The Silmarillion Survivor

[Gothmog]

arcticstorm:

Gothmog, from what I have read, it seemed to me that in the Silmarillion he wanted the silmaril for itself and used the Nauglamir as an excuse. I believe that given the chance, he will take it.

From what I've read, Telchar was never close to the silmaril. It is said that great craftmen from Nogrod made Nauglamir and that they felt the lust to possess it and therefor betrayed Thingol. Nowhere is the name Telchar mentioned, and as he is quite famous he should have been if he was involved. If there isn't more information somewhere else than in Silmarillion... I looked it up in Silm. to be sure.

And regarding Dior: personally I don't the eviction of him will make such a big difference. I mean a male called "the beautiful", does that sound like a mighty warrior?
