oaths

This is an interesting article examining Fëanor's speech in Tirion after the death of the Trees, and the Oath he took there. It doesn't only look at the published Silmarillion, but other writings by Tolkien where Fëanor's story is told...

Celegorm limped his way through the silent hallways of Amon Ereb, his movement sluggish due to pain and exhaustion. He ran a hand through his shoulder-length hair, grimacing as it got stuck in tangles. He sure made a sorry sight. His clothes torn in so many places he cared not to count, and his...

Eight children Fëanáro Curufinwë had: seven sons, and one daughter. All were like him in fiery fierceness of spirit, yet not all shared his vengeful wrath, or his anger which was so easily provoked. All deeply loved their father and mother, yet some would be torn between obedience and...

The Silmarillion, "Of The Flight of The Noldor": "Then Feanor swore a terrible oath. His seven sons leapt straightway to his side and took the selfsame vow together, and red as blood shone their drawn swords in the glare of the torches. They swore an oath which none shall break, and none...

I get that it can have some pretty drastic consequences, like what happened to the Oath Breakers in Gondor, but still, even THAT would, I suppose, have been a better fate than what befell the sons themselves, not to mention their people. I'm also curious why, unless I am misremembering the...

Fëanor claimed the Silmarils for himself only very loud and clear, but come think about it, was it true at all that the credit for creating them belonged to him solely? It was Yavanna and Nienna who at first brought Telperion and Laurelin into existence, the very same trees which provided...

Iluin and Gothmog, this little exchange has me wondering why Maedhros and Maglor did not just go ahead and break their oath to regain the Silmarils. What would have happened if they did? Would they have been struck by lightning or something? If that indeed would have been the case, I would...

I've been writing this story for some time at MERPG. I'd love some input, if anyone wants to PM it to me:D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the night. Tonight, we embark upon the path of our fathers. Tonight, we begin our journey across the Helcaraxё. Our parents have forbade us to go, but they...

I can't seem to find Elendil's words in Quenya when he reached ME. Not the oath of allegiance he swore to Gil-Galad, that was later repeated by Cirion and Eorll, but the words he uttered at hsi arrival. Anyone, help please? Måns

From the Published Silmarillion:Of the Return of the Noldor I have always wondered how the sons of Fëanor would have acted if Fëanor insted of making his sons keep their oath, would have granted them leave of it. Would have the proud Maedhros, gone back on his word then? Would many evils...
