You're thinking about Finrod too much, SGH - you forgot Maedhros' epessë was Russandol ("copper-top") for his red hair inherited from his mom.

Rian's right Maedhros and the twins had red hair. It's not any of the brothers' fault that they did bad things, It was the curse of the oath that made them like they were. I can understand that. Thanks for the warning Sister Golden Hair, Who or what is this Stick of Wrath? I'm logging off for an hour or so. Do I need my sword and armour when I get back to defend myself and my beloved Feanorians?

It doesn't look like you've needed my help, though... That was quite entertaining to read... I wish I'd been there... What actually is there to like about Thingol... if you ask me, half of the problems between Doriath and the Feanorians was his own fault... and then the Dwarves and the Nauglamir? Can that guy do anything right? Quote:

Come now, you seem to be giving at least some attention to Fingon also.
What's a poor fox to do when the one she loves is shamelessly hogged by the Queen of Nargothrond...? *warily eyes the SoW*

Maybe. Anyway... just stay away from the Silmarils then. Though... I suppose that shouldn't be too hard... SGH, why does everyone else dislike him so much? Why all the accusations of perfection?

You're probably right.
He's obviously not perfect. He's simply the best of the Silmarillion characters, or one of. Seeing as how he's not a kinslayer, or homicidally obsessive, or incestuous, or a mixture of all three and many more... But because half of the other characters seem to be pyschotic, by comparison he seems perfect. And boring. I don't see what about him seems boring... Now, if you're going to make a claim like that about Thingol or even Turgon... I could understand. Kellquenti, welcome back. Sadly, I have to go in less than five minutes. I'll see you around a bit next week, I'm sure, when I can stay on the internet practically 24/7. Anyone can tell you... I don't get off...

As for what you just said, I think that fits rather perfectly with Beleg exept that he is perfect, or, was *sob* until he passed away |

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Húrin. I mean he killed the seventy trolls that were guarding Gothmog and then slew an uncounet amount of orcs before he finally got captured not slain. He then survived 28 years captivity in Angband and never asked for mercy for either him of his kin. After being freed he then slew Mim for betraying his son so that makes him a good father. What's not to like?
