Finarfin's choice

[Elrian]

Remember also that Feanor had been exiled from Tirion for putting a sword to Fingolfins throat over lies spread by Melkor, when Feanor went into Exile to Formenos Finwe went with him and left his rule of his people to Fingolfin. Finwe deserted his own people also.

While the ban lasts upon Feanor my son, that he may not go to Tirion, I hold myself unkinged, and I will not meet my people.

Also Feanor was responsible for stealing the ships of the Teleri and the kinslaying, as well as the Doom prophesied by Mandos. Then left part of those that followed him behind near the Helcaraxe, sailed to the Firth of Drengist and set the ships on fire, deserting the very people who followed him. In the end Feanor was responsible for the deaths and doom of his people including his own sons.
