Luthien in the court of Morgoth
Luthien sends the court of Morgoth to sleep with a song of enchantment
Personal piece. The Elven Princess Luthien sings a song of enchantment, sending the court of Morgoth to sleep.
Here is my depiction of one of my favourite scenes from Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Luthien, enchantress and lover of the human man Beren, steal into Angband, the fortress of Morgoth, the original Dark Lord of Middle Earth, to prize one of the titular Silmarils, or holy jewels from his crown. Epic doesn't quite do it justice in the book.
