It might come as a surprise for some, but yes, I do know that Sindarin is not a citrus fruit. I have read Prof. Tolkien's work, and while I love to play in my alternative universe, I try to stick to canon where ever possible. I also try my best to have some kind of logic in the relationships and original characters. This family tree is for you, dear readers, to find your way through the jungle of the rather complicated family structures of the Elves, and also for me, because I have the low-attention span of a trout and would possibly forget half of my characters if I couldn't look them up somewhere. If you haven't read my stories, you might want to skip this one, though, as it's one big spoiler. Original characters and alterations of canon are marked in red to avoid confusion. If you find a typo or a wrong information in the canon part, please drop me a line. |

I have no idea how many children they had. But I liked the idea of Aragorn having to chase off suitors for no less than six daughters. |

Rabbit, Bramble and all Mordorian Plains Elves belong to the wonderful Magic Rat. Frost and her other OC are not listed here because they don't exist in "my" universe. |
THE VALAR |
According to Tolkien, there were 14 Vala (Manwë, Varda, Ulmo, Yavanna, Aulë, Nienna,
Oromë, Estë, Námo/Mandos, Vairë, Irmo/Lórien, Vána, Tulkas and Nessa), or 15, if you count The Vala Formerly Known As Melkor among them (which I do). In my universe, you will find a sixteenth Vala - Finwë, the brother of Námo, and the original Vala of Death. Unlike in Tolkien's work, the Námo in my stories is the Middle-earth equivalent to the Grim Reaper. Finwë, on the other hand, used to live among the Elves for a long time (see family tree below). He was wise and good, until he decided one fine day that wise and good was boring and not what he wanted. For his crimes, Finwë was condemned by theVala to live in Middle-earth as an Elf; currently he resides in Tíngel Forest, a rather unpleasant place which you won't find in the books, either. |
The origins of King Thranduil are not known. Nor is the name of Legolas' mother. However, it is no-where mentioned that she died or that Legolas didn't have siblings. It is in fact very likely that he had a lot of sisters and brothers, and that his nana still is at home, doing needlework. Or practicizing archery. Whatever you prefer. And nowhere, in any of Tolkien's books, is Legolas called a "prince". |
Amarië was of the Vanyar. And no children are mentioned anywhere, she also didn't follow Finrod in his exile. But I wanted to give Thrandúil and Amaris some (very!) unexpected background. |
Males don't get pregnant. Sooo... the Magic Rat is the creator of the "original" Elves, a wild, spiritual and hermaphroditic (is this a word?) race. Erestor, so it is revealed along the lines, has a Mordorian Plains Elf grandfather, that's why s/he can have Elflings. So "male pregnancy" might be a little misleading, here. |
