Lady of the Seas
Uinen: me
Phx: Yuri
Thanks a lot to my dear friend Liz.
concept for Olwë, Finwë and Elwë
like a white swan you are in your blue lake, I admire you from the shore without ever getting tired.
“[Osse]’s spouse is Uinen, the Lady of the Seas, whose hair lies spread through all waters under sky. …to her mariners cry, for she can lay calm upon the waves, restraining the wildness of Osse.”
So this is what I basically imagined when I read that.

Olwё
the Lord of Alqualondё
This is how I imagine him: silver-haired, stormy-eyed, calm but strong.
Falmari.
These are my OCs: brother and sister, Nimros and Neniel. He is a healer and she is a water-listener: the one who can hear Ulmo’s messages in babbling water, the skill she learned from Uinen. I don’t have a proper story for them yet, just some random facts:)

don't go to the shore, they say it's haunted.

Nicole Slater's Swan Maiden is so beautiful. The sketch frame is so pretty.

Uinen, the Lady of the Seas
Uinen was the wife of Ossë and a Maia of Ulmo, the Vala of waters. She loved all the creatures and plants that lived in the seas, and her hair is said to spread throughout the waters of the world. Uinen and her husband preferred the shores and shallow seas to the deep blue oceans of Ulmo, and this lead them to befriend the Telerin elves who dwelt on the shores. She wept after the Kinslaying at Alqualonde which caused the seas to swell and sink some of the Noldor in their stolen ships. Uinen’s husband Ossë had a temper and enjoyed raising sea storms, and mariners would cry out to her to calm him. When Ossë was briefly seduced into the service of Melkor in the early days of the world, Uinen suceeded in bringing him back to the side of the Valar after Aule pleaded with her. Many elves and humans held her in reverance equal to the Valar. The group of Numenoran mariners and adventures known as The Guild of Venturers was also known as the Uinendili, which means devotees of Uinen. Following the Hiding of Valinor, it was said that those who reached the Enchanted Isles became caught in Uinen’s hair, where they were put in an enchanted sleep by the Vala Irmo/Lorien.
An island in the Numenorean Bay of Romena was said by the people to have been a gift from Uinen.
In early versions of Tolkien’s legendarium, Uinen weaves the sails for the ship of the Moon. They were made of white mists and seafoam and some appeared like fish scales while others had star-like points of light. This relationship between Uinen and the Moon isn’t apparent in The Silmarillion, and probably reflects how the moon causes the tides that wash upon the shores, which is the area that Uinen and Ossë are associated with.
At one point Uinen and Ossë were Valar, and acted independently of (and sometimes against) the will of Ulmo. Some of her earlier names were Ui, Ónen, and Solórë.
Finally, there was a stage in Tolkien’s writings were he included fays, sprites, brownies, pixies, nymphs, leprawns, dryads, etc. This was before he created the concept of the Maiar, and during this time Uinen (here known as Ui the Vala) was called Queen of Mermaids.
