Description Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away called Aman Elest, there was a noble elven warrior called Miriteno. He was as bold as wise, as noble as beautiful. And to him were true many men and he lead them wisely.

But once there was a war and whilst leading his men through the darkest of forests, something happened. To this day it is not known, what it was - but Miriteno was found alone with all his true men and friends dead. There he stood amongst their bodies and called forth all gods of Elesgal - and they came. One by one, with none missing. When all had arrived he cursed them - and he cursed them wild and denied everyone of them, as they stood and listened. When he was finally finished, the gods spoke and placed a curse upon him as well, and this is how it went:

To have no soul and walk the mortal paths
To live eternally of the vital of men
To despise his fate
And yet to make others of his kind
To yearn the light of dawn
And never look upon
To hunger and hate food
To yearn and feel no love
To wonder the roads no elves ever take
Doors of the Golden Forest shall be sealed

When silence fell, alone he stood, and cursed. Only a black crow peered at him and giggled.

(Original belongs to my brother Alexander and to the merry folk of Fortuna Elesgalis. Translated and retold by yours truly.)

PS. I am fully aware that the model is blurry etc. But if you had seen from what kind of blurry underexposed too red and grainy stock (yes, my own, and a scrap I have not even submitted) I made this from, then I think you'd appreciate I got it as far as it is.

Those sneaky ravens...and really. When will we learn NOT to deny the gods? It only ends in bad. Elves should totally know better. Bad Miriteno!No lembas for you!

Indeed. If only these elves had ever heard of Tolkien....tsk tsk tsk. And there's no lembas anyways

But the guy (yes, the same on the pic) is playing him so gallantly, wish you could see.

You should tape it! And I should send you my recipe for lembas so that he may be enlightened.

beautiful piece. and love that red i think the blurriness of the model actually enhances the piece as you notice the background more. kind of forces your attention there

Mithgariel In reply to GHOSTWERKZ [2007-04-01 09:18:03 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I noticed that effect.

Red and black have always been my favourite color combination.

Thank you

As it ought to be

I had one hell of a trouble with the model stock, since it actually was underexposed, a way too red and a way too blurry... Well, they say you cannot make bread from shit (or scrap, in this case), but I surely tried. (I really ought to tie the young man up sometime and take some decent pics of him...)

Thank you, dear
