Númenórë
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost...
— J.R.R. Tolkien
I dot not intend to sound clichê, but never before has this quote been more meaningful to me than it is now.

I Luini Istari
“The 'other two' came much earlier, at the same time probably as Glorfindel, when matters became very dangerous in the Second Age. Glorfindel was sent to aid Elrond and was (though not yet said) preeminent in the war in Eriador.
But the other two Istari were sent for a different purpose. Morinehtar [Alatar] and Rómestámo [Pallando]. Darkness-slayer and East-helper. Their task was to circumvent Sauron: to bring help to the few tribes of Men that had rebelled from Melkor-worship, to stir up rebellion... and after [Sauron’s] first fall to search out his hiding (in which they failed) and to cause [dissension and disarray] among the dark East.
They must have had very great influence on the history of the Second Age and Third Age in weakening and disarraying the forces of East... who would both in the Second Age and Third Age otherwise have... outnumbered the West.”

FINGOLFIN
Fingolfin's father-name was Ñolofinwë (Quenya: "Wise Finwë", from the Quenyan 'ngolod' [“wise”]; pron. Noldorin [ˌŋoloˈfinwe], Vanyarin [ˌŋoloˈɸinwe], 3rd Age Exilic Quenya [ˌnoloˈfinwe]). His mother-name was Aracáno ("High Chieftain", from ara [“high”] and káno [“chieftain”]; pron. [ˌaraˈkaːno]). Fingolfin is the Sindarin form of his father-name, with the word Finwë added to the beginning (the actual Quenya equivalent would be Finwë Ñolofinwë). The addition was done by Fingolfin himself in pursuance of his rightful claim to be High King of the Noldor after his father's death.
Fingolfin was the second High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand, the Ñoldor being one of the three branches of Elves. He was the eldest son of Finwë and Indis, younger brother of Findis, older brother of Irimë and Finarfin, and the younger half-brother of Fëanor. He founded the House of Fingolfin, which ruled the Ñoldor in Middle-earth. His wife was Anairë and his children were Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, and Argon. Fingolfin was said to be the strongest, most steadfast, and most valiant of Finwë's sons.

Crissaegrim

The Crissaegrim were a mountain range, forming a part of the southern Echoriath, the Encircling Mountains of Gondolin, and were inaccessible from the ground. However they were home to the great Eagles, and from here Thorondor, Lord of the Eagles, watched for spies in the vale of the River Sirion. Indeed, the Eagles were the chief source of information to Turgon and the Gondolindrim.
Crissaegrim is a Sindarin name that includes the root kris-. meaning "Cleft Mountain Peaks". It is usually referred to as the "Abode of Eagles".

With the Valar came other spirits whose being also began before the World, of the same order as the Valar but of less degree. These are the Maiar, the people of the Valar, and their servants and helpers. Their number is not known to the Elves, and few have names in any of the tongues of the Children of Ilúvatar; for though it is otherwise in Aman, in Middle-earth the Maiar have seldom appeared in form visible to Elves and Men.

Oh wow... looking at this picture, before reading the caption, and seeing her at that brink made my mind go directly to Nienor upon Cabed-en-Aras, right before the leap.

Hey legendarium-enthusiast, apparently we weren’t the only ones sloshed last night. I think we’re psychically attuned to J2 ;-)
Hahahaha... for real now? As you said, it was meant to be. This is so fucking perfect!! 😁
Ainulindalë Head-canon
I have this (probably far-fetched, simplistic and insane) theory on the themes proposed by Ilúvatar to the Ainur for the arrangement of the Great Music. And that is, he actually set the themes to be the Seasons.
The 1st theme being Spring, which is when life flourishes. And Ilúvatar not only set the theme, but imbues the Ainur with inspiration to sing of it. And, receiving inspiration, they compose the Music. But Melkor, wanting to create his own arrangements, instead of singing of Spring does the exact antithesis, and sings of Autumn.
Then Ilúvatar presents the 2nd theme: Summer. And just as before, upon receiving inspiration, the Ainur sing of Summer. But again Melkor, in his greedy longing to devise his own instrumentation, sings the precise opposite, thus composing Winter.
The 3rd theme is clearly the Children, so there’s no doubt or speculation to be made on this one.
And that would be how Ilúvatar manages to incorporate Melkor’s discord into his ultimate symphony of Creation and, consequently, the history of Eä.
Call me delirious, I know this is an odd theory, but that crazy thought actually came from listening to Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” a while back.
