"The elves would not wed in times of war" This may have been at the root of the elves' population problem

It’s so beautiful describing death as an alien concept from the elvish perspective. They were like “omg wtf is that? why are you all dying?” and then they just sat there all sad and confused.

I always thought it was so tragic how the turning point in the magic song battle, when Sauron began to defeat Finrod, was the First Kinslaying. Finrod was drawing strength from Valinor and good things in the world, and Sauron used not just a terrible thing, but a terrible deed the Elves had done, to strengthen the side of evil. It's as if to say, evil in the world is one thing, but it's the evil within his own people, the act that stained the holy land where Finrod is drawing his strength from, that is his weakness. Even despite the fact that Finrod himself was likely totally innocent. So even poor Finrod, innocent and possibly the kindest, most benevolent, most loyal of all the princes, was caught up in the far-reaching consequences of what Feanor did, and it was to some extent his downfall. He's trapped in the Doom of Mandos, and it makes me so sad.

Even in an age of heroes, Finrod stood tall.

Over the last weeks I read the Silmarillion to my girllfriend who was never a fan of Lord of the Rings or anything related. She loved the initial creation of Arda and the stories of Sun and Moon, Luthien and Beren and Earendil and Elwing. Turins story made her really sad but she thought it was amazing as well. There is so much beauty in Tolkiens world that most people dont even know about.

Fin rod really is loyal. Leaves his kingdom to go on berens journey. Now that’s loyalty to its finest.
