In Case Anybody Needs It, The Singular Form Of “Moriondor” Would Seem To Be “Moriondo”

BBEG of our current campaign - lich Tar-Baphon, my GM's @drartslog description

yassification was successful!

oh my, the first humanization in my life

For me, his death was not cynical. I didn’t see a single sign that the creators of the series treated him cynically or wanted to kill him just to shock the audience. This was in the cards from the very beginning. Even with how expected such an ending was for Adar, it is a very, very bitter storyline. As Poppy said – some things simply cannot be dealt with; they are above and stronger than us. This ending is brutal, but it is much more realistic precisely because in epic fantasy, we expect the hero to win, and that’s okay. In this regard, Adar is much closer to the brutality found in non-epic works. It’s terrible, unfair, nightmarish, but life is an unfair and cruel thing. That’s how I see it.

Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless. His life was spent in suffering alongside Morgoth and Sauron; he witnessed how they killed and tormented his children, he was tortured too. For a brief moment, they freed themselves from Sauron's power, and Adar did everything to ensure that Uruks did not fall under his control again. He was ready to turn them against him, to feel their distance and their waning love for him, he was prepared for them to kill him, just so they wouldn’t become slaves again.

He dies right after realizing that the ring could heal him, after a new path opened up for him in alliance with Galadriel. Sauron looks at him and Adar understands that Sauron has won, and that everything that came before was in vain.

This is an absolute, total nightmare and shattering of all hopes.

my dear boy Teo and his beloved Egaeon, who will later turn out to be Nyarlathotep in human guise

here he shows Teo the Ley Lines

no, my boy doesn't know the “PC should never torture” rule

what's with that scar sauron's pointing at on your latest art, does it have a meaning?

Hi, anon! This is the headcanon of @drartslog and mine that Sauron tortured Adar most often in this place, so much that it left a star-shaped scar.

pls

girl: *draws scars more inconspicuously so they don't disfigure the character too much* woman: … HOW ABOUT MAKING IT WORSE

Ah, if anyone is interested, if we take the headcanon of Adar awakening at Cuivienen, he is around 5 900 years old, of which ~288 he was free & happy, and here’s the count

Years of the Trees

lasted 1 500 Valian years OR 14 373 solar years. 14 373/1500; 1 Valian year is ≈ 9,6 solar years (a little less)

Year 1050 Elves awaken at Cuivienen.

30 Valian years of peace (288 solar years) for the Elves.

Year 1080 first Orcs successfully created.

420 Valian years or 4 032 solar years in captivity until the beginning of the First Age.

First Age

lasted 590 solar years (no Valian years anymore)

Second Age, according to the show

is set ~ 1000 years after War of Wrath

288 + 4 032 + 590 + 1000 = 5 910 years old (a little less, as I rounded off the Valian/solar ratio)

The council how else to torture Adar and then comfort him maybe

Just want to shout out to @papugaka @drartslog and @miithriin — I feel synergy with your Adar energy and I am glad to 💓
