I believe their minds were too innocent. I don't think they could've comprehended the depths of Feanor's desire for his Silmarils, and the evil that such heated emotion can breed. When had this peaceful people ever experienced war? hate? or murder? Olwe was a chieftain not because he had slain all who contended with him, but because he was an elder, revered and honored. Until this time, in moments of disagreement words had been exchanged, not blows. I don't think many of you, if I may be so bold, quite realize how seriously atrocious this deed of Feanor's family was. The entire concept of &quot;overthrowing&quot; was new. The Quendi were &quot;babes as to badness&quot;, and Feanor introduced them to murder.

Tell me, what do you think Abel was expecting just before Cain cruelly slew him?
