back when I made my masked ainur post for Tolkien Fashion Week, I was also playing around with some gandalf designs. I couldn’t settle on one I liked so I dropped them … but in retrospect, I think I like both haha

Manwë Sulimo

Manwë Sulimo, the King of the Valar and Lord of the Airs of Arda... appointed to his position of authority by Eru Iluvatar as his heart was closest to the One.

Manwë is the younger brother to Melkor, and he is married to Varda the Lady of the Stars. The relationships described in lore for him are few... but highlight Manwë's gentle spirit, forgiving nature, and his inability to comprehend evil.
