It was cold here, upon Taniquetil. The air was thin, and the snow on the peak never melted. The wind didn't blow. It was peaceful, serene – a white silence stretching through the halls of Ilmarin. There, high above all, Manwë sat on his throne, and his sight was directed to the east. The threat to Middle-earth has been destroyed. The
Of Names and DecisionsFair child without sorrow
Is your life hollow,
Noldorin prince?
Dreams are just small seeds
Adventures, great deeds
Ripen long since…
A burning fire
That’s your desire:
Onwards without wince

In the light of Two Trees
Noon of Valinor's bliss
Golden-haired child
Over the wide sea, though
Lie the lands you don't know
Distant and wild
Oh, eager child...

***
Faithful and steady
Is you oath ready,
Nargothrond’s king?
Reaping the visions
Of your decisions
Darkness will sink
For the oath spoken
Echoes unbroken
Loyalty true
A new hope is born
Grief of those who mourn
Up to sky flew
New day is coming
Dawning in blue
Shadows of Nan ElmothO golden cage of Gondolin,                 is covetousness a crime?
Behind the bars a bird                       felt freedom for first time
Aredhel Ar-Feiniel                                    and Eöl, elven smith
Found wonder in the woods,    between branches didn’t breathe
As she in the shade stood                  he saw her beauty bloom
Love piercing as a lance                         in the gathering gloom
Her freedom loving heart                   in shadows shimmers light

...a long story.
First I just wanted to draw something for #BiowareFanClub, because I usually don't join groups when I have nothing to submit to them. I just watch in that case... but because of that, I couldn't win their trivia game ([link]) despite being the first to answer correctly. So I joined the group (although I doubt I'll have the chance to win something again), and, to be true to my rules, here is an artwork for it :)

But then I saw that my favourite Dragon Age comics In Peace Vigilance is celebrating its 200th page - , so I'm dedicating this picture to :iconabadir: and Ewan.

Ah, you mean with him? You can romance him in the game, and when he says this line, the talking is over, and he's going to kiss you :D
