The first fruit of their fall is war in Paradise, the slaying of Elves by Elves, and this and their evil oath dogs all their later heroism, generating treacheries and undoing all victories [emphasis mine]. The Silmarillion will be an upcoming three part film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson (Who has directed the trilogy of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit). A very young Galadriel getting started on playing the harp. If the Valar weren’t willing to protect their children properly, then why make them. 12:40 Fëanor is a bully. Lord of the Rings is a FANDOM Movies Community. Finwë and Elwë in Cuiviénen before the Great Journey to Aman, by Kazuki-Mendou. I wish barrels would show how much damage they do when they blow up, sometimes it's not even worth shooting at them. Tolkien was very consistent with his themes. No other character - save the Hurin and his son - has lost as much as Fëanor has. I think that, if at any point Maglor had wanted to return, Cirdan would take him, and the Valar would receive him again.

(**Father of Orodreth). Fantasy Medieval Sword In J.R.R. I'm sure I'm missing something simple somewhere, but I just don't see it.

But Fingolfin never had been afraid to take a risk.

Then each became leaders of their own Elven-kindred.

In yet later versions, Faniel was apparently dropped, while Findis and Finvain were kept. Good observation, though it is a bit unfair to say he descended from the Vanyar and contrast that with the fact that he didn't descend from a specific house of the Noldor. Barrels seem best to be used for the lesser enemies it seems like bosses have good resistance to their damage. Feanor is evil in the line of Melkor and Sauron. The House of Fëanor were the cursed descendants and followers of Fëanor, the eldest son of Finwë and his spouse Míriel.

The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_F%C3%ABanor?oldid=236835. I don’t like Fëanor, but he is inspiring—not least because of what he could have accomplished if he hadn’t walked the ruinous path of dogmatic pursuit of all who opposed him. He fought Morgoth, he was master of his own destiny, he knelt to no god, elf or man (except his wife), he’s directly and indirectly responsible for the most beautiful and powerful things to have ever of existed, and he would’ve gone alone to fight Morgoth if no one had joined him. Finwë was King of the Noldor. Fëanor was one of the greatest, and certainly the most skilled, of the Noldor, but his burning anger at the loss of his Silmarils led him to commit acts that would greatly diminish the influence of his house among his people.

All rights reserved. It was formed during the Years of the Trees when Fëanor married Nerdanel and had sons. He did what he thought was right, people fail all the time and their is no shame in that. Along with everything else surrounding him yes, but tragedy is native to Tolkien's Legendarium, as is eucatastrophy. Finwë was the first High King of the Ñoldor who led his people on the journey from Middle-earth to Valinor in the blessed realm of Aman.

In the Etymologies, the Noldorin name of the House of Fëanor was Nos Feanor (cf. When the Vala Oromë found the Elves during his travels in Middle-earth, he loved them and urged them to travel with him to Valinor to see its wondrous beauty. For this he was banished from the city, but Finwë loved his elder son greatly and shared his exile and went with him northward and built the city/fortress of Formenos. Fingolfin saw, now, why Mandos had set Maiar to watch over them, and why Fëanor's wrists were bound. EDIT: apparently Gil-Galad is either the son of Fingon or the son of Orodreth, with Christopher Tolkien stating that “son of Fingon” mentioned in the Silmarillion was a mistake. Thus, Finwë became the Lord of the Ñoldor who led his people on the Great Journey. If I were to treat Fëanor like a real character, of course he's a dick - but I can't help but support him because I 100% agree with why he's pissed off at them and think the elves absolutely should have left Aman and left the Valar on their own to rule over no-one. One of them was Finwë who along with Ingwë and Elwë went to the Blessed Realm with Oromë. – See Tom Shippey’s Author of the Century Concepts of Evil. Feanor did nothing wrong. Certainly none of them have faired any better.

[2], http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/House_of_F%C3%ABanor. Oromë, The Huntsman of the Valar, while traveling near the Orocarnimountains, discovered the Elves and bonded friendship with their kin. It is he who, at the end of time, surrenders the gems and helps remake the world anew.

The latter type of grayness is much more prevalent in Tolkien—the conflict between the oath and the goal of opposing Morgoth is evident in all the sons of Fëanor (Maedhros and Maglor deal with it better than Caranthir and Curufin), Túrin and Turgon also struggle to discern what to do and often let pride derail right behavior, even Frodo and Boromir and Denethor all are morally gray in that they do make bad moral decisions because they succumb to fear. After the death of Finwë and the theft of the Silmarils, the house became dominate amongst the Ñoldor Fëanor, the only heir to the throne of the Ñoldor should have been its ruler, but with his early death and the rash and traitorous deeds committed by him the house did not rule the Ñoldor in Aman or Middle-earth. That's not to say you have to be a LOTR scholar or Tolkien academic to post or enjoy this subreddit, but that we'd prefer not to have image macros or movie gifs filling up this forum.

I do remember missing doors when shooting/swinging at them. He was a great friend of Elu Thingol, the King of Doriath. His seven sons leapt straightway to his side and took the selfsame vow together, and red as blood shone their drawn swords in the glare of the torches" (Of the Flight of the Noldor, The Silmarillion). It’s not even really up for debate. However, Fëanor mistrusted the Valar and believed the lies and began to horde his treasures and would only allow his beloved father or his sons to see the Silmarils. There Finwë lived with his son and his grandchildren and some of the rest of his house.

The Silmarilion was never that type of story.

Nerdanel also was firm of will, but more patient than Fëanor, desiring to understand minds rather than to master them, and at first she restrained him when the fire of his heart grew too hot; but his later deeds grieved her, and they became estranged. (Personally I found it quite interesting that the old lines of the First Age are all somehow interconnected to characters brought in during the Third Age/War of the Ring period ;-)). We emphasise serious discussion here over jokey/meme-based posts. 13:20 Why is Fëanor obsessed with light?

Yet there still is this sense of “what if?” What if, say. He is a jerk to his extended family, but nothing compared to what comes later. Pretty indefensible actions from people that claimed they loved their children. This act was the catalyst that led to the Revolt of the Ñoldor.
