Youre right-Maitimio, one of beautiful bodily form, called so by his....mother Feanor was also good with his hands ....his Jewels had quite the reputation, or so I hear. Finrod eat you're heart out

Hmm - If you are going to that, I would be more concerned if he was called so by his father

Not fast enough. WHAP!

uno, in case u didnt notice, Fëanor was one of the most vicious of elves... he made his own sons swear on his deathbed that they'd kill anyone hu withheld a Silmaril; he did make them, and I dont deny they were of great repute, but haughtiness has no connection to beauty, only self-pride.
Maedhros, I hold nothing against, he was a good guy.
Think about it: Fëanor withheld the Silmarils and allowed the Darkening of Valinor to pass because of pride.
Curufin and Celegorm were threatening to assail Doriath if Thingol didn't give Celegorm Lúthien, just because Celegorm couldn't control his lust.
Because they didn't find the Silmaril in Doriath wen Elwing took it, they decided to take Dior's other sons and leave them in the forest to starve.
All for the sake of the Oath, which by those wrongdoings and bloodsheds and others in the end was made void, even to Maedhros hu repented, as Eönwë told them.
Or maybe u just havent red Quenta Silmarillion properly -- wat do u think?

You know, I'm not being sarcastic or anything, but I really like the way you spell "who" (hu). I find it far more pleasing to the eye, and, in fact, more practical than the correct spelling.

aawww, tanx....
wen u say 'Poe Rox' at the end of ur name, r u referrin to Edgar Alan Poe?
just wundrin, cuz i luv him too.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

The one and only.

EDIT: And that "hu" thing is unusual coming from me, as I usually don't like "chat-speak" and similar things.

I liked Maedhros for quite a while - I can't resist the heroic thing, so hit me with an Ent stick for a fangirl - but when he started being nasty... I kinda went off him.
SGH - yet *another* Finrod lover here! *ducks Admin stick* But I'll share him! See you on the Sil-fangirl thread, hmm?

Feannel, I will post a detailed reply later on. Oh and I have read the Silmarillion properly, thank you.

[Elvellyn]

Okay, this weekend I'm going to lock myelf in a closet and finish reading the Silmarillion. Wish me luck!

[Linaewen]

Thanks for all the good advice in this column. Unfortunately, I'm already at 'Chapter 21: of Turin Turamba', so I can't really put these things into practise until I read it again. Which will be in a while, seeing as I am re-reading LotR again, followed by UT and HoME. It will take me ages to get back to the Silm.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it difficult. I found I had to backtrack a lot to remember who all the characters were (Why did Feanor have to have so many sons?!), but the index at the back was very useful. Except, it also describes parts of what happened to the character, such as 'slain by ....' which I haven't read yet, so it kind of ruins it.

But it is my favourite book, so far. I think it is so difficult a text because it's a history, so the events are not very slow, like a normal book, which also has more detail and has what characters say etc, making it easier to read and comprehend.

Well, I ment to say it is a book of map. Its called the Map of the Beleriand.

Grr. I didn't get to finish reading this weekend. Stupid history project. And now, the library wants it back!

Buy your own copy. You can take as long as you like to read it (in my case, it's weeks). The downside to this is that every time anyting happens to my copy I have a minor heart attack (just ask my mother).

Hmmmm. Interesting name Linaewen. Very interesting indeed.
From the Published Silmarillion: Of Beleriand and its Realms

and there was a great mere in the midst of Nevrast, with no certain shores, being encircled by wide marshes. Linaewen was the name of that mere, because of the multitude of birds that dwelt there, of such as love tall reeds and shallow pools.

I remember seeing someone who had that name in another forum, could that be you? You can tell who I am by my avatar.

Ah, well. I was looking through the index and I fell in love with the name. It's beautiful, starts with an L and was thought up by Tolkien. Perfect!
I know what means. So I'm named after a lake of birds. That's how I imagine myself. I am a lake, I have tall reeds, birds love me. Plus, other Tolkien characters have been named after trees etc

No, I only live at Entmoot. I spend so much time here (whenever I can- i've been swamped with work lately) that I don't really have much time to go to other forums. The only other forums I've been to were linked from ppl's sigs here anyway.
