where is feanor and his people?

[monkey10120]

i have just read the chapters 10 and 11 about the creation of the moon and the elves meeting the dwarves.
but i need to know this....
where is Feanors army and the noldor.
they have disapeared for those chapters, but however Fingolfin is mentioned.
this is my first time reading the silmarillion and i only read the hobbit.
so anything will help!!!

Read further and you'll come across Fëanor and his ilk soon enough. That's as much as I'll tell.

Chapters 10 and 11 don't go forward without the Noldor, they go back and tell what happened elsewhere while the Noldor were on their way out of Valinor, heading for Middle-earth. Chapter 9 ends with telling that Fingolfin's host

blew their trumpets in Middle-earth at the first rising of the Moon

... and then the story goes back to tell how the Moon came to be, and what had happened among the Elves who had stayed in Middle-earth.

Don't worry - as Eärniel says, you'll come back to Fëanor and the Noldor soon enough ...

A vast majority of the resistance against Morgoroth was Feanor's people, though it's not detailed as much as other stories.

I'm not sure about that brownjenkins. I'm not even sure it's any sort of majority, let alone vast.

Fingolfin had a greater host to start with. Feanor surely lost many in the Battle Under the Stars. And thereafter the majority (approximately 2/3 if the maps are to scale) of the front-line territories were held by Fingolfin's people and the sons of Finarfin.
