I thought of this when I read Saulotus's question in the quiz room about a child born out of wedlock. In the Silmarillion, it is stated that none of Feanor's sons ever took a wife, yet Celebrimbor is said to be the son of Curufin. Is this another out of wedlock birth? Is this elaborated upon in one of the HOME series (since I haven't read these)? Or did I just miss something?
