"He was an elf of honor."
Sorry friend, you willnot be able to convince me that there is an ounce of honour in killing fellow fighters of Morgoth over the Silmarill's, vow or no.
The vow was wrong.
Keeping the vow, by slaughtering other Elves in Doriath and Sirion's havens was wrong. The oath had become a demonic compulsion, not a virtue to be upheld at all costs! Do we not read over and overthat, 'the oath worked ever for Morgoth and never against.'
The Feanorians were helping Morgoth!
Just as Celebrimbor helped Sauron!
There was some seriously bad ju-ju going down here!
