It actually surprised me - at least the first time this particular idea made itself known when I worked out the background of some of Tirion's poorer people for another story (not published) and there was a little girl with a name suspiciously resembling Írimë's. It turns out she became a kind of patron as part of the expectation placed on the royal family in Aman before going above and beyond that and making it her "cause".

I also love the idea that she was reduced to a footnote out of in-world bias (I always have trouble viewing the HoMe as an in-world historiographic document other than in the designated texts, because JRRT and CT are so visible) rather than whateve editorial decision stated that the Finwëan women for the most part didn't merit inclusion in the published Silm. Would you mind if I filed away this idea for possible later use?

And, of course, thank you! :)

Thank you! And that actually makes a great deal of sense! JRRT/CT were definitely carrying around their share of bias, but I'd never taken the step to consider that inner editor as an in-world construct where that wasn't made explicitly obvious. Very, very nice approach, and now I'm very curious how Lalwen will be setting her story straight (or... not straight, as that goes). And I think a certain chief in a certain village will be lingering on the back of my mind as well, seeing how that was one of the first stories that actually interested me in her as a character. :)
