Feels a bit weird to use the elvish name of Eru Illúvitar but I guess even less people would get "Mithrandir-son-son-Illúvitar" and we don't know the human version of Eru Illúvitar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure the human version would be God, seeing as Tolkien’s legendarium is technically supposed to be the past of our world. He’s just translating the old texts. I think we’re the Seventh Age, though I may be misremembering. Olorin-son-God would be completely inexplicable to everyone but legendarium fans though, lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trutharchivist Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I have to agree with Kingsdaughter here over Gandalf's real name being Olorin. I believe Mithrandir is his Elvish name, and Gandalf is his human one. I think the "son-son" should stay merely for the purpose of keeping the likeness. BTW, there must be a thread somewhere around here for legendarium fans. Where is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the quote uses Szeth-son-son-Vallano ont Szeth-son-Neturo my brain decided Neturo sounds like neutering, please send help, was one of the Dwarf forefather known to wear white? They'd work as grandchildren of Eru. I think there was also an half-Maia half-elf somewhere that might work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we could do Durin-son-son-Iluvatar or Treebeard-son-daughter-Iluvatar. We could also go with the second generation of elves or the second generation of humans.

Especially since Brandon doesn’t seem that familiar with the greater legendarium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
