    Firiel is from New Jersey, USA.
    She joined as Firiel-(T) on May 12, 2011 as a Tolkien member with her poem "The Isle of Thû".
    "I write minature lays and speak Eldarin languages. Istanin Quenya ar Yára Quenya ar Telerin ar Danian ar Ossiriandeb ar Doriathrin ar Beleriandic ar Exilic Noldorin (Sindarin) ar Kornoldorin (Old Noldorin; the language the Gnomes or Noldor spoke in Valinor) ar Lindarin ar Ilkorin. (I know Quenya and Primitive Quenya and Telerin and Danian...) I have translated poems, psalms, and Bible verses into Eldarin languages."
    "Author's note Sept. 9, 2011: do not expect my Quenya at this time to be more than fragments connected together by English word order. My Quenya in 'Interlude' and my Elvish version of the Dagor Bragollach is merely fragments in English word order. ...At the time I am studying Sindarin syntax, and Quenya shall have to wait."
    Firiel-(T) scouted her sister, Naomi-(T), who also writes poetry.

S.A. 3319 Fall of Númenor

Fíriel's Tombstone Inscription
    Author's Note:
        "Background: Firiel’s father was Orontor of Númenor, and he had sailed off into the West during the takeover of his land by Sauron out of the East; some ‘said that he had fled the displeasure of the king’(i.e. the displeasure of Ar-Pharazon), to quote the Lost Road. This may echo the voyagers to a closed West during the threat of Morgoth, Sauron’s master. Firiel is in this poem calling the Eldar of Valinor to remember the suffering of her ancestors,and at the same time to realize how little a part they played. It is as much a call to mourn as a reproach."
    The poem took from May 14 to May 15, 2011 to write. Emailed May 16, 2011.
