Re: re:doom of the noldor
I'm almost surprised that no one views the Doom only as a curse. I tend to agree that the Doom was not, in and of itself, a curse. As a prophecy, it was very accurate. To the Noldor, especially as time passed, it may have seemed to be a curse, but in reality the events which unfolded in the First Age were driven by the Oath of Feanor and his sons and the circumstances -- the Noldor had taken on an impossible task, the overthrow of a Vala.

were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
