Eltariel

Eltariel is High Queen of all Elves, High Queen of the Vanyar, Queen of Lothlórien, Leader and Commander of Galadhrim (in Middle Earth).

She was the first Elf to be created by Eru Ilúvatar.

She is the greatest of the Eldar, and surpassed all others in beauty, power, knowledge and wisdom. She is the most powerful Elf in Arda (ahead of Sauron). Eltariel is also the most powerful and skilled warrior in Arda. No one could match her skills. Glorfindel, Elrond and Tauriel have learned everything they know from her.

She is the mother of Glorfindel and Anairë and the aunt of Indis the Fair.

Eltariel is the oldest Elf in Arda.

YEARS OF THE TREES

Eltariel was awoken in Cuiviénen by the divine will of Eru Ilúvatar in the Years of the Trees. Along with Tata and Enel, she awoke twelve other Elves which took her as their lady. From there she founded the Vanyar. Her husband was Ingwë.

Eltariel was the leader of the first Kindred of Elves of the Vanyar clan, and the aunt of Finwë's wife Indis. Her name means "first one, Chief" in Quenya.She became one of the three elven leaders, with Elwë and Finwë, of the first embassy to Aman.

Eltariel became the first of the Vanyar to travel to Valinor with Oromë. Loving its beauty and bliss, she returned to her people and urged them to undertake a journey to Aman. She and her kin were fascinated with the Valar, and they decided not to return to Middle-earth. They stayed and made Eltariel their Queen. The Mindon Eltarieleva in Tirion was built in honor of her. She is the greatest,wisest and fairest of all Elves.

Eltariel was reckoned as High Queen of all the Eldalië, the Elves of the Great Journey, and because of this she is called Eltariel Ingweron; the "Chief of the Chieftains". She lives in Taniquetil, ruling from beneath Varda, Queen of Eä and Arda and Manwë, King of Arda.

She became the High Queen of All Elves and Queen of the Vanyar in 1050 (Years of the Trees). She was crowned by Varda herself. Also, before her corronation, she founded the Realm of Almárëa, beneath Taniquetil, in which all the Vanyar resided. Atop of the Realm was Eltariel's Mansion, Ennorathgiliath.

During Years of the Trees she met Varda also known as Elbereth Githoniel, Lady of Starlight (Creator of the Stars), Leader of the Ainur and Queen of Arda. She learned a lot from her and was loved deeply by Varda. And so Varda gave her a small portion of her power by creating special gear for Eltariel. Eltariel have also been loved and appreciated by the Maiar, some of which have also created special gear for her. In 1408. of Years of the Trees, Ingwë was killed by Sauron and Melkor.She suffered tremendous grief which almost forced her into a withdrawn, introverted state, but she was comforted by Varda,Ilmarë, Arien and Uinen.And thus she held a enourmous grudge toward Sauron and Melkor.

FIRST AGE

When War of Wrath started she came to Middle Earth with the Valar to stand against Morgoth.She was one the Leaders of the The Host of Valinor in battle. Though the war have lasted over 40 years, the most important part of her involment was her succesfull fight against Lungorthin and Sauron. She had destroyed both Sauron and Lungorthin (Lord of the Balrogs). She stood against them alone. Her wrath was so tremendeous that made both Sauron and the Balrog tremble. As soon as Sauron started to raise his arm, Eltariel unleashed the power of Valacirca ( constellation of stars created and gathered by Varda to challange Melkor, also the brightest stars ever created). The brightness of the light was brighter then lightning. Sauron was almost destroyed immediately and over 300.000 orcs were destroyed. Light even hurt Lungorthin, even though he was very far away. Before destroying Sauron, Eltariel said to him "Sauron, worthless snake and servant of Morgoth, your time ends now!.After Sauron was defeated, she went after Lungorthin (The Balrog, Morgoth's personal "bodyguard"). Eltariel transformed into her "witch" form which caused unspeakable and unimaganable fear even in the eyes of Balrog, and also again unleashed the power of Valacirca, she leaped into the air and when she hit the ground the earth shattered,sound of massive thunder was heard, power stronger then lightning hit the earth.Balrog was almost destroyed and she finished him using her swords.

