Well, I said that it would muck things up ...

But I must admit that I had forgotten that little fact.

Now, let's see. If we marry Nienor off to an Elf they will, unless they accomplish some act worthy of Eru's grace, live together for what will seem to the Elf only the flickering of an eye. That would leave one very broken-hearted Elf. Still, I'm tempted to suggest Celeborn, simply to save the poor chap from an eternity of being hen-pecked by Galadriel.

As for eviction, I agree with Lalaith that there are far too many Noldor left. To appease Ang, we can choose one who will not be involved in the forthcoming Fall of Gondolin. No idea who Salgant or Ereinon are, so they seem likely candidates, unless anyone would care to suggest a good reason for keeping them.

It would be a shame to cut Ancalagon down before he has had a chance to reach maturity. Besides, he plays rather an important role, later on doesn't he? Then again, it is possible that Smaug and Scatha have already hatched out. I would be happy to remove Ancalagon if it allowed them a role in the story.
