The captivity of Elros and Elrond
Quote:
What do you mooters think about this? Whatever the reason was, the children provided Maglor with an opportunity to get something significant in his life to care about other than the terrible oath. Perhaps that was his very motive for taking them. He was married, but his wife probably remained in Valinor and we don't know whether he had children of his own.

I think that it was just a rash action taken. They saw Elros and Elrond and just took them and left.

I think that he had an inkling that Elwing was still alive with the Silmaril, and took E&E as hostages. There's not much bad that I wouldn't believe about the sons of Fëanor.
