So...apparently, the new issue of Parma Eldalamberon (PE 23) gives us the name of Teleporno's father: Gilitīro (in Telerin) or Gildír (sindarinized).

The reason I mentioned 'Teleporno' and not...

I'm well aware of all the stuff you're warning me about - since Huinesoron and I discussed these things in painful detail.

The main reason why I prefer this 4,056 years First Age figure is because...

So, the timeline I just cobbled together seems to go like this:


VY 865/1 (FA 1) - the Awaking of the Elves
VY 871/1 (FA 865) - Orome finds the Elves
VY 872/62 (FA 1070) - the Great March...

An alternative First Age timeline inspired by Huinesoron

To get one thing out of the way immediately - my proposal for an alternative timeline IS NOT based on the framework that Huinesoron used: in fact, as I'll demonstrate shortly it is largely based on...

I wasn't angry as such, but I definitely was a prick, so an apology is the least I could do.

Did we threw away the 3,100 years idea?

As to Celebrimbor, descendant of Daeron, I have no comments other than one - maybe you shouldn't treat that which Tolkien wrote last as scripture. (Not...

1) the creation of the Two Trees (VY 1/1)

I think the death of the Trees should be VY 887/144, if we follow the timeline faithfully (i.e. 24 VY exact after the Finding - that is VY 863/144, if you adopt the change).
