The Silmarillion Survivor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My views on suitors...

First, the Sons of Feanor. Maglor appeals most out of these, though technically only Celegorm is unmarried-the two elder brothers are said to have left wives in Valinor. If you vote for either of them though, I'll find a loophole.

Celegorm would, I think, be either a very good or very bad choice, depending on your point of view...

From the other Noldor, Celebrimbor seems to me to be the front-runner; he has experienced suffering as has Nienor, and they share a rather serious temperament. Ereinion is a born bachelor as far as I can see, and Gwindor loves Finduilas, who's still around...

From the Sindar-Mablung could work, but seems a bit too, how can I put it, doggedly loyal, canine...

Dior-if he's chosen, I'll kill off Nimloth before marrying him to Nienor. An interesting choice bound to create lots of strife.

Tuor-No one will have the guts to choose this and go without Earendil. Still, the kinship would provide potential for a proper cursed hero to bring down Elf kingdoms, since Turin failed so spectacularly...opens up the wackiest story-lines, certainly. And it would give Idril what she deserves.

Morgoth: Well, he showed an interest in Luthien. A version of the maiden sacrifice?

I will probably vote Celebrimbor, but I'm tempted by Tuor, Dior, Celegorm and Maglor...

EDIT: For eviction I too wouldn't mind seeing Maeglin avenged. And Earendil's going to need all the help he can get-I've just realised we've evicted or I've killed off

Eonwe, Finarfin, Ingwe

and so rather reduced the Valarin Host...

So to ensure a safer Beleriand:
