If my memory serves me well, in the Silmarillion, the Noldor in valinor were taught the art of war from the whispering of Melkor. He placed contention in their hearts thus beginning the first of several uprisings among the Noldor against the Valar. He was essentially the father of contention and lies.

Feanor was one of the first to make items for war: great helms, shields and swords. Along with his skills, he was a great orator and could rally up the people to his cause, or so thought what was his cause.
