Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man
Your sword is long, your lance is keen, your shining helm afar is seen
But into darkness fell your star, Jolene
Long ago you went away, and where thou dwellest none can say,
In Mordor where the shadows are, Jolene.
The last whose realm was fair and free between the mountains and the sea
Gil-galad was an Elven king, Jolene

@secondageweek ⁕ day 1: elves; ereinion gil-galad
Gil-galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing;
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven’s field
were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away,
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fall of Gil-Galad

- A white peacock
- A painting of a golden crown adorned with green and white jewels
