Noldor Man's saviours?

[akhtene]

no theme may be played that hath not it's uttermost sourse in me, nor can any alter the music in my despite. (Eru to Melkor)

It was Eru's initial design that Elves and men dwell in M-E. But the Valar took most of elves away from it. IMHO they were just exercising the power given to them. And probably it made sense initially, as Valinor was the proper place for learning and self-development. But I don’t belive this state of things totally agreed with Eru’s plans. Thus M-E was left unprotected and elves failed their role of ELDER children and guardians of men.

Well, the revolt of Feanor, apart from many grievances it caused, returned the best representatives of elven race - the daring Noldor - back to where they were intended to live. And I believe that Noldor leaving in bitterness made them more ferocious fighters against Morgoth and Sauron, as well as made it impossible for them to escape to Valinor again before their struggle is over.

The Music couldn't be edited.
