Out of the deeps of Eä she came to the aid of Manwë; for Melkor she knew from before the making of the Music & rejected him, & he hated her, & feared her more than all others whom Eru made.

Elves hold Varda most in reverence & love. Elbereth they name her & they call upon her name out of the shadows of Middle-earth, and uplift it in song at the rising of the stars.

Watching Rings of Power lately..

Just because I'm huge #Tolkien fan (have read LOTR books at least 10x in the last 30 years) and I remember to have read #Silmarillon twice, I remember it was a complicated mess to keep track of all the characters, at some point, you're lost in Elven timescale and that's it, you're doomed as a human to grok it.

now when I'm watching ROP I feel it's like flash scenes of a crazy long complex story that doesn't honor the books, contrary to LOTR
