Like his older brother Namo, Irmo (Q."Desirer") is one of the Feanturi (Q.: "Spirit-masters").
Appearance[]
Irmo s fana is garbed in a deep forest-blue, like the color of trees in the moonlight. His tall, lithe form and gentle manner suggest his inner peace, but the fire of desire always kindles a very special spark within his eyes.
Realm[]
Spirits, dreams, desires, love, vision, peace.
Personality[]
He is the master of emotions and dreams, the spirit of life; thus his name "Desirer". Along with his wife Este, he rises at night in his homeland in the Forest of Lorien, journeying when the dreams of Eru's Children are most active. His older sister Nienna shoulders grief; Este heals the body; Irmo soothes the spirit. He understands the basic drives of the soul and, while his brother is the caretaker of fate or doom, he oversees the wishes and hopes inherent in ad spirits. Because of his wardship, Irmo is generous and always concerned with the happiness of others.
