Eonwes Armour Is Supposed To Look Sort Of Like A Hoplite - Tumblr Posts

Eonwe around other maiar and Eonwe around elves I cannot draw armour, I am so sorry

I headcannon Manwe to never be entirely relaxed around elves, not because he doesn't like them, but because of an underestimation of how fragile they and the feeling that they need the protection of the Ainur. Because of this, all his maiar end up having to be in their more warlike fana around Elves so if a threat comes up they can fight it immediately without having to drop a more casual fana and then shift into armour.

Eonwe doesn't really agree with this, and always ends up avoiding elves more than he'd like because he feels like he ends up scaring them off, which then gives him a reputation as being uptight and cold.
