One of my original stories contains two races of semi-immortal people, and I really don't want them to be too similar to Tolkien's elves, so I thought a bit about exactly what 'elvish behaviour' means.

The sons of Fëanor aren't the only ones who need to go to anger management classes.

As I contemplated writing something about Orodreth, I felt the will to live rapidly draining from me (the same thing happened when I tried to write about Turgon), so with apologies to Orodreth fans, I won't write an introduction for him.

In my post about Fingolfin I wondered why he gave Dor-lómin to Hador, and ithilwen pointed out that it looked like a plot bunny, so I'm writing some drabbles about it. Here's the first.

Today we leave the House of Fëanor and start on the House of Fingolfin, and I'll begin with Fingolfin himself - such a wise and sensible fellow...

I am a little curious about one thing, though: why did Fingolfin take the lordship of Dor-lómin away from Fingon and give it to a mortal instead? What was so special about Hador?

The Silm has so little to say about Amrod and Amras that I'm including the generic 'Sons of Fëanor' section in today's post, which contains all the quotes for the Sons of Fëanor being referred to as a collective and when all their names are mentioned in the same paragraph.

There were a couple of interesting points that the 'Sons of Fëanor' section reminded me of, and I wondered if anyone had any ideas about them:
1) Was Formenos to the east or the west of the Pelóri mountains in Valinor?
2) Why did Turgon vow 'to march never at the side of any son of Fëanor' only after the second Kinslaying?
