As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

I am almost done with the Sil, and I am just before the story of Beren and Luthien, but thus far I'd have to say my favorite elf is Fingolfin. I was so intrigued by his battle with Morgoth and his calling him out to fight. That whole chapter was awesome. To me he seemed the mightiest of elves and was yet so noble and wise, however full of rage and fury with the evil of the world.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh. Forgive me, fairest of all males of Entmoot...Back down, all ye other wannabe fairest males! Dunedain is the fairest!" --Linaewen

Haldir or Galadriel. I'm thinking about naming a daughter Galadriel. Don't ask my why I like Haldir. I just do. But really, I'm more of a hobbit person.

Maedhros, after our little chat off the board, I have decided to overlook everthing you have said about Finrod.
Also, I believe that the Sil. is considered canon eventhough it is flawed and was published posthumously. BoLTs is not canon. The Sil is still considered to be the newer mythology that stands as canon with the LotRs. Also, all mistakes made in the Sil have been corrected in the HoMe series, and none of the points argued in this thread regarding Finrod was among those mistakes.

For example: In the exile of the Ñoldor, Galadriel was one of the princes of the Ñoldor to stand tall that day, but if you read Unfinished Tales and the Letters of JRRT, you would see that the conception that Galadriel took part in the Kinslaying was to be taken out of the story and it would have had to been rewritten again. And his revision of The Silmarillion, actually ends with the Wanderings of Húrin in The War of the Jewels, which is incomplete also. JRRT, never went and finished his Fall of Gondolin, therefore, the Fall of Gondolin, found in The Book of Lost Tales II is his more complete and last account of how Gondolin was destroyed. Granted that there are certain elements that don't belong with the later Mythology ex: Mechanical Dragons, hundreds of Balrogs, etc, but it is an account which was not revised and it's still the last version.
