SGH is not an atan... right...?

I always thought that the Queen of Nargothrond is an elf.

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 07-25-2003, 12:11 PM

That is correct RTB.

If she says so.

Get back on topic guys.

I have to say that Finrod is my favourite as well. Unlike many of the other chief characters in the Silmarillion, Finrod comes out as being the least flawed. He was so greatly respected by the Dwarves of Ered Luin that they gave him the name that he is commonly known as (Galadriel in LoTR mentions Felagund as opposed to her brother's real name). The Dwarves also gifted him the Nauglamir (which apparently he prized above any others of his treasures).

In addition, Tolkien also states that Finrod was the first person that met the newly arrived "men" into Beleriand. I take this as being an honourary tribute to Finrod.

Finrod Felegund and Fingolfin.Finrod for everything he have done for Beren and Fingolfin becouse he had strength to chalenge Morgoth.Why all my favorite characters have to die

Lady_of_the_Golden_Wood · 08-30-2003, 02:02 PM

Yes, Finrod Felagund.

Lord Manafirogh · 08-31-2003, 02:18 PM

There's so many too choose from. I think Feanor and Finglofin are two of the greatest if not THE greatest elf kings. Its hard to choose between them but if I would choose Fingolfin as my favourite only because feanor came across as the bad guy in the beggining. As in strength i think feanor is slightly stronger. Not much to chose betwen them though. So there you go Fingolfin is slightly the better king but closely followed by his brothers. Not to forget the hidden king Turgon Another great elf. Too many for me but maybe fingolfin since he had the guts to face Morgoth by himself.

durin's bane · 10-01-2003, 05:55 PM

Fingolfin is my favourite. He was really brave in challenging Morgoth, but he didn't have much sense in doing that.

Aden · 11-02-2003, 12:37 PM

My favorite elven king is Gil-Galad the last high king of noldor after Turgon's death.

macmico · 12-03-2003, 10:05 AM

this is a tough one between fingolfin and finrod felagund.

finrod because he sacrificed himself to keep his oath,

fingolfin because well the whole of angband hid from his onset when he challenged morgoth

cool kings of valour

Feanor was very spiteful, and put his own ego ahead of the interests of the Noldor, whom he ruled. That is not the way an Elf-King should act.

Maybe it's time to revive the 'Men of the Sil' thread.
