Last week was Maiar Week, and here's what I came up with. Incidentally, the word Maiar apparently translates as the beautiful.
the herald of winds
.
The herald of Manwë walks in the power of the King, delivering the rulings of the Lord of the Breath of Arda.
He is Eönwë.
Eönwë, whose voice is like the howl of the wind and the thunder of eagle's wings; he proclaims Manwë's words, his counsel and his rulings, to the people of Arda.
(Once, he bowed before a Noldo and brought his words back to Manwe, so powerful was his speech.)
Eönwë, whose might in arms is unsurpassed; he leads the forces of Valinor against the darkness reigning over Middle-Earth, and the creatures of evil flee before his valour.
(Once, he welcomed a weather-beaten mariner and hailed him as the bearer of ancient light, the splendour of Earth's Children.)
Eönwë, who has not the power to judge or pardon, only to speak and to convey; he rejoices in teaching the faithful, while the unfaithful need wait for the Elder King's judgement.
(Once, he forbade a slaying, and a hard-won victory turned bitter; he remembered, then, the maker of the jewels.)
Eönwë, a chief of the Maiar, whose hands bear the banner of Manwë.
the handmaiden of stars
.
The handmaiden of Varda walks behind the Queen, a figure of pale starlight stepping in the Star-kindler's train.
She is Ilmarë.
Ilmarë, who carries stardust in a pouch and threads of starry sheen in a sewing basket; she stitches constellations together.
Ilmarë, who shapes pellucid gems and translucent beads, shimmering drops of brightness; she scatters them over Ilmen.
Ilmarë, who draws from the Wells of Varda the radiant dew of the Two Trees; the dwellers of Valinor look in wonderment as she passes them, carrying her crystal ewer.
Ilmarë, a chief of the Maiar, whose hands are full of starlight.
all alight
.
On and above the airs of Arda, in Ilmen where the stars are together they walked, as they had many a time before, he of the winds and she of the stars.
Into the silence of the coldness bathed in starlight Ilmarë spoke, holding out a gem of pale luster.
'Star People you lead and from among the stars I shall watch over your march, and shower you in stardust when you are returned victorious. Until then, bear, if you will, the handmaiden's star.'
'Gladly shall I bear it,' Eönwë replied, 'and look to the tranquility of the stars, for my heart warns me that much may be lost in this war, even in victory.'
In quiet the two chiefs of the Maiar sat at length before the Queen's handmaiden said, 'Over them I watched also, as they went to the Outer Lands. Even now, they, too, look to the stars.'
'What lot awaits them they brought on themselves. With might we come, and yet our might may save them from Melkor alone.'
'And yet a new star shall sail the heavens, to the joy of many.'
'Bitter joy to some.'
'Shall we know pure joy again, bliss bereft of grief, in Arda marred?' Ilmarë reached out to a nearby star, touched it fondly. 'Fret not, Eönwë, herald of Elder King. Against great evil you march out, and great shall be your victory, for the Children to know their hopes were not misplaced.'
