Gorthaur the Cruel has just left Hobbiton.
#1 Why do I think Beren to be a dummy? If he wanted all three of the Silmarils, he should've just taken the iron crown of Morgoth & back to Menegroth.

#2 the Silmaril says that after Finrod was slain, he was able to walk with Finarfin, his father again. Does this mean his soul was rehoused like Glorfindel?

#3 Did the house of Fingolfin & Finarfin (except Galadriel) swore the oath of Feanor?

#4 The passage below gives me the impression that the children of Finarfin were skilled in magic & enchantment.
Quote:
By the arts of Felegund their own forms & faces were changed into the likeness of Orcs;
The Silmarillion - Of Beren & Luthien

#5 If Huan had lived during the time of Sauron, would he be able to win against him with his ring on?

This was exactly what Luthien did when she disguised Beren & Huan. So did the children of Finarfin come near in magic?

Hopefully other will asnwer my ever growing misc. questions. I've got a new one. Now after the War of Wrath, the xiles were allowed to return not to Valinor but in Avallone (Tol Eressea). What about for the remaining great Eldar? Surely they would not band Galadriel to dwell in Aman (Valimar) to let her be content with an isle (Eressea) in sight of Valinor? After all she was deemed greatest among the Eldar & had the power to intercede for Frodo & Gimli.
