1) Was Formenos to the east or the west of the Pelóri mountains in Valinor?
I believe it was to the west--at least going by Fonstad's Atlas of Middle-earth--but I will have to look it up to be sure.
2) Why did Turgon vow 'to march never at the side of any son of Fëanor' only after the second Kinslaying?
In "The Shibboleth of Feanor," it is said that because of Elenwe's death on the ice, Turgon ever after hated the sons of Feanor. Maybe he was just reiterating?
I've always taken his participation in the Nirnaeth to be more for Fingon's sake rather than Maedhros.' Of course, that could just be Felak!verse.