Imin was the third best warrior in Arda. He slayed over 70.000 orcs himself, but during one of the battles he saw Eltariel fight, and he realised that even his skill is not even close to beign comparable to hers. Her fighting was so swift that it is almost impossible to even see her swords. Her bow was impossible to see. And the way she fought, looked more like a mesmerasingly beautiful dance then a fight. After the final battle was over, he saw her again, knelt on his knees, bowed his head and told her: "My Queen, it was an unimaginable honor to fight beside you. I saw the way you fight My Queen and i did not even saw a fight, i saw a mesmerasingly beautiful dance, a dance that i could not even have imagined if i am even allowed to say something like this". She then smiled at him, very gently raised his head, stroked his cheek and she told him:"Of course you are allowed. Your heart is filled with love, devotion, selflessness. Your mind is filled with wisdom,clarity. Your body is filled with strength, skill, swiftness. My daughter could not have chosen a better spouse, a better soulmate, a better love. May your love never fade, may your hearts never cease to burn with desire for one another, may your marriage last forever. Bless you." While she spoked, he felt such warmth and love. It seemed even greater then a mother's love. It seemed like a goddess talking to her beloved creation. After she said: May your marraige last forever, he could see two tears from her eyes, and he felt unimaginable sorrow. He then bowed his head again and told her: My Queen, you know me more then i know myself. I have never heard such wisdom. I do not know how to thank you for your mesmerasingly beautiful words. However, i am felling a tremendous sorrow, because i had seen those two tears from your eyes. I would love nothing more, then to see you happy and joyful my Queen. That is my only wish right now. I am tremendously sorry if i deepend your sorrow with my words, but i have said what is in my heart My Queen". She then smiled even more then before, very gently raised his head, stroked his cheek and she told him:"Oh, you have not sadden my heart, but on the contrary, you made me even happier. May your heart never be troubled and may you only fell happiness all the days of your life. And do not be troubled, because of our parting. We will see each other again. Be blessed". She then very gently kissed his forehead. All the Elves saw their conversation and they all knelt to their knees and bowed their heads, including Imin again. Eltariel then left with a Host of The Valar.

When Eltariel arrived in Almárëa, and then in her mansion Ennorathgilliath, she saw an elf kneeling with his head bowed. He greatly resembled Ingwë. She approached him and then very gently raised his head and realised that it was Ingwë indeed. She lifted him, and the two shared a long kiss.

Imin came back to Tol Eressëa where he was greeted by Anairë. They both felt so joyful. Imin then told her everything about his conversation with Eltariel. Anairë then started crying and she felt a strong desire to see her mother. Imin comforted her, but she decided that she will go to Almárëa. Imin said that he would like to go as well, and she gladly accepted his request.

