Earien beeing an architect can be in line of the "modern Numenor" which is more in touch with technology and prosperity in a material way. Elendil and his son Isildur are mariners, that contrast of ideas might be a good insight on what is going Numenor at the time, spiritually and politically. She's an architect working on the architects guild of Numenor. Numenor during Tar-Telperiën would have been different, so maybe woman could have been architect then, who knows. It is repressive conservative monarchy that totally will kill you or banish you if you act outside the norms. Numenor during Tar-Miriel is not an utopia. In a society that is obsessed with racial purity that they indeed ostracized anyone who mated with non-numenorians or maybe even killed them, and only took outsiders as slaves and chattel.Īnd in the show two cousins look nothing alike.Īs with the architect bit. And she was supposed to be Ar-Pharazon's cousin. Or absolutely vital movers and shakers of the second age, "multicultural tribe" of "nomadic farmer" hobbits.Īnd about Miriel, I wonder how you justify her, when Tolkien describes her being fairer than all silver, pearls or ivory. Or Galadriel's imaginary brother leading orcs.
To introduce made up characters like Isildur's imaginary sister. Yes, and sometimes Tolkien's real female characters like those actual ruling queen's like Tar-Telperiën (who ruled during Ringmaking time) and Tar-Ancalime and Almarian, Nuneth, Zamin are removed entirely. "Sometimes characters are cut to make it a more cohesive adaptation." The only point in ME where we can justly assume an architect wasn't used to create one of the magnificent buildings or cities was when Sauron completed the construction of Barad Dur using "the power of the one ring." Also being an architect is a highly prestigious and highly technical vocation, not really a "handicraft," so I could totally see nobility pursuing that rather than 99% of other jobs. Tolkien didn't need to explicitly write that out, but yes, we can fill in the blanks logically that a high society known for its majestic cities would of course have architects. Lol but I'm just thinking that logically it makes sense.Īnd as for architects? Yes, of course there were. If a nation can be ruled by a queen, why can't a woman, noble birth or not, pursue her passion? Again, I don't know for sure, I'll look into the lore later and see it was probably outlawed or punishable by death or something. How could they show the first queen Ancalime when they are already showing the would be 4th queen Miriel?Īlso, I probably don't know about the gender politics of Numenor as much as you, but I would think that after 3 sitting queens, the "bound gender roles" wouldn't really exist in every day life. But with the show doing a compressed timeline, not to mention it starting well into the SA when the conflict is truly about to begin, it wouldn't make sense to add these characters. They did say they were considering an anthology approach before landing on the compressed timeline, so I imagine these characters could have been brought to life for 1 season of that version of the show.

Well, I wouldn't consider one chapter in unfinished tales as "so much material" but I would also say it would all be fair game since the show runners are taking deep cuts into the lore.īut honestly it wouldn't make any sense to show any of those characters in context of it being a TV show.
