nichts nichts gar nichts

whispers into the night what if what if

lúthien singing her song and lulling morgoth and his court into slumber

weaving her way to the heart of darkness in beleriand and rendering it utterly vulnerable, accomplishing what few others would do

valaraukar and fell beasts of all manner falling at her feet - and morgoth, in all his might, falls too.

angband’s throne stands empty: beren goes to claim the silmaril and lúthien declares no, it’s not enough

she’s her own kind of darkness after all, and morgoth can keep his cruel designs

that throne will suit her just fine

#luthien as the dark yet infinitely benign lady of beleriand #shaping anew what morgoth warped #tolkien always described her in terms of shadows and twilight i mean it's not that much of a leap

Nichelle Nichols as Gandwif the Grey—Gandwif was one of the five Istari sent to Middle-earth by the Valar in the Third Age. In Valinor she was known as Olóriel. Gandwif was instrumental in bringing about the demise of Sauron in the Third Age, chiefly by encouraging others and dispensing her wisdom at pivotal times. Gandalf was originally robed in grey, and second to Saruvan in the Order of wizards. After her fall in Moria, Gandwif returned to Middle-earth as head of the Order, robed in white. Gandwif was noteworthy for her keen interest in pipe-smoking, and the Hobbits who instructed her in the art.