When they came to Almárëa and climbed to top of the city they were in Ennorathgilliath, Eltariel's Mansion. Everthing was mesmerasingly beautiful and it seemed like they were expected. They climbed to the top of the mansion and they saw Ingwë's throne. However, when they approached it, they could not believe their eyes. All the Valar and the Maiar were there standing before the Throne. They knelt to their knees and bowed their heads. The Valar told them to rise, and they did. When all the Valar and the Maiar moved away they saw Ingwë sitting in his throne.Both of them could not believe it. They approached him,knelt before him and bowed their heads. Ingwe then rose from his throne and spoke and told them very gently: "Please rise". And they did. Anairë then hugged her father and felt unimaginaly happy. After a while she moved back, and her father told her that the Valar, more precisely Varda herself had brought him back (resurrected him). She then knelt before the Valar and the Maiar and bowed her head and thanked them for the deed in a way that was so tremendously sad and joyful at the same time. Then, Varda told them:"Oh, you have nothing to thank us for. You and all the Vanyar are the most blessed, wisest and fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar. You have no flaws, no arrogance, no pride, no selfishness, only the greatest virtues modesty, humility, selfishnessless, love, devotion, composure, gratification, compassion and so many more. It was our duty, to bring your father back, but more importantly to bring joy, happiness and fulfillment to your mother's heart. For she is the greatest, wisest, fairest and the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. She was created first, by Ilúvatar himself. Now, you and all the Vanyar, be blessed forever and ever"! Ingwë then told them:" It is time for you to meet The Queen". After that, they both climed to the top of the mansion and they saw the Eltariel's Throne.As they were approaching it, they saw Eltariel sitting in her Throne. Both of them knelt before her, bowed their heads and Anairë spoked:"My Queen, i missed you unimaginably. Imin told me about your conversation with him, and i felt such saddness in my heart, knowing that your heart is not joyful. However, now when i witnessed that the father has been brought back, i am feeling unimaginable joy, not only for myself, but for you My Queen. Now, i know that your heart is truly fulfilled and joyful." Eltariel then shed a few tears, rose from her Throne, very gently raised her daughter's head, stroked her cheek, lift her and hugged her. After a while, they moved away from each other, and Eltariel told her:"Oh, my beautiful darling, my heart has truly never been happier and more fulfilled. My greatest wish has been fulfilled. You, Imin, and my granddaughter are truly happy, joyous and not troubled by anything. Also please my, beautiful darling, do not call me"Your Queen". Everyone, in Arda, accept the Valar and the Maiar call me that, and they should, but not you my dear. I am your mother, and i love you as my daughter. Now, i will repeat what i have already said to Imin. May your love never fade, may your hearts never cease to burn with desire for one another, may your marriage last forever. May your heart never be troubled and may you only fell happiness all the days of your life. Be blessed both of you, and i give my blessing to my granddaughter as well". She then kissed Anairë's forehead, and then Imin's forehead as well.

During the First Age, Elrond Half-elven was her apprentice. He learned almost everything he knows from her. Great fighting skills and deep knowledge of the world he learned almost entirely from Eltariel. He had a great respect and even adoration of her. He considered her "the wisest, fairest and most powerful of the Eldar". Elrond wanted to give the Elf-Queen a special gift. It was three small chests of treasure, one with gold, one with silver, and one with ruby, emerald and saphire. Eltariel refused to take the gift but Elrond was very persistant so she took two chests, one with gold and one with ruby, emerald and saphire.

SECOND AGE

After the War of Wrath Eltariel returned to Valinor at the request of The Valar, specifically by Varda, and also to continue her rule as the High Queen of the Elves. Around the year 900. of the Second Age, The Valar at their Council in Valinor have asked Eltariel, as the High Queen of all Elves and Queen of the Vanyar also the wisest and most powerful of all the Eldar, if she would like to travel to Middle-earth to help and aid the Free Peoples.She accepted and the Valar gave her their blessing. Varda told her that she does not want her to leave Valinor, because she has already suffered so much and that she wants her to rule and live in peace, but also that she sees that the Free Peoples need aid and guidience.

When she arrived to Middle-earth she firstly settled in the Woodland Realm in Greenwood. King Thranduil ordered a great feast to be held in her honor that lasted for two months. The Elves in Mirkwood have stated that they never saw such beauty before, or heard such wisdom. When Tauriel was still a child, King Thranduil asked Eltariel if she would like to train, teach and guide Tauriel. She gladly accepted. And so Tauriel became Eltariel's apprentice. She learned and took knowledge, wisdom and skill very swiftly. Tauriel deeply loved Eltariel and promised that one day she will repay her properly.

Later, Eltariel settled in Lothlórien and she became the Leader and Commander of the Galadhrim under the rule of King Amdír. She will continue to have this position after Galadriel became the Lady of Lothlórien. Galadriel will name Eltariel her deputy.

