Elves (Middle-earth): history, description, names

John Tolkien is best known for his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Its plot develops in the vastness of a fictional world inhabited by different races, including elves. Middle-earth, thanks to the efforts of the author, has received a rich history. Elven people play a key role in it.

Contrary to popular stereotype, Tolkien is not the creator of the elves. He borrowed this image from Germanic and Scandinavian pagan myths. In them, the elves are the spirits of the forest. From there, Tolkien took the dwarves and other characters of his fictional world.

The writer supplemented the mythological image with his own ideas. In Tolkien, the elves became a rational, powerful race. Representatives of this people are outwardly similar to people, but have their own characteristics. Elves live so long that, by human standards, their lifespan approaches infinity. However, they can be killed by force, and in this they are no different from humans. In Tolkien's world, there are no such ailments that elves could get sick with. Middle-earth is home to many peoples, but it is this race that is distinguished by the sharpest sense, sight and hearing.

According to the chronicles that Tolkien left, elves appeared in his world long before people. Chronologically, this event belongs to the First Age. The elves were awakened by the gods before the sun and moon were created. So they woke up under a clear starry sky.

Elves originally appeared in Middle-earth. At this time, the world was inhabited by the ancient gods of the Valar. They called the elves to Valinor - a mythical country that was radically different from Middle-earth. It was at this moment that a single people was divided into clans. Some of them agreed to go to Valinor, others remained in their native land.

During the Second Age, an elven state was created, which was located in Mirkwood. It appears in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Interestingly, the names of the elves of Middle-earth have several pronunciations. The fact is that Tolkien was a linguist by education. He taught at universities and was interested in creating artificial languages ​​that were the quintessence of the languages ​​of different human cultures. The author of The Lord of the Rings wanted to create a realistic world in which representatives of each nation would have not only their own culture, but also an dialect. For the elves, Tolkien created several languages ​​at once, including Quenyu and Sindarin. Their use depended on belonging to a particular clan of this numerous people.

For each language, Tolkien created his own phonetics, grammar, and other usage rules. The names of the elves of Middle-earth were written depending on what dialect the speaker spoke.

The author of The Lord of the Rings and the story The Hobbit has written many books dedicated to his fictional world. Many of them can be characterized as chronicles that tell the story of Middle-earth and its inhabitants. Elves Tolkien paid a lot of attention. He talked about their life and habits not only in his works, but also in working correspondence with colleagues.

The immortality of the elves was also complemented by their biological ability to quickly heal their own wounds. If a representative of this people did die (for example, in battle), then his soul went to the Halls of Mandas in distant Valinor. This was necessary in order to be cleansed of all the worldly evil that haunted the elf during his life in Middle-earth. After the spirit of the deceased went through the purification procedure, he again received a body that outwardly resembled the one he had in a past life. Theoretically, the elf could return to Middle-earth, but in practice no one did this, preferring to remain in Valinor. The only exception was the character Glorfindel, who appeared on the pages of The Lord of the Rings. His name completes the list of elves of Middle-earth who participated in the war against Mordor. At the end of the novel, all this people decided to sail on ships back to Valinor.

The reason why the elves left Middle-earth is that after the War of the Ring, which was described in The Lord of the Rings, their physical strength began to gradually fade. The only place where they could continue to live was Valinor - a distant land in which there have never been people.

The kingdoms of the elves existed thanks to the rings, which were powerful magical artifacts. All of them were destroyed, and the last of them was taken to Mordor in Tolkien's main novel. Because of this, the elves had to sail across the ocean, leaving the entire mainland to people.

Those who remained in Middle-earth after the events of The Lord of the Rings degraded more and more over time until they turned into a primitive people inhabiting caves and valleys. They also lost many features inherent in their ancestors - immortality, wisdom. Crafts and arts were forgotten, including music, which was very fond of the elves of Mirkwood.

Originally born in the water, to live in the depths of the world's oceans, elves have changed a lot under the influence of a new environment. By the will of their god Haurvatat, they emerged from the waters to subdue the land. In the course of their development, they have changed greatly from their original form thanks to the help of Amerat and the sidhe. The ancestors of modern elves still live in the depths of the sea and are known as newts or ocean elves. Modern land elves have several varieties, but let's leave the details for now, focusing on the common features that unite the entire elven race.

Physiology

The corporeal shell of the elves outwardly resembles a human, but this is only an external resemblance. Elves have a more flexible bone structure, which is characteristic of human children. Due to this bone structure, elves are less prone to bone injuries and fractures, this makes their bodies flexible and plastic. The main negative effect of such a structure of the skeleton is the inability to critical loads. This doesn't make them weaker or less resilient, it's just that their bodies are incapable of the "miracles" of lifting and holding weights.

The next features of elves are their breathing and metabolism. In one breath, they can renew up to 80% of the oxygen in their lungs, the reserves of one breath last for up to ten minutes. Unlike humans, elves control their heart and can increase or decrease its rhythm at will. In a calm state, the rhythm of the elven heart is 100 beats per minute. With a decrease in heart rate, oxygen consumption drops, metabolism slows down. Accordingly, with an increase in heart rate, metabolism and oxygen consumption increase. If the metabolism is reduced to 0, the elf does not die, but falls into a coma. In the case of favorable external conditions (cold climate, safe place), he can stay in this state indefinitely. Thanks to this apparatus, elves are well adapted to cold climates and are immune to colds. It is worth noting that elves have a well-developed heart, in the absence of physical damage, they never suffer from cardiovascular diseases until old age.

