Después de muchos intentos y pruebas por fin he acabado la primera página. Al final me he decidido por hacer una mezcla entre comic y manuscrito…y que los textos del Silmarillion aparezcan escritos en élfico. Esta página corresponde a justo el principio del capítulo 1 del Silmarillion, citando una parte sería:
“Chapter 1: Of the Beginning of Days
It is told among the wise that the First War began before Arda was full-shaped, and ere yet there was any thing that grew or walked upon earth; and for long Melkor had the upper hand. But in the midst of the war a spirit of great strength and hardihood came to the aid of the Valar, hearing in the far heaven that there was battle in the Little Kingdom; and Arda was filled with the sound of his laughter…”
Salen por orden de arriba a abajo: Morgoth, Tulkas y Yavanna
Ahora me faltará hacer la página simétrica a ésta, la número 2, que espero llegue antes que la primera; XD o no llegaré viva ni al final del capítulo 1…
After many attempts and tests I have finally finished the first page. In the end I decided to make a mixture between comic and manuscript … and that the texts of the Silmarillion appear written in Elvish. This page corresponds to just the beginning of chapter 1 of the Silmarillion, quoting a part would be:
“Chapter 1: Of the Beginning of Days
It was told by the wise that the First War began before Arda was full-shaped, and there was still something that grew or walked upon earth; and for long Melkor had the upper hand.

They leave in order from top to bottom: Morgoth, Tulkas and Yavanna
Now I will need to make the page symmetric to this one, the number 2, which I hope will arrive before the first one; XD or I will not arrive alive at the end of chapter 1 …
Then he glimmering passed to the starless vast As an isled lamp at sea, And beyond the ken of mortal men Set his lonely errantry, Tracking the Sun in his galleon Through the pathless firmament, Till his light grew old in abysses cold And his eager flame was spent The Book of Lost Tales II, The Tale of Eärendel
Here must be told of the custom that when a ship departed from
Númenor over the Great Sea to Middle-earth a woman, most often of the
captain’s kin, should set upon the vessel’s prow the Green Bough of
Return; and that was cut from the tree oiolairë, that signifies
‘Ever-summer’, which the Eldar gave to the Númenóreans, saying that they
set it upon their own ships in token of friendship with Ossë and Uinen.
The leaves of that tree were evergreen, glossy and fragrant; and it
throve upon sea-air.
I love this Númenórean
custom. I love the sea and old-fashioned wooden ships. I love Tolkien’s
Númenórean carpet ornaments. I felt like doing something simple and
bright and summery. And that’s the whole story behind this, really.