THIRD AGE

Eltariel once visited King Thranduil in Woodland Realm in Mirkwood. King Thranduil again ordered a great feast to be held in honor of our Queen. During a feast Eltariel met Tauriel, who was in a position Captain of the Elven Guard in Woodland Realm. She told her that finally she has a chance to give Eltariel her gift. It was a medium size chest of gold, silver and ruby. Eltariel refused stating that guiding and teaching her was an act of pure love and that she never wanted anything in return. Before leaving however, Thranduil gave her big chest of gold, saphire and some of the finest gems that he had, in her honor and also as an act of love and adoration. Eltariel then told Thranduil that she considers him the wisest and greatest Elf King.

Between the events of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Galadriel sent Eltariel to watch over Mordor because after his defeat in Dol Guldur Sauron had fled to Mordor. Eltariel stayed in Mordor until the destruction of the One Ring.

Appearing shortly after the downfall of Minas Ithil, Eltariel showed up as Talion was being corrupted and dominated by the Witch-king of Angmar and the other Nine Nazgûl. She briefly protected a partially corrupted Talion from the Nazgûl, using both blade and Light, before she ultimately struck down Talion herself, in order to prevent him from being claimed by the Nazgûl, and racing off to Celebrimbor's barrows to meet up with the undead ranger again.

Encountering the fallen ranger back at Celebrimbor's barrows, she sharpened his sword, whilst waiting for him to awaken, expressing minor surprise that Talion was indeed capable of returning from the dead, and briefly attempting to question him on how it feels to die and return to life, before Talion urgently inquired about the fate of the city and the Palantir he had attempted to protect, to which Eltariel confirmed the loss of both to The Dark Lord, Sauron.

Whilst conversing with Talion, Celebrimbor noticed her possession of the Light of Galadriel, telling Talion they could use it to recover the ring, assuming that Eltariel like most inhabitants of Middle-Earth were unaware of the Wraiths presence, before she proved him wrong. She inquired about the ring, which Talion explained the purpose of, before realizing the Nazgûl would be drawn to the Rings power. Celebrimbor demanded she hand over Galadriel's Light, to which she strongly rebuffed him, stating that she was willing to use the Light to protect them, but not willing to give it up, before Talion intervened and stated the need to move quickly to stop the Ringwraiths from seizing the New Ring.

She and Talion proceeded to rush to Shelob's cave in order to secure the ring, noting that even Shelob's brood feared the Nazgûl, before arriving in Shelob's domain, whilst an attack by the aforementioned Nazgûl was in progress, in order to secure the ring on orders from Sauron. Whilst Shelob was defending herself, Eltariel began building power with Galadriel's light, leaping into the air before landing hard on the stone floor and causing a massive explosion of light, which both injured Shelob greatly and forced the Nazgûl to retreat from the cave.

After Talion had re-acquired and donned The New Ring, she confronted him about it and urged him to get rid of it. When he refused she told him that she strikes down those that the ring corrupts, and urges him not to become one of them, telling the ranger that they would meet again and continues to press on alone, leaving Talion and Celebrimbor began to build their army, adopting the persona of the "Bright Lord".

As she stated, Eltariel did indeed meet again with Talion, and together they worked to hold the Nazgûl at bay within Mordor. They uncovered attempts by the Nazgûl's "Chosen" to reclaim the purified Haedir which they repelled, intervened before the Ringwraith's could create powerful Orcs known as "Chosen" and raided another ritual again intended to create more "Chosen" though in doing so, she began to disagree with Talion and Celebrimbor.

Eventually Talion and Celebrimbor returned to Minis Ithil, now corrupted and turned into Minas Morgul, where Eltariel joined them, stating that one of the Ringwraith's had retreated there after the three of them drove them from Shelob's cave, stating that all they had managed to do was chase the wraiths off. Progressing through the city and leading Talion and Celebrimbor, during in which the Ranger and Wraith duo dominated a small number of Orcs, they eventually made their way to the upper city, where the Witch-King had secured his dominion with a veil of Shadow, and a Nazgûl in ornate armour descended to confront them on the stairs to the Great Hall, proclaiming that the Witch-King possessed the city, and would soon possess Talion as well.

