Ah, I see, but unfortunately it doesn't make the little pictures on the map of Valinor any clearer.
I know. I got the atlas for First Age work, obviously, really hoping for a good map of Aman, but it seems that it doesn't exist. Oh well, more liberty to make it up! ;)
The Teleri did attack first - by pushing the Noldor into the sea.
True. I've just never wished to slant the first kinslaying as The War of Telerin Aggression ;) (Over here, our Civil War is often called the "War of the Northern Aggression" by southern apologists who don't want to admit that leaving a nation is grounds to be attacked by said nation! Just like the Noldor wouldn't want to admit that trying to steal someone's property gives them the right to protect it...ironic, given that this is the whole rationale behind their quest to Middle-earth in the first place--and the kinslayings!)
