I don't like Maeglin anyway. Just like I don't like Feanor. (No, I don't hate him like someone said in the Feanor thread. ) Last edited by Linaewen : 04-04-2003 at 10:36 AM. |

I was just kidding about it (or, more correctly, I was going to write Fëanor-bashing, but I forgot the word )

Well, in Tolkien's latter writings, Galadriel and Celeborn were both were grand-children of Olwe, whereas in earlier passages Celeborn was a Nandorin Elf, which was changed to him being a grand-son of Elmo, brother of Elwe. The change of genalogy to a grandson of Olwe would make them first cousins, though whether this reference can be considered canonical, I am unsure.
I think that 'Laws and Custom's mentions that Elves generally didn't marry with their cousins. I see this as a mainly Eldarin customs, since Avarin interaction was pretty much non-existent, especially in Beleriand where the Tatyarin Avari were wholly unfriendly with any of the Eldar (See 'Quendi and Eldar' for more) and the Nelyarin Avari mainly lived in Doriath/Ossiriand. So whether the marriage between cousisn apllied to Avarin Elves I don't know, but I think that they shared the 'instinct' of not marrying their cousins/brothers and sisters as it may have been a common Elven feeling. |

Why? Falagar. It's not that hard. I'll make an effort to remember. It's just because I've read so many threads tonight (been on for four hours) that I got confused.
