Feanor

red -you are of course right about feanor. I did not put him in the same class as 4 of his sons for the reason that he actually produced some of elvendom's greatest works: the feanorian script, the Palantiri, the Silmarilli, ,but it is true caranthir,curufin and celegorm especially seemed to have shared his lack of conscience. It is a scary thought that the folowers of these 4 sons of Feanor must have been a rough and cruel lot to have the brothers as lords.
It was posted thet Maedhros was the kindest of the Son. I would disagree and put Maglor in that position as he tried to talk Maedhros out of regaining the Silmarills after the War of Wrath and harboured Elrond and Elros instead of leavin them to die in the forest.Although i will agree that on occasion Maedhros def. showed a nobility of character missing in the other 5.
