Hey guys, don't know what is being done on the Pedia side of things, but just wanted to get things rolling faster.
Here is just an example of what I am doing at the moment, in concerns with the Pedia. Just some basic descriptions for the races of LOTR. This one is for the secret elvish creed known as: 'The Avari', tell me what yah guys think
.
NOTE - This is just a diluted version, the actual thing (for the other races aswell) will be much more detailed, and in depth, especially for the 'known history' section.
The Avari (80% Done)
Dates: Awoke before the first age. - 1 to c.I 583.
Race: Elf
Division: Avari (Lang. Quenya)
Pronunciation: A’varee
Land(s): Throughout Middle-Earth, Beleriand.
Meaning: “Those who refused the summons”. “Those that departed” (Lang. Quenya)
Other Names: ‘The Unwilling, Dwellers of Forest’
Titles: … “The Dark”… “The Unwilling” … “The Wild”.
Description:
Out of all the different creeds of Elves. The Avari are the least known of or understood, originally branching from both the Tatyar and Nelyar clans, the Avari is a creed of mixed Elvin blood. Often migrating throughout the wild lands of Middle-Earth the Avari are a private creed. Though maintaining the general culture of other Elvin divisions, the Avari are looked down upon as being 'wild', 'unruly' or even a 'dark' creed of Elf. As they refused to listen to the Ainur, and did not see the light of Valinor. They are very mysterious and are said to be the reason for the existence of the Orcs' as a result of Avari being corrupted by the evil Ainu: 'Melkor', during ancient times. Other Elven peoples tend to keep their distance from the Avari for this reason, and tend to exclude their name when listing the history of the Elvish race.
Known History:
When the elves were commanded by the deity Oromë to follow him to the immortal lands of Valinor, all of the Minyar obeyed, followed by the Tatyar and Nelyar clans. However some elves from the Tatyar and Nelyar houses who did not trust the ‘Lords of the West’, and thus remained behind in the lands of Middle-Earth. There, the Avari kept to themselves and eventually spread throughout middle-earth sometimes trading or mingling with Dwarfs and Men.
Language:
The Avari language is believed to be very complex and great in number, due to the many dialects inside the Avari language. The Avari have been reported to have invented their own 'secret' sub-languages, which they use to great effect. However, the Avari are able to understand the Eldarin tongue, which is the reason why many still believe that the Avari speak Eldarin as their mother language. Due to their ‘dealings’ with both Men and Dwarfs, there are many Avarin based words found in both Dwarfern and the language of Men.
