Re: Feanor,Turin and the Second Prophecy of Mandos

I'd like to see the Second Prophecy included, although since I've not read the relevant sections in War of the Jewels I can't really comment on Tolkien's later views on it.

But as to where it should be placed, VI indicates that the Prophecy itself was spoken after Fionwe's (Eonwe's) return to Valinor, so if you want things in chronological order then the best place would be after the Tale of Earendil. On the other hand, I think the Prophecy, if it's included, would be a very fitting end to the entire work.
