[ Right now, my life is in upheaval. I am severely depressed, over-stressed, anxious and suicidal. I have almost no time to myself between chores, trying to sleep without nightmares, and family drama. I have no time to roleplay and these events have completely killed my inspiration and motivation to sign in anymore. I haven't checked my email for 4 or more weeks. ]

[ If I manage to survive this ordeal, then maybe I'll come back. I still love roleplay, and I remember this community fondly. In the meantime, I am on an indefinite hiatus and I do not know when I'll come back. ]

“Aldarion and Erendis” from Unfinished Tales by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The advice that Erendis gives Ancalimë here is some of the most profound and wonderful guidance I’ve read from a woman in Tolkien’s works, or in any written works. Erendis is proud to fault, but she also understands the reality of her world. The narration never catches this, nor does the dramaturgical action; what we know as the standard of Numenorian life—the life that Elros, brother of Elrond unassumingly wrought—is laid bare by Erendis, a woman of Bëor’s House. Her “otherness” is the way that we see the truth of Numenor, and a glimpse into its downfall.

Queens Of Numenor - Princess Silmarien by ~shyangell

Silmariën (born S.A. 521), the progenitor of the line of the Lords of Andúnië—from which the Kings of Gondor and Arnor later sprung — was the oldest child of King Tar-Elendil. Under the laws at the time, women were not allowed to rule, so she was passed over in favour of her younger brother, Tar-Meneldur. Nevertheless, Silmariën is one of the most significant of Númenor’s royal family, as she presumably inherited both the sword Narsil and the Ring of Barahir from Tar-Elendil, her father, as these were handed down to her descendants, the Lords of Andúnië and later the Kings of Gondor and Arnor: it is to be presumed that her father, at least, considered her to have a good, maybe even rightful, claim to the throne. Silmariën also probably commissioned the creation of other precious heirlooms to survive into the Fourth Age: the Sceptre of Andúnië, which after the Downfall became the Sceptre of Arnor, and the Star of Elendil, which likewise became a token of royalty in Arnor.

Queens Of Numenor - Tar-Telperien by ~shyangell

Tar-Telperiën (S.A. 1320–1731, r. 1556–1731) was the tenth ruler and second Ruling Queen of Númenor. She succeeded her father, King Tar-Súrion (who was King either because his two elder sisters had no interest in ruling, or because they had been forced to surrender their claims in youth by Tar-Ancalimë).

Tar-Telperiën ruled for 175 years. During her reign, the Rings of Power were forged, and Sauron conquered Eriador. She appears to have done little to react to these events. She refused to marry and bore no children. She was succeeded by Tar-Minastir, the son of her younger brother, Isilmo (who it is presumed was already dead). According to Tolkien’s “The Line of Elros,” she died in year 1731 of the Second Age at the age of 411 years. However, this conflicts with material published in The Lord of the Rings, and elsewhere, stating that Tar-Minastir was king at the time of the Númenórean intervention against Sauron in the year 1700 of the Second Age.

Queens Of Numenor - Tar-Vanimelde by ~shyangell

Tar-Vanimeldë (SA 2277 - SA 2637, r. SA 2526 - SA 2637) was the 16th ruler and third and last ruling Queen of Númenor. She was the daughter and heir of Tar-Telemmaitë. She had little interest in ruling, loving rather culture and the arts such as music and dance, however, and left the day-to-day chores of monarchy to her husband, the nobleman Herucalmo. Her name means “Beautiful Beloved”.

Tar-Vanimeldë ruled for 111 years. When she died in 2637 of the Second Age at the age of 360 years, the Kingship should have gone to her son, Tar-Alcarin, but Herucalmo usurped the throne and ruled for twenty years as King Tar-Anducal. His rule was not considered legitimate, and in the official records Vanimeldë was directly followed by Alcarin.

Tolkien's Women and Beauty

It’s true, the vast majority of Tolkien’s women are described as especially beautiful. I think this is mainly a product of the fantastical nature of Tolkien’s stories (because Tolkien’s men are similarly unrealistic, as the vast majority of them are described as mighty warriors.) But, there are a couple exceptions:

The most obvious exception to the “all the female characters are beautiful” rule are the spiders. Ungoliant and Shelob are both described as being especially horrid and ugly (even for giant spiders.) This is generally seen as a reflection of their evil character (similar to Gollum’s ugliness.) As they are giant spiders and not humanoid, they don’t really count. But there are so few female characters that it’d be silly to ignore them.

The real exception is Nerdanel, Feanor’s wife. And it’s not said that she’s ugly, per say, but it is said that “Feanor wedded Nerdanel, a maiden of the Noldor; at which many wondered, for she was not among the fairest of her people. But she was strong, and free of mind, and filled with the desire of knowledge." I’ve always taken this to be a polite way of saying that she was "plain" - I can’t imagine an elf actually being ugly, but of course some of them had to be less beautiful than the others. Interestingly enough, Nerdanel’s lack of beauty isn’t important to the story at all, and it isn’t some physical reflection of her character - other than this one comment, she’s described as being a pretty fantastic lady. Thus making her an important exception to the "only evil women are ugly" argument.

The only other thing I have to add to the beauty discussion is that beauty is a social/cultural construct - different features will be considered beautiful to different people. For example, take dwarf women: to men and elves, a woman with a beard, who looks pretty much identical to dwarf men, might not be considered beautiful. But on the other hand, the beardless women of the elves and men may not be considered beautiful to dwarves. So, while from Tolkien’s point of view most of his women were gorgeous, this isn’t a absolute rule.
