Feanor,Turin and the Second Prophecy of Mandos

I also agree that it should be included. My suggestion would be to put it at the end of the first age, as it is in V; I don't think there's really anything to suggest it has to go at the end of the history.

One problem, though: While the part about Turin coming back and killing Morgoth should be fine, the part in HoMe (IV or V?) about Feanor returning the Silmarils to Yavanna, the mountains of Valinor being levelled, etc., disagrees with the later cosmology: that the world was made round, and (more importantly) that Valinor sort of disappeared into its own universe (or at least became inaccessible physically to the rest of the world).
