Reclaiming a Throne
In Arda, there were 6 elf kings: Finwe, Feanor, Fingolfin, Fingon, Turgon, and Ereinion Gil-galad. After the death of Gil-Galad, the title was never used. According to the system, Elrond, great-grandson of Turgon, would be next in line to inherit the kingship by the Third Age, as the grandson of Turgon, Earendil, doesn't live in Middle Earth. Since Elrond never became king, the title ended, but not the line. Many Noldo still lived, either in Endor, Middle Earth, or Aman. In Valinor, Finarfin, youngest son of Finwë, ruled the Noldo, as he didn't follow Feanor or Fingolfin into Middle Earth. My question is, after Elrond departed from Middle Earth to Valinor, would he remove Finarfin of his power and reclaim the title of King of the Noldor, as the people were united there?
