Rúmil of Tirion

A Noldo loremaster of Tirion in Aman during the Elder Days, Rúmil composed the Ainulindale, an account of Arda's creation, as well as inventing the tengwar (S. "letters")—the worlds first system of writing. Rúmil's symbols were designed for drawing with ink, using brush or pen on parchment. Feanor improved upon these initial signs, and it was Feanor's tengwar, rather than Rúmil's, that were brought to Middle-earth by the exiled Noldor.
