In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwë Súlimo
By El~Cugu
Do you love mountains and crystal clear air? Are you NOT afraid of heights? Do you appreciate good poetry? Do you love the whole world, all the living creatures and rocks too? Do you especially love big birds?

Manwë Súlimo
"Manwë has no thought for his own honour, and is not jealous of his power, but rules all to peace. The Vanyar he loved best of all the elves, and of him they received song and poetry; for poetry is the delight of Manwë, and the song of words is his music. His raiment is blue, and blue is the fire of his eyes, and his sceptre is of sapphire, which the Noldor wrought for him; and he was appointed to be the vicegerent of Illuvatar, king of the world of the Valar and elves and men, and the chief defence against the evil of Melkor."
The Silmarillion, Tolkien, pg 33.

Since the making of Arda, he has ruled his domain wisely. He counselled Varda to make the stars. He captured Melkor twice, the second time shutting him into the void until the end of the world. He also sent the Istari (wizards) to Middle Earth in the third age, who included Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast the Brown.
"He was appointed to be, in the fulness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delight is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass."
The Silmarillion, Tolkien, pg 16

Welcome to The Realm of Manwë!
12
In this realm, we love language: acting, writing, poems... We are a little wacky... but you'll become one of the team. Also, we love inventing games to play and are playing a RP/strategy game. How would you like to run your favorite race and build a civilization to grow and flourish for the Valar! Fun and friendship await you in the Realm of Manwë!
Manwë is the Vala closest to Eru Ilúvatar, and is considered the leader of the Valar. Therefore the whole World is his responsibility, and so it is ours. The members of this Realm are expected to concider the happiness and well-being of others in all their actions, be social and include everyone to their group. If you notice some member of the Realm is shy and doesn’t know how to participate to the actions of the group, why don’t you PM him/her and ask if you could be friends? We should treat everyone equally, and always be fair in our decisions. We should also treat the nature with respect and protect it. We don’t all have to join the Greenpeace, but it is easy to do small things in your everyday life, like use the public transportation system instead of driving your own car, and not littering!
Here are some of the activities we will have in the Realm of Manwë:
The Fan Fiction Ring: Manwë watched over the World, was responsible of it in a way, and is that not what fan fiction authors also do? They create a world, and then make sure it runs smoothly! So in the Realm of Manwë, we will hold a poll where the members of the Realm can vote for what type of story they wish to write (genre, characters, etc.), give turns to everyone who wishes to participate, and start writing... Let’s see if we can keep our world in one piece! If the Valar could do it, why not us..?
The Tree Planting Campaign (together with the Realm of Nienna): Our responsibility is to look after the World, and sometimes we should give something back to it, instead of just taking from it. So the job of the members who wish to join this campaign, is to plant a tree (or some other, smaller plant if you don’t have an opportunity to grow anything large) and try to make it grow too. We will open a thread where the members can tell about their progress with the campaign.
The Beautiful World: To appreciate our World, and see the beauty around us, we will hold a contest where the members should find the most beautiful place in their HOME AREA, take a photo of it, and post it to CoE so everyone can see it, also telling what makes it so special to Them. In the end, the members can vote for their favourite photo (and if they’re lucky, perhaps one day see it in real life too!). And what does the winner get? Happiness for knowing there’s something beautiful nearby!
Rules of the Realms:
The good of the Council of Elrond is what we all strive for, first and foremost. Realms are intended to provide a means for interaction between people on the site, to have fun, and to help build the community. In that spirit, there will be no aggressive or untoward competitiveness between Realms, namecalling, or otherwise inappropriate or divisive behavior allowed.
All normal site and forum rules apply to the Realms. Anyone found breaking the aforementioned rules will cause their Realm to lose points, and face the possibility of being kicked out of their Realm.
The following actions can get you kicked out of a Realm:
- breaking the rules on regular basis,
- starting a fight, either with internal Realm members, or members of another Realm
- being rude or offensive to any other Realm member
- ignoring requests to follow the rules
- excessive negativity
- anything else that might disrupt the Realm environment or make other members feel uncomfortable
The Admin of the Realm makes the final decision about kicking people from the Realm.
Membership of The Realm:
Choose your Realm carefully. You may not switch out of a Realm into a new one until you've been a member of the Realm for 3 months. In very rare cases, if a member is having troubles in a Realm before the 3 months is over, they may request a transfer, but the final decision is at the behest of the admin overseeing the Realm.
To state to other members that you are a part of a realm you may put the insignia of the Realm of Manwë in your sig file OR mention that you are a part of the Realm. You may not do both. If you mention your Realm in your signature, you may not put down other Realms, or boast about your own being the best. Breaking this rule might lead to the Admins taking away your right to use your Realm in your signature. You do not have to make mention of your Realm affiliation in your signature.

Realm leaders:
The current head of the Realm of Manwë is Fëathoron. If you have any questions or comments about the Realm of Manwë, you may PM her.
There are two leaders underneath the Head of the Realm. One is appointed, one is elected, and both serve 3 month terms. They may not serve more than 2 terms in a row (and we try not to elect people more than twice). The leaders of this realm are Silversnow and astarielle. Please PM them if you think that Fëathoron is just too busy (or crazy) to help you with your question.
Leaders may be removed at the behest of the Admin for the following reasons:
- neglecting their duties
- not getting things done in a timely fashion
- trying to take the Realm into a place not consistent with its purpose
- flaunting authority
- bragging about their 'leader' status
- giving special treatment to their friends
- favoritism
- discouraging members from joining other Realms
As a Realm leader they should be an example of working 'together' with Realms, and they should be people with the attitude of "the good of the
