Do you have any ideas what the Avari Elves would look like in your Eldritch AU? Would they be smaller (cause iirc, Elves from Valinor are taller than those from Middle Earth)? Would they have animal hides?

I hope I'm not annoying. :(

You're not being annoying at all, don't worry!! I love receiving your questions about the AU! Helps me develop the lore hahaa XD

As for the Dark Elves, @overlord-of-fantasy had an idea about them that I really like! You can find it here; they'd indeed wear animal hides and pelts/furs, and their masks could also reflect animal faces to better help with camouflage. I also think they'd be smaller, like you suggested - and this finally gave me the push to draw the different Elven clans lmaoo (using Beren as my human height comparison once again XD)

The Dark Elves are on the left! Morwe and Nurwe are apparently from (likely) abandoned drafts, but I decided to use the names anyway XD And the coloured lines are meant to represent the clans' jewellery styles!

@oneringnet underrated characters event ☆ NURWË & MORWË

But the kindreds of Morwë and Nurwë were unwilling and refused the summons, preferring the starlight and the wide spaces of the Earth to the rumour of the Trees. Now these dwelt furthest from the waters of Cuiviénen, and wandered in the hills, and they had not seen Oromë at his first coming, and of the Valar they knew no more than shapes and rumours of wrath and power as they marched to war... These are the Avari, the Unwilling, and they were sundered in that time from the Eldar, and met never again until many ages were past.

4. Something about a character who is probably a bad influence on you

idk even know what to write for this prompt. Oh well. Obscure, barely canon character is obscure and barely canonical. And not really a bad influence on me. Just a bad influence.

“Uncle,” a small hand tugs on his tunic hem.

Morwë glances slyly towards his little great-nephew, hands stilling where Morwë is slowly turning silver wire and a lapis bead, carved into the shape of a flower blossom, into a ring.

“Uncle,” Eöl waits for him to meet the child’s gaze patiently, and then stares at the small bag of crystallised fruit Míriel, Morwë's second eldest younger brother’s tendresse, made him pointedly.

Finwë is still sulking that Morwë warrants dried, sweetened fruit, and he does not.

Morwë would point out bringing back spider silk from the moors will gain you that sort of boon. But then he would lose his only supplier of sweet treats.

Their mother can’t make crystallised fruit to save herself.

“It’s nearly your dinner time,” Morwë demurs.

Eöl puffs his cheeks out, nose wrinkling.

Morwë laughs, ignoring Nurwë’s commentary about him being a bad influence from across the fire, and slips Eöl a piece of his bounty.

His lover continues to grumble at him for ruining Eöl's dinner until  Morwë manages to throw a piece of the fruit straight into Nurwë's mouth.

Family tree beneath cut to explain these shenanigans:

Yes I'm well aware some of the names haven't been worked out properly. Shush. Working on that.