Working with Talion and Celebrimbor they fought the Nazgûl guarding the Great Hall where the Palantir was kept, and she watched as Celebrimbor and Talion dominated the Nazgûl, later revealed to be Suladân, a once great general of men who became corrupted by a Ring of Power given to him by Sauron.

Later on in her quest to hold back the Nazgûl, Eltariel again saved Talion from being claimed by the raging Nazgûl known as Helm Hammerhand, after the aforementioned Ringwraith attempted to reclaim the fortress in the icy realm of Seregost. Quickly striking the Nazgûl and forcing him to flee, she told Talion that the wraiths injuries would slow him, before inquiring to Talion about his own, before then rushing off to continue her hunt.

Teaming up with Talion they ventured to the icy peaks of Seregost where Hammerhand had fled after Eltariel and Talion repulsed his attempts to reclaim Seregost, and the two defeated the ringwraith. After Talion and Celebrimbor looked inside Hammerhand and saw his past, she witnessed an angry confrontation between the Ranger and the Wraith over Celebrimbor's willingness to stand at Sauron's side when he gave the now fallen Hammerhand the Ring of Power that corrupted and doomed him, and their crafting of a new ring, before she left to continue her quest.

Eventually Eltrariel, with Talion and Celebrimbor, went to investigate some haunted ruins in the realm of Gorgorth, where they discovered that one of the Nazgûl, Isildur, one of the former bearers of the One Ring before being struck down by Orcs, was using necromancy to amass a terrible army of Wights that, as noted by Talion, included fallen soldiers and men (though Eltariel no longer considered them such) that had died at Minas Ithil.

Battle the necromancer, he threatened Talion, claiming either the ranger would join the Nazgûl, or he would die and necromancer would raise him as a puppet, before being repelled and eventually leaving the elf and ranger to fight against a contingency of Wights, which were led by the former (and now undead) general of Minis Ithil prior to betraying the city, (an act which led to its downfall and seizure by the Witch-King and his fellow Nazgûl) Castamir.

After Talion and Celebrimbor had built up a sizeable army and the trio had successfully repelled all attacks by the Ringwraith's and ensured that the Haedir were secure and could not be used to track them, Eltariel, Talion and Celebrimbor joined forces one last time to launch the final attack on Sauron's stronghold, Barad-dûr, and end the Dark Lord's reign over Mordor and save Middle-Earth.

Standing at Talion's side, she heard as Anarion called out to Talion from Barad-dûr, before he went to deliver a rousing speech to the Orc army he and Celebrimbor had amassed, before joining their charge on the bridge leading to Sauron's Dark Fortress, and his final stronghold in Mordor.

Working with the Bright Lord she helped support his Orcs in battle, and later assisted Talion in his fight with Anarion when the Nazgûl returned to again battle Talion, proclaiming that Talion's time had come and they were bound together in their brotherhood. Assisting Talion, Anarion was again defeated, and briefly dominated by Celebrimbor before Talion decided, against the Wraith's wishes, to "release" the Nazgûl, and killed him.

Witnessing an angry confrontation between Talion and Celebrimbor, the former of which disagreed with the latter's method of dominating the Ringwraith's, and his intentions to try dominate Sauron and claim the Dark Lord's armies for his own, Eltariel sided with the Wraith, and was quickly offered the chance to don Celebrimbor's new Ring of Power, becoming his vessel and providing her the chance to end her quest and destroy the threat of Sauron and the Nazgûl once and for all.

