Royalty of Númenor

Summary:

A collection of headcanons, both visual and textual, regarding the royal house of Númenor.

Notes:

Hello!

This is the beginning of my project of crossposting my Peoples of Arda Edit Series from tumblr to AO3. The series is quite extensive, not yet complete, and largely headcanonical. I aim to cover every character in the Legendarium that I can, including reincorporating many discarded early-concept characters.

I will be posting each of these edits under this pseud, arofili, which is the same as my tumblr url. If you wish to filter this series out in your searches of Tolkien fandom fic, I will be tagging them all as "Peoples of Arda (arofili)" in the additional tags section. If you are receiving a notification because you are subscribed to me as a user, this is not my usual fanfiction, and I will not be at all offended if you're not interested in this content! That is why I'm posting under a pseud, after all; unfortunately, AO3 does not distinguish between pseuds when it comes to user subscriptions.

This project is divided into 8 sections, each with several sub-sections. The sub-sections will be posted as individual works, with each post organized as a chapter; they will then be filed under a series with all the other sub-sections in that section. The full project will be available on this pseud: arofili (starlightwalking).

I take a lot of liberties with my headcanons, and I will explain my creative process in the notes of each chapter. On tumblr, this took the form of "headcanon disclaimer" posts I called Appendices, but it will be more streamlined here.

The original series, as it appears on tumblr, is heavily cross-linked; this version will not be, as it would be simply too much effort to do so.

I have linked Dialux's fantastic fic "a library of all the tears in history" as inspiration, as that story greatly inspired a couple of my OCs!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter 1: Introduction & Family Tree

Notes:

Introduction:

It is important to me that in this project, I distinguish clearly between canon and my headcanons. I have created a lot of OCs for this project and invented a lot of stories for named characters who have very little story to them in canon, and while I am happy to let you borrow those headcanons and characters (with credit), I don’t want to discourage you from doing the same, and I certainly do not want perpetuate misinformation!

I have read the RotK Appendices and the Akallabêth, and skimmed most of HoME; I reference HoME liberally as I expand this project, though I cannot claim to have read each volume in detail. I am deeply indebted to Tolkien Gateway, a fantastic resource that I highly recommend. I have linked to the TG articles for each canon (named) character for you to do your own research on, and so you can distinguish between what is canon and what is my embellishment and/or headcanon. (I’ve also linked to my blog’s tag for each of my OCs, though it’s likely many of them will only contain the edit they appear in.)

Where I do embellish upon canon, I often pull from translations of the characters’ names to give them a bit of personality or at the very least, an occupation or hobby. Other headcanons are inferred from characters’ familial relationships or made up wholecloth.

Most everyone’s wife is an OC, because unfortunately, while Tolkien was clear on how the Line of Elros leads to Aragorn through the (mostly) paternal line, he was not so considerate of the many unnamed wives, mothers, and daughters who also contributed to the effort of keeping Elros’ blood alive.

For the most part, I have given the men who have named descendants wives, but it is important to note that there is (usually) nothing stated at all about the other partner involved in the continuation of the family, and it would not be non-canonical to give them a husband or nonbinary spouse instead, or to not include marriage as a part of that relationship. Anything is fair game, and just because these people are assumed to have been married cis women doesn’t mean they have to be.

My OC names are made with help from RealElvish.net and Parf Edhellen.

~~~

Each "family tree" section of this project will have a text-based lineage or organized list of characters that will appear in the edit. Italicized names indicate the character is an OC or that the name is a headcanoned epessë for a canon character. This part of the project was previously just part of my personal organizational notes.
