I love this Ilmare! Beautiful yet sort of creepy, giving off a powerful and dangerous vibe.

A reminder that Thranduil’s mount used to actually exist.
“The Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus)[1][2] is an extinct species of deer in the genus Megaloceros and is one of the largest deer that ever lived. Its range extended across Eurasia, from Ireland to northern Asia and Africa. A related form is recorded from China during the Late Pleistocene.[3] The most recent remains of the species have been carbon dated to about 7,700 years ago in Siberia.[4] […] The Irish Elk stood about 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) tall at the shoulders carrying the largest antlers of any known cervid (a maximum of 3.65 m (12.0 ft) from tip to tip and weighing up to 40 kg (88 lb)). In body size, the Irish Elk matched the extant moose subspecies of Alaska (Alces alces gigas) as the largest known deer. The Irish Elk is estimated to have attained a total mass of 540–600 kg (1,190–1,320 lb), with large specimens having weighed 700 kg (1,500 lb) or more, roughly similar to the Alaskan Moose.[16][17][18] A significant collection of M. giganteus skeletons can be found at the Natural History Museum in Dublin.”

😀 A reminder that megafauna in general (and possibly dinosaurs) are canonically a thing in Middle Earth!
Map of Beleriand
I edited together the four-pages that make up the large map of Beleriand in Karen Wynn Fonstad’s The Atlas of Middle-Earth. I also added a bit of color and texture to make it feel more like a map.
This is one of the few times I will asdfghjkl; on my keyboard. I’ve been looking for a complete, one-piece Beleriand map for AGES. Fonstad’s are the best because she places locations not shown on the “official” maps.
Additionally, I always wondered why the Beleriand maps printed in the books always cut out Angband and the North. That’s like cutting out Mordor from the maps in The Lord of the Rings. I never quite understood why.
I kept going back to the stupid map in the book like “but where IS Thangorodrim??? Where is Angband, I know where all these stupid little places are…it MUST be there…” How much of my life did I waste assuming the map made sense. I dread to think.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to drag that shit ass excuse of a map from the published Silmarillion, and bless our lady of cartography, Karen Wynn Fonstad…
