[CLOSED] Nominations are Open for the Most Epic Heroine Award!

6:30 AM

 


"Are you sure we're not lost?" A blond-haired rider pulled on the reins of his horse.

"Lord Eomer did say that this cave was hard to find...", a second rider retrieved a map from his saddlebag. "It should be off to the right." 

"You mean, where that dust cloud is coming from?" The rider's chain mail rattled as he pointed his finger. 

"Could be. Let's go look." 

Both riders spurred their horses forward and found the source of the dust cloud - an opening in the rock, choked with vines and other debris. 

The riders dismounted and cautiously walked up to the opening. They could hear sounds of hustle and bustle from within, but no distinct words. 

"Hello?" They called out. 

"Who goes there? If you're here on church business, take it up with my assistants. And if you're here about that blasted conference in October, know that I am going to hang..."

A short woman with a filthy skirt emerged from the dark, shaking out an equally filthy rag. Blinking, she looked between the two riders. "Who are you?" 

"We're riders of Rohan, madam. We've been sent by the Lady of the Shield-Arm to deliver a message to Miss Catherine Hawthorn. Do you know her?" 

****

I hurriedly tossed aside my rag and attempted to brush myself off. "You've found her. My deepest apologies, Riders of the Mark. This dear old blog has not been touched for months and I have been attempting to give it an old-fashioned fall cleaning for the Tolkien celebrations. In the midst of....other things." I could not help but sigh as I straightened myself up. 

The riders smiled. "Well, we shall not keep you long." One handed off a thick envelope to me and they remounted. 

"Gōdne ǣfen, shieldmaiden", they said in their native Rohirric tongue and nodded towards the shield emblem near the door frame. 

(For those who are wondering, Rohirric is Old English in origin, so I simply used the evening greeting from this webpage.) 

After waving the riders off, I sat down on a stone bench and tore open the thick packet. On top was a letter, which I read first. 

My dear Catherine, 

Greetings from the land of Rohan! As you may have heard, the 8th Annual Silmaril Awards are upon us. It is my great pleasure to announce that I will be hosting the Most Epic Heroine Award at your blog, The Rebelling Muse, on September 21, 2023. 

I will be accompanied by Queen Lucy Pevensie and the lady Aravis from the land of Narnia. As you may know, Lord Aragon has declared that all of our dear Narnian companions are forever exempted from the Silmaril Awards and have been elevated to being co-hosts of the Silmarils as of this year. 

Be sure to gather all of the Epic Heroines from all the fantastical lands so that they may be recognized by our fellows. They should be the highest ideal of femininity. They are not to be recognized only for deeds of valor or conquests, but for their stalwart hearts and soothing hands. Maidens, wives, mothers, and crones are welcome. 

I have included a copy of the Rules, a list of the past winners, and the addresses of the other Silmaril presenters for your convenience. I look forward to seeing you on the 21st! 

~ Eowyn, Lady of the Shield-Arm 

******

Smiling at ending this letter, I picked the officious looking Rules Sheet. 

~ Rules of the Silmaril Awards ~

  • You may nominate as many characters as you wish, as long as there is no nepotism involved (i.e. author's nominating their own characters). 
  • You may also second as many characters nominated by others as you choose. The more “seconds” (and thirds, fourths, etc) a character receives, the more likely that character will move on to the Top 5 Candidate List from which the viewers will vote from. Should there be any dead heats, the host reserves the right to cast the tiebreaker vote. 
  • Nominations are allowed for fantasy book characters only! Movie characters don't count unless they have a book twin. Any disputes will be forwarded to the Council of Elrond. 
  • The Silmaril Awards are “lifetime” awards. To paraphrase Aslan, "once an Epic Heroine, always an Epic Heroine". Characters who have already won a Silmaril in previous years are not eligible to win the same award again (though they may win other categories.)

*****

Those sounded simple enough. But what was not so simple was finding out what kind of heroines to look for. Then I remembered Eowyn included a list of the past winners! 

~ Past Year’s Winners ~

These characters have already won this particular Silmaril, so they’re ineligible to receive it again. They can still be nominated for other categories, however! 

  • 2022 Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle
  • 2021 Pet from The City Between Series
  • 2020 Hermione from The Harry Potter Series
  • 2019 Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles
  • 2018 Aravis from The Chronicles of Narnia
  • 2017 Lucy Pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia

*****

And now I am off to the town to square to announce. . .the the nominations have begun! Leave a note in the comment box to tell me: who’s your pick for the Most Epic Heroine? 

And....what's this? 

I reached down to pick up another sheet of paper.

Oh dear, I almost forgot! Be sure to visit my fellow presenters and nominate your favorite characters for the following categories!  

~ Other Silmaril Blogs ~ 

Most Magnificent Dragon - Jenelle @ Jenelle Schmidt

Most Nefarious Villain - C. O. Bonham @ C. O. Bonham

Most Devoted Couple - Samanthawise @ Bookshire

Most Wayward Soul - E.E Rawls @ Author E.E. Rawls  

Most Silver Tongue - The Grim Writer @ The Grim Writer

Most Epic Heroine - Catherine Hawthorn @ The Rebelling Muse (you are here!)  

Most Majestic Ruler - DJ Edwardson @ DJ Edwardson

Most Faithful Friend -  Jeanette @ J. L. Mbewe

Most Mischievous Imp - Grace T @ Bard on Pilgrimage

Most Epic Hero - Merie Shen @ Imperial Scribis

Wisest Counselor - Sarah Taleweaver @ Lights and Shadows

******

Nominations will close on September 8th, so don't delay! We shall gather again on the 11th to begin the voting! 

God bless, 

Catherine
