Part 3/8:
The Vanyar: The Most Noble of Elves
The Vanyar are regarded as the least numerous of the three factions but are acclaimed as the most beautiful and exalted. Led by Ingwë, they demonstrated unwavering loyalty to the Valar and remained in Valinor, never returning to Middle-earth.
Described predominantly as having fair skin and golden hair, the Vanyar’s artistic nature thrived in the creation of poetry and music, much inspired by their reverence for the Valar. Their passion for aesthetic beauty and the divine was unparalleled, establishing them as a tier of Elves closest to the divine presence of the Valar.
