          ...and a hunter also was Celegorm, who in Valinor was a friend of Oromë, and often followed the Vala's horn.           [...] Often they were guests in the halls of Aulë; but Celegorm went rather to the house of Oromë, and there he got great knowledge of birds and beasts, and all their tongues he knew.

dear @cnc-week, due to me being a silly-billy and being parted indefinitely from my Celegorm & Huan watercolour that took multiple days to do, please accept this rushed offering of “Celegorm getting (probably diabolical) advice from his emotional support shoulder lizard aka low-budget Huan replacement” — done in a few hours whilst on the move with, er, limited materials ✨🥺🦎

charcoal pencil, vine charcoal, coloured pencil, and fucking Tippex/WhiteOut

back to middle-earth month 3/23/26 | 2017: the silmarillion (redux) | companionship @cnc-week day eight | relationships | celegorm & huan

Now the chief of the wolf hounds that followed Celegorm was named Huan. He was not born in Middle-earth, but came from the Blessed Realm; for Oromë had given him to Celegorm long ago in Valinor, and there he had followed the horn of his master, before evil came. Huan followed Celegorm into exile, and was faithful; and thus he too came under the doom of woe set upon the Noldor, and it was decreed that he should meet death, but not until he encountered the mightiest wolf that would ever walk the world.

subito

Curufin faces an unexpected betrayal.

For Back to Middle-earth Month 2026, Day 19! Today's prompt is from 2018's Music of the Waters event. On March 19 they gave a list of musical terms, of which I randomly selected subito. I combined that with the @cnc-week prompts Curufin and Betrayal to write about Curufin and his wife's last argument.

Cruelty

History will call them cruel, but cruelty is not why they did it.

I can't believe I almost forgot to post this piece for @cnc-week! for days 7-8: Relationships, I wrote a bit about Celegorm and his "cruel servants"...
