noldor

For @Glorfindel Goldtress The House of Finwë was hosting yet another brilliant ball, in which all the nobility of the Noldor and many of the Vanyar were invited to attend. Skilled players of stringed instruments played elegant waltz tunes. The great ballroom sparkled with golden candlelight...

Hi all! After reading LotR for about the 4th time, I finally am making it through The Silmarillion! Boy is it dense, and I'm frustratingly unclear as to certain questions and timeline points, so I decided to use Tolkien gateway and "cheat" as I read the book, getting answers the book doesn't...

Mairon/Sauron is about order and stability and all of that. Melkor is clearly nihilistic, basically throwing a cosmic temper tantrum because he can't rule Eru's universe, thus trying to destroy everything. It has to be clear that, even if Melkor had won and somehow not only crushed the...

Hi, Fingolfin is said to be the first high king of the Noldor in Beleriand. But what about Maedhros and Fëanor? They were also kings of Noldor in Beleriand. So why they weren't consider as high kings?

Why didn’t Elrond or even Galadriel claim lordship over all the Noldor in Middle Earth? Galadriel had the stronger claim, as a more direct link to the house of Finwe, but Elrond was a male. I realize both were Lords in their own right. Still, all Elves that would accept one of them as King or...

Specifically, I’m concerned with the fate of Men had the Noldor never returned. The Valar seemed content to live in the bliss of Valinor with the Eldar with little concern for the happenings outside of Aman. So, had the Noldor never returned to contest Melkor and Sauron and eventually spawn...

Hello everyone :) First of all i'd like to introduce myself, as i've just now become a part of this community. This definately looks like the perfect way for me to let out my inner Tolkien geek! :D Looking forward to sharing lots of great discussions with you guys :) Oh well, to the point :)...

This might be a really obvious one, but I can't really think of a good explanation. What were the Valar's design? If we simply erase the rebellion of the Noldor, without substituting anything else in, the Elves of Middle-earth would have quickly been vanquished by Melkor, and so also the Dwarves...

In the early part of the Sil, Tolkien ranks the three Eldarin kindreds by their nobility. Vanyar are considered the most noble of the Elves, Noldor second, and Teleri last. After the exile back to ME and the Kinslaying though, did the Noldor lose this status of being more noble than the Teleri...

It seems that once the Elves got so far in their geneologies, it was no longer so clear as to who was of which clan (with all the mixing and inter-marrying going on). However, was it ever explicitely stated to which Elrond belonged? On his father's side, there is certainly much Noldorin blood...

It' been a while since I've posted anything of substance but I was leafing through my copy of 'Unfinished Tales' this morning and decided to read the account of 'History of Galadriel and Celeborn'. I came across something that I must have missed the first time I read it. Christopher...

A lot of questions might come up here but there is one I'd like to ask now: When Feanor entered Tirion during the darkening of Valinor, did he bring those of Formenos with him or not?

Noldor Fandom (Inder vs Nom) Just a little friendly competition ;) Those of you who are familiar with Noldor fandom at TTF, make the call! :D One is named after a Noldo! hmm... but the other quotes Feanor in his signature.

From: Of the flight of the Noldor. The words of Fëanor to a herald of Manwë who had just uttered the Prophecy of the North: When Manwë heard of this, he replied: The question here is if those songs were well-bought? Without those, of course, there would be no Silmarillion, as we know...

Chapter XV is nothing like "Of Beren and Luthien" or "Nirnaet Arnoediad". It's plain to see it's not one of those remarkable epic parts of the Silmarillion. When I was asked to write this intro, I had to think for a long time before I recalled what it was all about...and no wonder this...

From The Silmarillion. Was it correct for King Finwë of the Noldor to remarry for a seemingly selfish reason? Another topic from the Debate-Tournament. Enjoy:)

I give you here the excellent essay written by gate on my request. ********** Of the necessity of the Noldor The First Battle took place soon after the return of Morgoth to Middle Earth and before the host of the Noldor reached the north-western coast of Lammoth. Morgoth’s purpose was to...

The Return of the Noldor constituting the Chapter 13 Of Silmarillion. [77]. Summary: The Feanorians land at Losgar, in the Firth of Drengist. Here Feanor ordered the Telerian swan ships to be burned. The reek of the burning was not only seen by the folks of Fingolfin in Araman but also by...

At the end of the war of the ring when Frodo sailed to Valinor was Finarfin still king of the Noldor?
