In a great hall with pillars hewn out of the living stone sat the Elvenking on a chair of carven wood. On his head was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was come again. In the spring he wore a crown of woodland flowers. In his hand he held a carven staff of oak.
Drums rolled and fire leaped up. The great doors of the Black Gate swung back wide. Out of it streamed a great host as swiftly as swirling waters when a sluice is lifted. The Captains mounted again and rode back, and from the host of Mordor there went up a jeering yell. Dust rose smothering the air, as from nearby there marched up an army of Easterlings that had waited for the signal in the shadows of Ered Lithui beyond the further Tower. Down from the hills on either side of the Morannon poured orcs innumerable. The men of the West were trapped, and soon, all about the grey mounds where they stood, forces times ten and more than times ten their match would ring them in a sea of enemies. Sauron had taken the proffered bait in jaws of steel.
And here he was, a little halfling from the Shire, a simple hobbit of the quiet countryside, expected to find a way where the great ones could not go, or dared not go. It was an evil fate.
Después de muchos intentos y pruebas por fin he acabado la primera página. Al final me he decidido por hacer una mezcla entre comic y manuscrito…y que los textos del Silmarillion aparezcan escritos en élfico. Esta página corresponde a justo el principio del capítulo 1 del Silmarillion, citando una parte sería:
“Chapter 1: Of the Beginning of Days

But in the midst of the war a spirit of great strength and hardihood came to the aid of the Valar, hearing in the far heaven that there was battle in the Little Kingdom; and Arda was filled with the sound of his laughter…”
Salen por orden de arriba a abajo: Morgoth, Tulkas y Yavanna
Ahora me faltará hacer la página simétrica a ésta, la número 2, que espero llegue antes que la primera; XD o no llegaré viva ni al final del capítulo 1…
After many attempts and tests I have finally finished the first page. In the end I decided to make a mixture between comic and manuscript … and that the texts of the Silmarillion appear written in Elvish. This page corresponds to just the beginning of chapter 1 of the Silmarillion, quoting a part would be:
“Chapter 1: Of the Beginning of Days
It was told by the wise that the First War began before Arda was full-shaped, and there was still something that grew or walked upon earth; and for long Melkor had the upper hand. But in the midst of the war a spirit of great strength and hardness came to the aid of the Valar, hearing in the far heaven that there was battle in the Little Kingdom; and Arda was filled with the sound of his laughter … “
They leave in order from top to bottom: Morgoth, Tulkas and Yavanna
Now I will need to make the page symmetric to this one, the number 2, which I hope will arrive before the first one; XD or I will not arrive alive at the end of chapter 1 …
