~*~ A/N: This is my new idea for a fanfic. It was inspired by a special I saw on the History Channel on Amazons (yes - it came on right after The History of Sex. *ooh.. ahh*) I'm using a little bit of my Historical knowledge, along with my knowledge of Middle-Earth to create this - I hope you enjoy it! (And, as always, please review!)*~*~
In the history of our own world, there has long been tales of fierce, strong women, or woman-like creatures; Sirens, Gorgons, Amazons, and the like. With several things in common - their ferociousness, their violent attitudes, their strength, both physical and mental, and their hatred for the male sex - it is easy to believe that, perhaps these creatures live not only in myth, but actually existed, in some form or another.
It is also easy to believe that, perhaps, Middle-Earth also had such creatures - strong, fierce women who lived apart from the conventional societies, who would do anything to preserve their own way of life - even kill.
Outside the forest of Lothlorien, just beyond the realm of the Lady of the Wood, in an area riddled with orcs and sometimes worse creatures, such a society existed. Nearly one hundred women; elves, half-elves, and humans, lived together in a very strict and traditional society. There were no men among them, save for the slaves they kept in the prisons. These slaves existed solely for the purpose of reproduction; however, if a male child was born, it was to be killed immediately, so as to not spoil the group. This made for a group of women so far separated from their emotions as to willingly end their own child's life.
The social structure of this group of women, who called themselves the Luinalataion, was as strict as the rest of their life - at the top, the ruling elite, or Saurlhachien. These were made up of the founding Luinalation, and were all Elves. Secondly, were the fiercest warriors, or Lostlotiel, who were generally Elves or Half-Elves. Then, there were the guards, Lhunwilyaiel, who were posted at the edges of the small society. These were Half-Elves only. Lastly, at the bottom of the social ladder of the Luinalation, were the Saurcal, or the Humans. They were considered peons among the society of stronger Elves and Half-Elves, and were oft given the hardest chores, or the ones that none else wanted.
The Luinalation existed alone in the wilderness for thousands of years, until, when the War of the Ring was nearing, they were happened upon by a Fellowship; one made of Men, Hobbits, and Elf, and a Dwarf. Here follows the tale.
