A couple of other lovely details. 1. Eärendil was minded to take the Gift of Men, but allowed his wife to make the choice for the two of them and she chose the Immortality of the Elves. 2. While Eärendil sailed the skies at night after the War of Wrath, Elwing did not join him but stayed in Aman, spending her time in nature and learning the tongues of the birds. She retained the ability to turn into a bird at will so when Eärendil returned each dawn, she would fly up from a great tower in the north of Aman that was her home to meet him on Vingilot, and Elves far away could see her doing so if the cast their eyes in that direction.

Eärendil is obviously a culmination of all the story threads of the Silmarillion, but actually he can be understood as its genesis. Tolkien was writing poems about him reaching "The Shores of Faëry" as early as 1914, long before envisioning the Ñoldor and Morgoth and the rest. In a way, then, the whole of the Silmarillion was worked out backwards to explain that image of Éarendel (early spelling) the Mariner. Why did he sail to the Shores of Faëry. Who was he? The rest is ... legend.

In case someone wants to know: Earendil (as a star in the sky) is basically Venus, the "Morning Star"/"Evening Star". So there are three "light ships" travelling the sky: Vingilot, steered by Earendil with his Silmaril, the ship of the sun (Anar, the last fruit of Laurelin, steered by Arien) and the ship of the moon (Isil, the last blossom of Telperion, steered by Tilion). Sun and moon are more powerful, since they were created by the Valar and are guided by Maiar, but Earendil's light is the light of the last remaining Silmaril, so only his star shines with the uncorrupted light of the two trees.

It’s theorized by some that Elrond has complicated feelings about his father’s choice to not come back for him and Elros. He does call Eärendil his “sire” rather than his father. And he was raised in part by one of the Sons of Feanor that took him prisoner but later took pity and raised Elrond and Elros as his own. Talk about mixed feelings all around for your family situation!

Another amazing video Matt! Eärendil is an absolutely vital and somewhat underrated character in the First Age. It’s thanks to this famous linage that we get so many important characters later on in the legendarium. It’s thanks to him that Middle Earth finally gets some peace even for a short while. The fact that he was able to take down Ancalagon still amazes me.

It seems like Earendil might literally be the main star of Tolkien's works; the first hero he came up with, the inspiration for the Legendarium & its languages, the lynchpin of Iluvatar's Plan, the hero of heroes, present during every story from the 2nd Age on, father to the Line of Kings, whose marriage to Elwing makes that bloodline so special, with all of Arda's most noble in its blood. He brings the First Age all together and sets the stage for how and why The Return of the King works so well as a tale. Earendil, not Manwe, is the anti-Melkor. The Living Light and Savior of the Gods themselves, by literally embodying all Children of Iluvatar... of course! Sheesh... Tolkien... 🤯 Genius.

By the way, when Tolkien was just 20 years old, he stumbled across a sentence from an 8th century anglo-saxon poem: "Eala Earendel engla beorthast | ofer middangeard monnum sended." As far as I know, this was the initial inspiration for him to write a great national epic for England, which would eventually develop into the familiar secondary world of Arda.

Him just sailing away to the West and what is essentially Middle-earth's orbit whilst initially thinking his sons were lost really brings into mind the X-Men spacefaring character Corsair, whose sons became the notable mutants Cyclops and Havok. *A dragonslaying starship.* J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium, a well known if somewhat obscure fantasy and mythical epic saga, literally and figuratively has an spacefaring elven STARSHIP even before the golden age led by Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, George Lucas, Robert Heinlein, and more happened. What more does one need to ask? Also cheeky of Bilbo Baggins to want a song about the guy, whilst in Rivendell in the last years of the Third Age. Do remember that the place is the main haven of said guy's son Elrond, while Aragorn, a distant descendant of Eärendil by blood, had to be the one who fusses about the fact on 3018 TA. Addendum: Wonder if there is a tale about meteor swords somewhere? They're alien enough to be quite fitting a sci-fi theme, but not alien enough that it doesn't feel out of place in any magical fantasy story.
