There are a number of threads on various sites detailing the timeline between the wounding of the Two Trees and Fingolfin crossing the ice. People are arguing that the journey took 33 years!
As I re-read the Silmarillion, that timeline seems crazy.
1) It makes no narrative sense. Feanor is...
I asked the artificial intelligence named Poe who is the greatest swordsman in the entire Legendarium and Middle Earth. Turin was first in the ranking. And the artificial intelligence said that Turin was the greatest in the ranking in its opinion. And it listed reasons such as Turin killing...
I read the chapter of the flight of the Noldor a while back and I have had this question for quite sometimes now.
Could Fingolfin's host have gone back the way they came from? Back to Tirion?
Was anything there stopping them from doing it?
Okay, so I scoured through all 46 pages of the Silmarillion forum and found nothing that addressed this, so here now I feel I must ask my burning question(s):
Following Fingolfin’s death in his battle with Morgoth, why did Thorondor carry his body to Gondolin, rather than bring it back to...
Fingolfin is the best and most skilled and greatest swordsman who has ever been witnessed in not only middle-earth mythology, but also all imaginary and fictional universes, and all created universe, including humans in real-world history. he is even capable of defeating characters such as...
The top 3 swordsmen with the greatest success in the wars of middle earth history. namely eönwe fingolfin and ecthelion. Which do you think has the greatest success and sword skill in all middle earth history?
many people on this forum and on quora argue that fingolfin and many other elves can be defeat turin. So why do they think so? Why is it ignored that Turin kills Morgoth? Okay, Turin may not have killed Morgoth alone. But it doesn't say that he killed Morgoth with help or with someone else. It...
you all know that turin killed melkor in dagor dagorath. a forum member said that turin in dagor dagorath is much stronger and superior than turin in first age. do you think so? and is turin turambar stronger and superior to fingolfin in the battle of dagor dagorath? please don't say dagor...
In dagor dagorath, turin turambar is the one who will kill melkor. Moreover, in the same battle he kills melkor, which even tulkas could not defeat. However, since fingolfin could not defeat melkor and only crippled it, why do most people on this forum and on the internet think fingolfin is a...
as you all know, aragorn in lotr movies is much stronger than aragorn in the book. he defeats the witch king and 5 other nazgul. he kills tens of uruk-hai alone etc. etc. what if aragorn and fingolfin in the movie universe had a 1 to 1 sword duel under normal and equal conditions, which would...
Except for eönwe, fingolfin is shown as the best swordsman on all sites on the internet. So if he is so talented, why couldn't he defeat the morgoth in a one-on-one sword fight?
one is the one who will kill the melkor and the other is the one who leaves the melkor lame. one is the best warrior of the men and the other the elves.which one?
I purchased some artwork for a book I am writing but will have no more need of them once the book is published. I will send the original file and all rights to the pictures including rights to make a profit in any way you wish. I only reserve the right to continue to include them in any future...
Hi guys, i just finished this commission, i was really excited to do this art because 99% of the arts of this battle, Morgoth is always on focus, he's always that huge figure in front of the screen, and Fingolfin is a tiny thing compared to him, and almost every time hi is with his back turned...
Hello, i just oil painting Fingolfin vs Morgoth and wonder your thoughts. Scene from Silmarrillion, moment where Fingolfin calls Morgoth out at the gate of Angband. i think original work belong to Joel Kilpatrick.
