The Songs of Eru and Melkor

Song of Eru 

Known as “The One” and all-powerful 

Eru’s knowledge is most bountiful 

His curious power to bestow life came 

With one imperishable flame 

 

As the supreme being of creation 

Eru is Middle-Earth's singular foundation 

However, he would rarely intervene 

Although he is most keen 

 

Eru possesses unlimited goodness 

While condemning Melkor’s darkness 

He has tried every kind of bad deed 

But Eru will not bend to a bad seed 

 

From the Music of the Ainur, Eru’s resume is vast 

This great music created the universe Eä built to last 

The Ainur entered and shaped the world then 

And later Eru Ilúvatar created his children: the elves and men

Song Of Melkor 

The ultimate rival to the creator 

Corrupting good with an evil greater 

Eru’s Music of the Ainur?  

Oh, challenger Melkor was the leading hater 

 

Forget hope and welcome Melkor’s evil 

He disrupted the Ainur’s music and defied Eru’s will 

Melkor keeps everyone afraid 

Unless you want a heavy price paid 

 

With a rebellious and mighty stance, 

Eru never stood a chance 

Melkor acts how he feels 

Not to help, but to steal 

 

Also known as Morgoth 

Melkor will not stop until every butterfly turns moth 

Soon all light and joy will fail 

And misery will forever prevail

I decided to use peaceful and heaven-like instrumental music for Eru’s song to sound like the voices of Ainur. This music overall sounds very beautiful, harmonious, pure, and evokes an emotional response when listening to it because it is such an angelic blend. I developed the lyrics to Eru’s song by describing him as a creator and possessing an ultimate goodness that opposes Melkor. I also included what he created using his power. On the other hand, I chose very violent and aggressive sounding instrumental music for Melkor’s song to reflect that he is Eru’s complete opposite like good versus bad. It’s chaotic and lacking structure which I think Melkor would like. The lyrics I wrote for his song revolve around his desire to spread evil and defy Eru in every sense.

     My name is Lómelindë and I am one of the elves of the three kindreds known as the Eldar , or the “ S tar-people . ” More specifically, I am of the Vanyar which is “ the fair” and the first kindred of the elves. The other two kindreds are known as the Noldor and the Teleri. We elves first awoke at Cuiviénen and were known as the Quendi , later forming the Minyar , Tatyar , and Nelyar tribes. There was no Sun or Moon, but we did experience beautiful starlight . Music and memory are central to our culture which roots from a world shaped by the Music of the Ainur. In fact, my name literally means singer of the night in our e lvish language Quenya .       The e lves of my kindred and I share similar characteristics like being golden-haired. We are the smallest kindred but the most devoted to the Valar and most beloved by him . Vanyar’s leader is Ingwë who is the first H igh K in g of all the Eldar.

Indor Character Bio

Image
               My name is Indor , a kinsman of Húrin Thalion . I am a m an of the Edain and belong to the House of Hador in Dor- lómin . I take pride in being a part of this house because it is the largest and most renowned of the three houses to help the Elves against Morgoth in The First Age.   My poor daughter Aerin, who is a kinswoman to Húrin , was forced to marry a chief of the Easterling s after Morgoth’s victory in the Battle of U nnumbered Tears ( Nirnaeth Arnoediad ). The Easterling’s name is Brodda and she is stuck with him against her will.   I call him the bully . Brodda  serves Morgoth out of his own self-interest to gain lands and power. Really, Morgoth is just using him like a puppet to punish us Edain who are allied with the Elves. Aerin doesn’t deserve this fate. She is good , as I raised her . I can’t bear to see her mistreated by Brodda . Although she must act obedient , I can tell she is ju...
