Re: Kingship of the Noldor

Thanks for the excellent overview Elenion.

It seems that shibboleth only [in the case of the Noldorin princes] amplifies and clarifies things in the earlier silmarillions and should be whenever possible worked into the final form of the Silmarillion.
we are given so many excellent details: Feanor killing his youngest son. The interrelationships of the princes . The attempt of Turgon to save his wife. The long plaited hair of Fingon....

To leave such things out of a New silmarilion would to my mind make the project virtually pointless.
