast vaults and dungeons, and above their gates he reared the threefold peaks of Thangorodrim, and a great reek of dark smoke was ever wreathed about them. There countless became the hosts of his beasts and his demons, and the race of the Orcs, bred long before, grew and multiplied in the bowels of the earth. Dark now fell the shadow on Beleriand, as is told hereafter, but in Angband Morgoth forged for himself a great crown of iron, and he called himself King of the World. In token of this he set the Silmarils in his crown."

– J.R.R. Tolkien,The Silmarillion, Chapter 9: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"

​Let the Havens Burn

Picture
Let the Havens Burn [2008/2010]
"​Now when first the tidings came to Maedhros that Elwing yet lived, and dwelt in possession of the Silmaril by the mouths of Sirion, he repenting of the deeds in Doriath withheld his hand. But in time the knowledge of their oath unfulfilled returned to torment him and his brothers, and gathering from their wandering hunting-paths they sent messages to the Havens of friendship and yet of stern demand.​"
