Lord of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.

The Kinslaying, while pitiable, was not excusable, and the Teleri were not equally to blame as was suggested in an earlier post; they were merely defending their works. And, while it can be argued that Feanor was doing the same, it was he that initiated the killing and he who was in the wrong to even request the ships, so the Teleri in my mind hold none of the blame. Feanor was not in his right mind, surely, he was fey and wild with ideas of glory and conquest in Middle Earth, but he wrought for himself this insanity and he was too blame for the actions that ensued.
