The Maiar - Blog Posts

The next 5, because Tumblr only allows 10 pictures. Aulë, the Vala of Stone and Fire, and master of Smiths; Manwë, king of Arda and Vala of the Winds and Skies; Oromë, Vala of the Hunt; Thuringwethil, Maia of Melkor and herald of Sauron; Melian, queen of Doriath, and mother of Luthien Tinuvél.

Here are the first 5 Silmarillion oracle cards! They are Ulmo, Vala of water and all that lives within it; Mairon, better known as the troublesome Maia Sauron; Melkor, the rogue Vala of chaos and destruction- better known as Morgoth, the reason we can't have nice things; Nessa, the Vala of Wilds and wife of Tulkas; and Nienna, Vala of Grief and Compassion, who moves all peoples- even those of the enemy.

Each one is handmade, so no links, sadly. There is glitter paint on them though, because mystical fantasy deities need sparkle- even the dark evil ones. They're mostly Valar, with a couple influential Maiar strewn in there. Gandalf will make an appearance at some point!

Of course! I think I’ll do a couple at a time- there’s a lot, and they’ve all got individual backs!
