Carniquessë suppressed a yawn, perched atop the rocky outcrop making up of one of the hidden watchposts scattered all around the plains of Tumhalad. It seemed a morning like many others: sun high in the sky, white clouds rolling lazily in the blue sky and a gentle breeze swaying the blades of grass below.

Artwork: Painting

Ilvanyë as depicted in the First Age, then a soldier of the exiled Noldorin host. This portrait was commissioned by Ilvanyë's family and painted in the days leading up to the Dagor Bragollach in commemoration of what was to be a victory for the forces of Fingolfin, Maedhros, and Finrod, but as history shows, war was rarely ever so simple.

The current whereabouts of this portrait are unknown, but it is presumably lost for all time.