Eltariel ultimately accepted, donning Celebrimbor's Ring, causing the Wraith to officially leave Talion's body and become bound with her. This ultimately caused Talion to begin bleeding from old wounds gained from the sacrifice he endured at the hands of Sauron's Black Captains, and, after briefly comforting the ranger as he died, she and Celebrimbor left him for dead on the bridge to Barad-dûr, as they went on to confront Sauron at the top of his tower.

After doing battle with Sauron, she and Celebrimbor worked to dominate the Dark Lord, before Sauron pulled out a short dagger and proceeded to slice off her ring finger, separating her from the elf Lord, before the Dark Lord merged with Celebrimbor to create the Flaming Eye above Barad-dûr.

Awakening in a strange realm, Eltariel was confronted by her Lady Galadriel. She confessed to having failed to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron. Galadriel explained that Celebrimbor and Sauron were now one, before she angrily reminded Eltariel that she was sent to Mordor for the Nazgûl, not Sauron, before commanding that she look to Minas Ithil and the Nazgûl that dwelt within it, claiming that Eltariel knew who she spoke of.

Eltariel responded, telling her that Talion was dead, she having left him for dead after she claimed Celebrimbor's Ring, before Galadriel informed her that the ranger now wore Anarion's Ring and he now belonged to Sauron. Eltariel said she could not face him, and pleaded with the Lady Galadriel to let her return home. Galadriel denied her this request, ordering her to wear The New Ring, and finish what she had started in Mordor, and only then could she be allowed to return home. Eltariel said it would be done.

Awakening atop Barad-dûr in pain from the loss of two of her fingers, Eltariel briefly bore witness to the Flaming Eye, before she moved to claim The New Ring, which flew to her finger, and upon donning it, provided her with Wraith Fingers in lieu of the ones she lost.

Leaving Barad-dûr, Eltariel followed her Lady's instructions, and infiltrated the city of Minas Morgul. Upon reaching the citadel, Eltariel fights Talion before he reveals that he has not yet succumbed to the power of the ring of Anarion. Instead of continuing to fight, Eltariel decides to aid Talion in his mission to keep the forces of the lord of Mordor at bay while continuing her unending battle with the Nazgul. However it is clear that Talion can not keep the malice of Anarion's ring in check for ever Galadriel warns Eltariel that when the time come she must prevent Talion becoming an unending servant of evil. following their meeting at Minas Morgul, Eltariel accompanies the ranger to assist in strengthening the defenses of the diminished fortress of Cirith Ungol.

Upon arriving in Cirith Ungol. Talion and Eltariel are met by the overlord of the fortress Akoth who reports the warchiefs guarding the fortress are all dead or dying. Talion suggest gaining more followers using the New Ring, but Eltariel refuses to dominate orcs with the power of the ring. Akoth suggests several captains who would make good allies if Eltariel could recruit them, she then sets off into the caves to find new allies. She proceeds to recruit Ogg, Bow of Morgoth, Ar-Baruk the Thrall and Ar-Kaius the Architect. These band of willing recruits helped Eltariel defend Talion's front in Cirith Ungol against an assault. Victorious,Eltariel got the alarming news from Talion ho returned from Seregost defeated, and the culprit behind the sudden surge of military advances revealed themselves to be Ringwraith sisters who claim defiant to Sauron and the Witch-king. They announced their intent of taking Eltariel and  Talion's Rings for themselves and rule over Mordor in the absence of their weakened former master. Eltariel continued her campaign to other fortresses lost to the Nazgul Sisters, resorting to non-conventional takeovers due to Talion's weakened military power. Eltariel made several allies in strange and quirky Uruks along the way, she forged a mutually beneficial alliance with a Dark Tribe "problem-solver" Maku, who helped her recruit two explosive junkies Flak and Torz and plan for further takeovers. She also gained the unconditional loyalty (and infatuation) of Krimp, an Orc with surprisingly reverent views towards Elves. Later, Eltariel have to chose between her then-present ally Ar-Kaius, or the potential recruit Golm who disagree about living space underground. Eventually, Eltariel and her band of recruits managed to retake Nurn after a successful assassination and Gorgoroth with the help of Talion's remaining forces, defeating the Nazgul sisters and banishing them. Seregost, however, was lost forever to all parties due to contamination of extremely toxic agent used to empty the fort

