DESCRIPTION:
This is my version of a 13th-14th century medieval manuscript set in Tolkien's Middle Earth, made using colored pencils, red and black 0.05 mm pens, and a 14k gilding marker. The script is English written in my own gothic font for Tengwar, one of the Elvish writing systems, and the border flowers were copied by hand from a 14th century manuscript page.

The text is from the Silmarillion, JRR Tolkien's history of the Elves. It tells the story of Fingolfin, the High King of the Noldorin Elves, in his final confrontation with Morgoth, the greatest enemy of the free peoples of Middle Earth. Here is an excerpt of what the text reads:

Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar.
