Basic Info
Name:Kanafinwe Makalaure, son of Feanaro
Bio
Maglor is the second son of Fëanor and Nerdanel. He was the greatest poet and bard of the Noldor and was said to have inherited more of his mother's gentler temperament.

Maglor is a Sindarin rendering of his Quenya mother name Macalaurë, which means "Gold-cleaver" — possibly alluding to the power of his voice. (He was also known as "Strong-voiced".) The meaning behind Maglor's father name, Canafinwë, is uncertain, but probably contains the prefix kana/o (commanding) + Finwë.

As with the other Sons of Fëanor, Maglor was bound by an oath to recover his father's Silmarils, which had been stolen by the Dark Lord Morgoth. This oath took the seven brothers to Middle-earth during the First Age where they established realms in exile, waged war against the armies of Morgoth, fought their own Elvish kind, and eventually brought ruin upon themselves.

After the War of Wrath, he and his last surviving brother, Maedhros stole the two remaining Silmarils taken by the Valar from Morgoth, even though initially Maglor tried to dissuade his older brother from doing this. But because of the evil deeds committed by the brothers to regain the jewels, they burned in Maglor and Maedhros's hands. Unable to bear the suffering, Maglor cast his Silmaril into the sea. Thereafter he wandered along the shores of the world, singing laments over the loss of the jewel, until he faded from memory.

The above text is adapted from the entry about Maglor from the Wikipedia. I play Maglor as from long after canon; he has been wandering the world for countless aeons now and Has Seen It All.

The three icons with drawings on, not an actual human PB, are adapted from drawings by fan artist Jenny Dolfen ([info]goldseven), whose work is found at goldseven.de.


Maglor is from "The Silmarillion" and is the property of the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien. He appears here solely for the purpose of role-playing in [info]milliways_bar, from which no profit whatsoever is being made.