Talion began to succumb to the Ring in his fingers not long after the recapture of Gorgoroth. Instead of killing him immediately, Eltariel escorted Talion to Minas Morgul to fulfill his final wish of not dying in Mordor, hoping that Talion would be strong enough to undo the Ring from his finger when they arrive. After arriving in Minas Morgul however, the Ring drew out Talion's disappointment in Celebrimbor and Eltariel's betrayal, making him refuse to die and finally denounced himself in front of Eltariel. The Blade was forced to put the newly turned Nazgul down, tough unable to kill him. Talion's downfall marked the end of Eltarel's duty and the Shadow Wars, and she was promptly tasked by Galadriel to "go West".

It is revealed in the Epilogue that Eltariel returned to Mordor many times during the War of the Ring and even witnessed the fall of the Flaming Eye and Celebrimbor's escape. She was last seen pursuing Celebrimbor's apparition, claiming that she would "answer his call".

Character

Eltariel is the eldest, wisest and most powerful of all the Eldar. She is also the fairest of all the Eldar. Unlike the Noldor, Eltariel deeply loved and adored the Valar and the Maiar and she feels unimaginable joy for living with them. At the feast in her Realm she stood up from her Throne and she said to all the Elves present there (all the Vanyar, some of the Teleri and the Noldor were there also), "I am the High Queen of all Elven-Kindred! The Queen of the Vanyar! My fellow Vanyar and all the Elves hear this. I am to be worshiped, for i rule all the Firsborn Children of Illuvatar, but i am not saying this to overshadow the True Power and Wisdom which i serve, for every decision i make WILL NOT be made before the Blessing of the Valar. All of you Know and Remember this:The Valar along with their helpers,the Maiar are Gods! They created and shaped this World and the Universe! They are to be worshiped, obeyed and listened FOREVER AND EVER! We all cannot even imagine how much we owe them! So, rejoice to be in their presence! Worship them! Obey them! Treasure EVERY WORD THEY SAY! For every word spoken by Them is the word of unimaginable wisdom and it is for the good of us all the Firstborn Children of Illuvatar! And above all, WORSHIP, OBEY AND LISTEN to Varda, the Queen of the Valar, the Queen of Arda and the Universe, for to Her belongs the Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might FOREVER AND EVER!" After this, everyone bowed to her and did not completely understood everything spoken by her.

The fact that Elrond was her apprentice has also been highly praised and honored by many. Her role in War of Wrath is considered to be the most important since she was the one who defeated Sauron and Lungorthin and assured succesful victory over Morgoth. Also her fight against the Nazgûl during the Third Age is also extremely important because she was keeping them in Mordor and focused on her, rather then on Gondor and rest of Middle-earth, thus giving Men, Elves and Free Peoples more time to prepare for the War of the Ring.

Powers

She is most powerful of all the Eldar. She possessed a tremendous amount of magical powers. Most of her powers are not completely understood. She has a portion of Powers of the Valar, given to her by Varda (Queen of Arda).

Eltariel has 5 different sets of gear which were created by the Maiar and Varda.These were: Vilissëbelaithhyellë (created by Varda), Ehtyarancalcalar (created by Ilmarë), Ehtyarlachir (created by Arien), Ehtyargwelwen (created by Uinen) and Ehtyargelium (Created by Aiwendil). These sets all include: Dual Swords, Bow, Outfit, and a "Silmaril". They are the most powerful sets ever created. All of the sets are different and they have different powers, but all of them allow Eltariel to control different elements.

Above all she has the special ability to transform into her "witch form". Very similar to a power that Galadriel has, though way more powerful.

Epilogue

Eltariel was one of the most important elves in Middle-earth.
