The Sons of Fëanor taking their Oath, by Jenny Dolfen
The seven Sons of Fëanor, the great Ñoldorin King, led their people from Valinor to rule over kingdoms in the Northeast of Beleriand:
- Maedhros the Tall, who ruled the March of Maedhros, based at the hill of Himring
- Maglor the Mighty Singer, who ruled over Maglor's Gap
- Celegorm the Fair, who ruled over Himlad with Curufin
- Caranthir the Dark, who ruled over Thargelion
- Curufin the Crafty, who ruled over Himlad with Celegorm
- Amrod and Amras, known hunters in Middle-earth
Biography[]
After swearing an Oath to recover the Silmarils at any and all costs, they and their father led the Ñoldor from Valinor to Beleriand in pursuit of Morgoth, who had stolen Fëanor's greatest work, the Silmarils.[1] Since Fëanor died soon after in battle,[2] his sons were one of the key driving forces behind the ensuing wars. Their heroism was great and they were mighty leaders and foes of Morgoth, but because of the Oath of Fëanor (which they all swore), their actions were ultimately turned to evil.
Only one son survived the First Age. Because of the nature of their Oath that they would not permit anyone else to have the Silmarils. This was originally meant to refer to Morgoth, but ultimately encompassed their fellow Elves and even the Valar. Thus, their deaths were generally not in battle with Morgoth but rather in desperate, Oath-driven assaults on other Elves. The only two not killed in such a manner were Maedhros (who killed himself at the very end of the First Age),[3] and Maglor (who survived only to wander sadly alone along the shores of Middle-earth).[3]
