Chapter XI

As mentioned earlier, Elvi and Merian grew in power in Middle-earth, and all the elves who inhabited Belland, from the sailors led by Serdan to the hunters who roamed the blue mountains of the Gillian River, embraced Elway as king, and his people called him Ilu Tinggar, "King of the Grey Cloons" in their own language.

They are known as the Sindar Elves, the Grey Elves of the Bellan Starlight, and although they belong to Morekundi, they are the most beautiful, wise, and skilled of the Elves of Middle-earth under the guidance of Merian and the rule of Tinggo.

At the end of the First Period, after Mirko was captured and ambushed, the earth was at complete peace, and Valinor's glory was at its peak, and Lucien, the only daughter of Tinggo and Merian, was born.

Though most of Middle-earth lay in the slumber of Avanna, in Bellan, the land was full of life and joy by the power of Beauty, and the stars in the sky shone as bright as silver flames, and Lucien was born in the forest of Nidores, and the land was adorned with white Nympherdale flowers that welcomed her, and the earth was adorned with stars like stars.

During the period of Mirkor's captivity during the Second Period, the dwarves crossed the Ron Mountains, also known as the Blue Mountains, and entered Belland. They call themselves the Kaisadians, but the Sindar elves call them the Noglins - the "sturdy people" or the Gonshirins - the "masters of the rocks". The oldest dwelling place of the Noglins was in the far east, but in the eastern part of the Longne Mountains, as they had traditionally done, they had dug for themselves in the mountains with many magnificent halls and mansions, and these cities, which they named in their own language, Gabi Gasor, and Tamsakhar. In the north on the heights of the Domide Mountains is Gabi Gasor, which the elves translate into their own language, Belegost, meaning "great fortress", and in the south is Tamsahar, which the elves call Nogrod, which means "hollow fortified city". The greatest capital ever built by the dwarves was Kaissadom, Drodelph, known in Elven language as Hazonlund, and later known as Moriath when it fell into darkness, but it was far away in the Misty Mountains and had to be reached by crossing the vast Iliades, and to the Elves of Elda, it was just a name among the dwarves of the Blue Mountains.

The Norglins had come to Bellan from the city of Norgrod and Belegosterburg, and the elves were amazed to see them, for they had always believed that of all the creatures in Middle-earth, they were the only ones who could speak and work with their hands, and that all the rest were either birds or beasts. However, the elves did not understand a single word of the Norglin's speech, and their language was very cumbersome and unpleasant to the elves, and only a few Eldar elves learned to speak dwarven language. Dwarves, on the other hand, are quick learners, and in fact they are far more willing to learn Elven languages than the Tun aliens are willing to speak their own language. With the exception of Io of the Elmos Valley and his son Megrin, only a handful of elves had been to the city of Norgrod and Belegosterburg, but the dwarves came to and from Belland, and they built an avenue under the mountainside of Mount Domide, which followed the Askar River at the Sarn Ferry, or "Gravel Crossing", which would be the battlefield of a great battle. The friendship between the Norglins and the Eldars had always been cold, and although both had benefited from each other's dealings, the disagreement between them had not yet arisen, and the king Tingge was still very welcoming to them. However, the Norglins came to be friendlier to the Noldor than to any other elves or humans, for they revered and loved Olli, and in their view, the jewels made by the Noldor were far superior to all other riches. While Arda was still in the dark, the dwarves had already embarked on a great work, and even in the early years of their ancestors, they had a great skill with metal and rock, but in those ancient days they preferred to craft from copper and iron rather than gold and silver.

On the other hand, Meian, who is Maia, is naturally a visionary, and when the days of Mirkor's captivity in the Second Period are over, she tells Tinggo that Alda will not be at peace forever. As a result, Tinggo began to think about how to make his dwelling more like the abode of a king, and if evil awoke again in Middle-earth, he would need a stronger dwelling, so he sought the advice and help of the dwarves of Belegosterburg. They were more than happy to help, for they were still energetic and anxious to start all sorts of new work, and for the dwarves had always been paid for everything they had done, whether they were happy or hard. Merian taught them many things, and they learned eagerly, and Tinger rewarded them with many beautiful pearls. These pearls were given to him by Serdan, and there were many pearls in the shallow waters of Barral, but the Norglins had never seen anything like it, and they regarded it as a treasure. One of these pearls was as large as a pigeon's egg, shining like a star in the foam of the sea, and it was named Ninveros, and the dwarven chieftains of Belegosterburg considered it worth more than gold and silver.

Therefore, the Noglins happily toiled for Tingge for a long time, built him a dwelling, and dug many deep and wide caves in the bosom of the earth according to the custom of their own people. In the middle of the Nidores and Rigian forests, crossed by the Isgoduin River, there is a raised rocky hill from which the river flows. There the Norglins made the gate of the palace for Tinge, and they built a stone bridge over the river: that was the only entrance to the whole palace. After entering the gate, there are countless spacious corridors leading to many high and wide halls and various comfortable rooms, and these countless deep and large spaces are carved out of the earth's rocks, so this palace is called Mingni Guosi, which means "palace of a thousand grottoes".

In the process of digging and building, the elves also made a lot of efforts: according to the wonderful scenery of Valinor on the other side of the sea as Mirian remembers, the elves and the dwarves worked together to build the palace. All the pillars of the Minni Kingdom are chiseled in the shape of the hairy birch trees of Euromi, the trunks, branches, and leaves are extended, and the pillars are covered with golden lanterns. The nightingale flies and sings as if in the forest of Lorian, and there are many silver fountains, marble basins, and floors covered with colored stones.
