Just some helpful, easily condensed Tolkien lore for myself and others hoping to accurately explore Arda in fanfiction.

I, Silz (as ElwingAndEarendil), was part of the SSG (Silmarillion Survival Guide) team on CouncilofElrond.com which put together a helpful Silmarillion guide for new and old readers alike. This book here is to further that concept and help with all sorts of Tolkien things, including notes in the History of Middle Earth volumes and other published writings.

AFTER the Battle of Five Armies, an elf prince journeys to the north of Middle Earth in search of the mysterious Strider. But to also escape the grief of a 'love unspoken' as well as the oppressive regime of his father, King Thranduil. There among the Dúnedain, Legolas finds friendship, adventure, a sense of humor and a female ranger who is not quite what she seems. Is he fated to forever love another unrequited? And what of the broken relationship with his father, will the prince's choices drive a deeper wedge between them? A classic love story, filled with adventure and intrigue, but ALSO a journey into the unwritten years of the beginning of an epic friendship with Aragorn; all set prior to 'The Lord of the Rings'. *Feb 2018: 2nd in The Middle Earth Awards* *June 2018: 2nd in Arkenstone (The Hobbit) category, The Tolkien Awards* *July 2018: Official Featured Wattpad Fanfiction* *Jan 2019: #3 in Romance Hotlist (181k stories) -0-0-0-0-0- I may have nicknamed this story 'Pride and Prejudice for Elves', our silver-haired princeling has several centuries of repression he needs to work through, as well lighten up - before he can become the elf that we know and love in LOTR! The story is COMPLETE! All votes and comments greatly appreciated. I'd be absolutely thrilled to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery in Middle Earth. The best writing in this story belongs to @GreenScholarTales, who kindly allowed me to weave my romance into her story, 'Starting Anew.' Please go and see her other works and her original series on Wattpad, The Book of Terrus. The beautiful painting on the cover was kindly loaned by the highly talented Irishmellow, see her awesome work at https://irishmellow.deviantart.com/ Copyright: Tolkien owns all the familiar characters, Jackson & Co. own Tauriel and the starting premise, Green Scholar owns several significant events and almost all of the rangers ... but one, Wren, she is all mine!

✨Book 1✨ "We move to reclaim Erebor." Mithrandir stated. Halidien stilled, looking at the back of Mithrandir. Crossing her arms over her chest, "I will not be helping the dwarves. They can go on their own." "They will need your guidance and your ability to fight." Mithrandir said, stopping and turning to her. Noting the sour look across her face and the frown playing at her lips. "No, Mithrandir. There is a dragon in that mountain and unless you have an army, none will survive. I will not die fighting side by side with dwarves." Halidien growled, she would not run from a fight but walking to her death was not something she would do either. And what did she owe to the dwarves, to be running into a mountain with a dragon? "I wish you would have agreed. Halidien, you will go." Mithrandir insisted. "And why would I do that? The dwarves can handle their own problems." "You owe me, and once this quest is over that oath will be fulfilled." He explained, causing Halidien to pale. Hundreds of years ago, Mithrandir had saved her life and she had made an oath to him to help whenever he may need. But the idea of him forcing her to fulfill the oath for this, seemed ridiculous to her. A/N I do not own any character other than Halidien and maybe more if I choose to add more. But probably just Halidien. I'm newer to the fandom so please let me know if I got any facts wrong. I hope you enjoy the story! ✨SET DURING THE HOBBIT MOVIES✨

Lord of the Rings: The Light of Middle Earth [ Legolas ]

30 parts Ongoing

Elanor in Elvish means Sun-Star. Elanor was born when the North Star shined brightly as the sun rose. Elanor is the youngest daughter of Lord Elrond and granddaughter of Lady Galadriel. Elanor has always wondered what it is like outside of the Woodland Realm. Elrond has watched both of his daughters grow he could see how much they remind him of their mother and himself. Arwen is more like their mother Celebrian. Graceful, gentle, full of hope, brave. Elanor is more like her father, Lord Elrond. Passionate, strong, kind, and faithful. When Elanor met Legolas in Mirkwood, they fell in love with each other, but with the enemy still at large and the ring of power lost, Middle Earth is still in danger. As years passed, Middle Earth's lands got darker by the decade until one day a group of dwarves and a hobbit came to Rivendale and started Elanor's journey to the lands of Middle Earth. I don't own anything of Lord of the Rings. I don't own any of the photos, music, etc.