Elves are the first creatures to have what is called cold or "lunar" vision, which allows them to see by the light of the moon and stars as well as other races see by the light of the sun. Daytime vision among elves is developed much worse and is similar to night vision of other races. You can read more about these features of light perception in the corresponding article.

Like most other creatures, elves need sleep. By controlling their metabolism, elves can regulate how long they sleep. Most elves slow their heart rate down to 10 beats, allowing the body to rest faster and improve the quality of sleep. An outside observer may decide that the elf is dead, since in this state he practically does not breathe. It is very difficult to wake up from such a dream, the awakened elf will be lethargic and inactive until he restores his heart rate. If necessary, elves are capable of normal or light sleep, during which more time is required to restore the body. It is worth remembering that when the metabolism slows down, the recovery from wounds and diseases slows down, so it is not recommended for the sick and injured to slow down the metabolism. Elvish longevity is the result of a harmonious combination of a developed body restoration system and a high vitality.

In the course of their life, elves consume a lot of liquid and little fiber. Compared to a human, an elf needs half as much protein and carbohydrate food, but the need for fluid increases proportionately (see elven metabolism). Elves do not digest solid food well, it can be digested for up to several days and cause indigestion. The best foods are: cereals, soups, stews, soft fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, blood, wine, milk, etc. Meat is better digested boiled or raw, fried meat is contraindicated.

As for the system of reproduction and maturation, it is close to the human one. All elf nations mix easily and can produce viable non-sterile offspring. The child receives the main signs of the mother, the influence of the father is less significant and is expressed in appearance, and not in physiology. The gestation period for elves depends on nationality and ranges from 10 to 26 months, repeated births are possible after the body is completely restored, which takes about ten times longer than bearing a child. In most cases, one child is born, twins are very rare, but also happen. A newborn elf differs little from a human child, the periods of body growth, puberty, social adaptation and aging depend on a particular nation. Unlike humans, elves begin to experience the negative effects of aging only towards advanced age. Aging is expressed in heart defects and weakening of vitality. During this life span, elves are prone to deep melancholy and cease physical activity almost completely. Death itself comes from cardiac arrest. During the next slowdown in the heart rate, the elf falls asleep and does not wake up again.

Appearance

All land elves hail from northern Amroth. Despite the fact that in the process of their settlement they acquired their own national characteristics in appearance, the Amrot type is fundamental. The growth of elves ranges from 1.7 to 2.2 meters, while women (on average) are half a head shorter than men. Elves do not tend to be corpulent, as food requirements are quite modest for their size and there is no need for large fat reserves. Because of their skeletal structure, even the strongest elves have less broad shoulders than humans of similar height and strength, and tend to be wiry and lean. Elves are known for their slender and well-proportioned bodies, women have relatively small breasts, as their newborns develop more slowly and are less demanding on nutrition than human children. The structure of the skull differs little from the human one, the main difference is the narrower bones of the jaw and cheekbones, the external auditory canal is wider and continues up the temporal bone. As for the face itself, due to the small amount of subcutaneous fat, its features seem sharp and sharp, some consider elves "bony". The elves have an original structure of the ears, in length they go beyond the temporal bone and reach the bone of the crown, tapering to a pointed leaf-like shape. From the point of view of the perception of sounds, due to the large number of receptors and nerve endings, this structure of the ears is more perfect than the human one. A typical elven eye color is blue, less often turquoise. Initially, the elves just did not have hair, having perfectly smooth skin. Hair on the head appeared already after the intervention of Amerat and the sidhe, as a by-product of their "transformation" into land creatures. Typical hair colors have become: shades of chestnut, black and shades of red. Old elves have white, gray and other light shades.

Aldar

The first Aldars were the elves, who decided to get rid of the dependence of all the elves on large sources of water and chose the patronage of Amerat along with Khairvatat. They began to revere Amerat, even above their father Khaurvatat, and received a special blessing from her, giving them good health, longevity and fertility. Abandoning the civilization of the elven port cities, they replaced it with the simple pleasures that nature bestows. Later, elves, tired of endless civil and world wars, began to replenish the ranks of the Aldar. They hid in the forests, forming small communities leading an isolated lifestyle. Many young Aldar, weighed down by the slowness and regularity of their existence, leave to serve elven lords, but usually return to their native settlements if they live to adulthood. The Aldar have permanent and mobile settlements in the forest regions of Amroth and Lyrkon. They can also be found serving in the security forces of most surface elven states, but most amroth are uncomfortable on the surface.

