importance and meaning of the tree. That finally made her stop, but also since then the White Tree became their special place and they'd spend many hours together sitting under its leaves. That's a big part of why the tree is so special to Míriel.

Day 10 - Númenor headcanon (trop)

As a child, Míriel would often climb Nimloth even tho her father had told her a million times not to do it. One day, a branch breaks and she falls (nothing too serious), and that of course earns her a very long speech from her father about the +

she didn't love Gimilkhad, but he was a piece of shit) so of course she was going to be overjoyed when he had a little girl. And in my hc Míriel loses her mother very young, so Inzilbêth was there to fill that role. All this makes this parallel hurt even more:

There was a lady Inzilbêth, renowned for her beauty, and her mother was Lindórië, sister of Eärendur, the Lord of Andúnië in the days of Ar-Sakalthôr father of Ar-Gimilzôr. Gimilzôr took her to wife, though this was little to her liking,

only [born in the year 31 1 7], whom he named Miriel in the Elven-tongue; and to her now by right and the laws of the Númenóreans came the sceptre. But Pharazôn took her to wife against her will, doing evil in this and evil also in that the laws

Day 9 - Númenor headcanon (text)

This actually is for both text and trop but I imagine Míriel being really close to her grandmother Inzilbêth. Inzilbêth had lived a not very happy life, forced to marry Ar-Gimilzôr, and her only solace was probably her son Inziladûn (not that +

Míriel leans towards a way of thinking that centers Númenor more and could find a few common grounds or at least certain compromises with the other side (again, with her ideas remaining essentially and strongly Faithful), but that's a conversation for another day.

Tar-Míriel's wife 💍 @islandofnumenor.bsky.social · 4d

she wasn't differentiating between Faithful and King's Men, but her beliefs as one of the first do mark every word. It's not the same discourse on númenórean pride we hear from the King's Men, specially in context. I do think, however, that always inside the Faithful beliefs +

blood of their kin", it gives them an identity of their own. Specially for the Faithful, who are hated by the King's Men for being "elf-lovers": here they're defined not by their allegiance to the Eldar and the Valar but as the heirs to the ideals that built their island. Yes, +

Day 7 - Favourite Númenor quote (trop)

I know I used this speech for day 3 but it just perfectly defines her character, specially as leader, and it encapsulates the spirit of old Númenor. Paired with her "our ancestors were not given anything, they paid for this isle with the +

Míriel saying "There is a fateful hour in the destinies of men. An hour of judgement in which each one of us, everyone, most decide who we shall be."

Are our hearts become as the statues that surround our island? Or do they best with the blood of the heroes that carved them?

Is our valour confined to the graves of our slumbering fathers?

Or is it hate amongst us even now, waiting to burst forth as the rising sun?

Day 6 - Favourite Númenor quote (canon)

Look, being a Tar-Míriel fan is very difficult. In the Akallabêth we only have when it's said she was supposed to inherit the throne but was usurped and this, so it's going to have to be this. Fairer than silver or ivory or pearls 🥲💙

And last of all the mounting wave, green and
cold and plumed with foam, climbing over the land, took to its bosom Tar-Míriel
the Queen, fairer than silver or ivory or pearls. Too late she strove to ascend the
steep ways of the Meneltarma to the holy place; for the waters overtook her, and
her cry was lost in the roaring of the wind.
