Why are the Vanyar higher than the Noldor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Why is it said that the Vanyar are "accounted" as the highest elves among the high ones...

Why is that? Because of their art? Because of their total obidience to the Valar?

I pressume that they are only higher than the Valar when it comes to arts. Because we know of several powerful Noldor fighting against maiar and Morgoth themselves!

I.e., Galadriel reading and knowing Sauron's thoughts, etc.

What do you think?
