Medieval Europe c.950-1300 AD to scale with Middle-Earth TA 3018. The angle of Europe’s map was adjusted to place Pelargir on a longitude with Troy and to account for longitude. Here Corsica lies neatly in Belfalas, the Kingdom of Sicily in South Ithilien, Harondor, Nurn, and Near Harad; Ireland between the Lhûn and the Sea, and Britain Arthedain and Cardolan.

Day 2: Nienna, Lady of Mercy
“She is acquainted with grief, and mourns for every wound that Arda has suffered in the marring of Melkor. So great was her sorrow, as the music unfolded, that her song turned to lamentation long before its end, and the sound of mourning was woven into the themes of the World before it began.”
Day 4: Maglor, the Mighty Singer
“It is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him; and he cast it at last into the Sea, and thereafter he wandered ever upon the shores, singing in pain and regret beside the waves.”

Ingwë Ingweron | The High King of all the Elves
Ingwë is the King of the Vanyar and the High King of all the Elves. He was the leader of the first Kindred of Elves of the Vanyar tribe and his name means “first one, Chief” in Quenya.
Ingwë was reckoned as High King of all the Eldalië, the Elves of the Great Journey, and because of this he is called Ingwë Ingweron, the “Chief of the Chieftains”. He lived in Taniquetil, ruling from beneath Manwë High King of Arda.