Alvery

Ambassador of Alvers

The Alvers are a nation formed as a result of the mixing of the indigenous Amroth population of the island of Alveron with refugees from the repressions of Lot (the old Amroth aristocracy of the Sidhe and their descendants). As a result of this mixing, today, almost every Alver has the blood of one of the seven original sidhe. Their permanent monarch - Alver, did a lot for the development of his country, turning it into a pearl of elven civilization. Some of his reforms were revolutionary and made it possible to make a qualitative leap in the development of science, culture and magic. Thanks to his efforts, the Alveri are the most educated and culturally developed nation in the entire Cosmos. The Alvers are reluctant to leave Alveron, outside of it live mainly invited experts and those objectionable to Alver.

Arana

Aran prince

Initially convicts, the Arans underwent an amazing metamorphosis in the process of their formation as a nation. For centuries, arans have been waging a merciless war with dragons, trying to expand their habitat. Due to the constant epidemics caused by the bioweapons of the green dragons, the arans were subjected to a kind of natural selection, which ensured the survival of the elves with the strongest immunity. The constant fight against epidemics forced the arans to develop medicine to such a level that it works miracles comparable to magic.

Xyltars

xyltarca

Underdark elves who live in the southwest of the Underdark in tunnels created by the goddess Xylrae. The Xyltar are notorious for their cunning, with their entire culture built on an art of intrigue. Like the arans, the xyltars have made great strides in the field of alchemy, but they are primarily interested in poisons and drugs, which are among their main exports.

The Xyltars do not have a single ruler, but there is a so-called. House Rating. To understand what status this or that aristocratic House currently has, only the Xyltars themselves can. The seeming chaos of Xiltar society is a delicate web of pacts, alliances, traditions, intrigues, and betrayals. Power is shared between the great and small Houses, as well as the temples of Xylrae and her children. Trading houses, houses of mercenaries, schools of magicians and warriors have some influence.

Xyltar society is dominated by matriarchal ways, with the more favored Xylrae priestesses and matriarchs ruling over the aristocratic elf houses. Despite the dominant role of women, male xyltars, contrary to rumors, are not second-class creatures and traditionally hold positions in "state" organizations: the House of Shadows (the head of intelligence is considered the high priest of Gelas), the Magic Academy (the head is appointed by the high priestess of Xylrae) . A characteristic feature of all Xyltars is a penchant for intrigue, often turning into outright treachery.

Names

The Xyltars use a combination of a personal name and the name of their house, typical of elves.

Male names

Shireylin, Baylin, Sargonar, Dra "gar, Vaetar, Kratil, Zherigar

In the elven world, once masterfully invented by J. R. R. Tolkien, it is possible to believe and fall in love at first sight. The history of the birth of this world, realistic images of heroes, the diverse gamut of the language of fabulous races - everything is so thought out that it seems as if elves really once existed on earth. They were stunningly beautiful, proud and possessed great knowledge that people would never reach.

In various fantasy epics, you can often find a story in which a person was fascinated and in love with an elf. Beautiful elves bore female elven names, unusual for human hearing. And each name was not just a set of sounds. At one time, Tolkien came up with the Elvish language: its spelling, sound and rules of use. It should be noted that this language is not one, it is divided into many dialects: Sindarin, Quenya, Common Eldar, Black and others. Many fans of Tolkien's work seriously study the Elvish language, since most of the names of the elves consist of various parts of the Elvish words.

Elvish female names ending in "-e"

The rules for naming are very simple. Elvish female names are compiled according to the algorithm: elvish word (adjective or noun) + suffix + ending. So, the female name should end with “-e”, while the male name ends with “-on”. For example, the female name Ancalime, which means "The Brightest" or the name Mirime, means "Free": Mirim + e. And others Irime (beautiful), Laurindie (golden heart), Eldalote (elven flower), Ainulindale (Ainur music), etc.

Elvish names ending in "-iel"

Female elvish names are not limited to only one ending. There are a huge number of suffixes and endings that can be added to an Elvish word. The ending “-iel”, which means daughter, is very common among the majestic people. For example, female elven names ending in "-iel": Eariel (daughter of the sea), Isiliel (daughter of the moon), Tinuviel (daughter of twilight), Lairiel (daughter of summer) and so on.

Among other things, female elven names can be formed from one or more words without suffixes and endings, for example: Arwen (Ar + ven - a noble maiden), Idril (sparkling shine), Luthien (enchantress), Nimlot (white flower), Earwen (sea maiden) and others.

When choosing a name, remember that in the history of the elves the same name was never given twice. There is only one Arwen, only one Tinuviel, only one Lúthien. Each name is unique and one of a kind. If you do not have enough imagination to come up with your own elven name, then special programs - name generators will help you.

Runes

Elvish runes served as the main type of writing among the elves. With their help, accumulated knowledge, history and songs were recorded, spells were created, etc. A transcription is provided for elven runes for language learners, which will help you pronounce words correctly.

The most common language is the Sindarin dialect, and therefore Elvish runes of this dialect can be found everywhere. If you remember, in the film "The Lord of the Rings" the image of the inscription on the ring is given in black, which takes its roots from Elvish, but was used by the forces of evil (Sauron and other creatures of Mordor).

Runes not only denote a certain sound, but are also magical symbols like. Therefore, their meaning is also mystical in nature. We must thank Tolkien for the diversity of the Elvish world, since it is he who is the founder of many Elvish (and not only) dialects.
