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.

Some clarifications-

Ereinion is Gil-Galad's real name.

Salgant is the Lord of Harps at Gondolin, a fat, merry, comic and contemptible character. I find him quite interesting.

[Lalaith]

Ang, I am NOT going to countenance Morgoth for Nienor. That really is too pervy for words.

[Anguirel]

It would make an amusing "La Belle et La Bete" write-up...

Anyone for evicting Idril? Oh, blast, Earendil pops up again. Why does he have to have such an irritating mother?

Ancalagon's only role, Saucie, is as Earendil's hunting trophy. "I sailed to Middle-earth and all I got was this lousy Dragon..."

Come now, Ang, you can think up other things for him to do, surely. If he survives, how about giving him a role in the Fall of Gondolin?

For the task: I shall vote ++Celeborn for the reason stated earlier, and because it amuses me.

For eviction: I shall vote ++Celegorm, because he's still a nasty piece of work and there are too many Noldor.

[Anguirel]

For reasons set out above, I shall vote for ++CELEBRIMBOR.

Votes so far:

Nienor's Hand

Mim:1
Celeborn:1
Celebrimbor:1

Eviction

Ancalagon:2
Celegorm:1

Due to the late start, votes will close at 1:30 pm ish tomorrow.

Due to my ongoing illness with fever and a terrible headache, this won't be a long post. I'll just vote on the basis of other people's arguments. Sorry!

As for a man for Nienor, I want someone noble. She deserves some happiness in her life, especially if we look at her life in the original version. Someone like Glorfindel. Or Dior perhaps, at least half human (if you don't count Luthien as a mortal after her return to ME). Celebrimbor seems like a good choice too. Hmm... Glorfindel is about to die (fall of Gondolin) and Dior has found his Nimloth. That leaves:

++Celebrimbor

As for the eviction, I can't miss this opportunity to get rid of yet an other "evil C", the last one. He'll have to join his evil brothers Curufin and Caranthir.

++Celegorm

Was not going to vote, but then I reaised that the lovely person mim deserved a nice wife. He has suffert so much and it would allso be fun to see what that will lead too. . .

++Mim

I am getting rather iritatet with Celegorm so he will have to go...(og for at hjælpe Anders)

++Celegorm
