Description
Eärendillempëa aran Ondonórëo
Earendil was the fifth king of Gondor in the early Third Age. The name Eärendil means "Sea-lover". He shared his name with Eärendil the Mariner, the great hero who voyaged to Aman and saved Middle-earth from the darkness of Morgoth nearly four thousand years before King Eärendil's time.
Because of his name I portrayed him in clad blue and with a sea in the background. Also there is the star of Eärendil as a reminder of his legendary namesake.

I don't want to sound prepotent, but your tengwar writing doesn't seem very correct to me. First of all, you don't use the diphthong tengwa. Second: I'm not sure about Quenya, but in Sindarin a tengwa connects with the precedent tetha. I’m no specialist, just trying to warn you! (btw, i really liked your version of Carn Dum)

Thanks for your comment. I'm not an expert either.
I don't write diphtong, because in Quenya ëa is read as two separate vowels and not a diphtong (as opposed to ei, ai, au etc.)
About connecting tehtar and tengwar I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I think it's only a possible variant of the script and it is not obligatory. Certainly not in Quenya (I don't know Sindarin that much).
