You may consider it moved. I think Lalwende and myself are done.

I don't think so. When a prominent person mysteriously vanishes without a trace, that is usually enough to garner a large amount of fame. Mysteries are eternally intriguing. I think the scale and...

The situation suggests they did. However, I wouldn't think they used it a lot.

I infer this from…



Eru forbid that Turgon actually go so far as to annoy Morgoth. It might make Morgoth angry and we wouldn’t want that.



Under the circumstances, why not?

Hmmm...apparently you subscribe to the school of warfare that holds one should fight one's wars with an eye toward making happy and accommodating one's enemies. I'm afraid I don't agree with that.

Boots I have come to praise Turgon, not to bury him!

You started it (and I was being sarcastic).



This fact has nothing to do with whether or not Turgon did his best for his people or whether or not he was a tyrant.



You forget that...

This does not release the protectors from their duty to try.



Clearly there should never be any rules of any sort because somebody at some point is going to break them.



Because he'd...

But it lasted long enough. After the Battle of Unnumbered Tears it had not yet been long enough.



This line of thought is beginning to get silly.

You are misapplying your terms. Even in the modern world are we completely free to go where we choose across international borders? I seriously doubt Turgon made any undue regulations regarding the...

In Aredhel’s case the “more” did not rise above the level of being able to do whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. I’m afraid I cannot consider this to be a particularly noble motive that is...

Romantic gestures and impulses do not a realm maintain.

For Exhibit A I give you Turin.

I beg your pardon. Ingratitude for what?

And why do you have such a high opinion of Finrod and a low opinion of Turgon when the policies they set for their kingdoms were exactly the same? I...

He may not have been The Noldorian High King, but he was a Noldorian king. :smokin:
