"Stone-age Elves! The primeval forests around Cuiviénen!"
That certainly is a challenge and well-met! Love the picture. Love the idea of the Vanyar as hunters. They couldn't just sit around and sing songs and expect others to feed them. It's terrific to imagine an earlier reality than the role we read them playing in Aman.
It really is hard to paint a picture set in darkness--hard enough with words, but harder still on canvas. The Vanyar and their torches reflected by their hair really help with that problem a great deal.
