As others have said, it depends on what you mean by greatness. However, I would tend to think that as with all races, it would depend on the individual. Some of the Noldor were probably greater than some of the Vanyar, and some of the Vanyar were probably greater than some of the Noldor.

Each had his or her own part in the Music...and some a greater understanding of or a greater part in the fullfillment of the will of Iluvatar.

As to being more faithful, there were those of the Noldor who more than redeemed themselves.

Lindil, you're right. Wars do not make one great...unless you are fighting Morgoth! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
