Whom They Fear by Michiru
Fanwork Notes
This was my first published Silmarillion fic, and it's grown on me. The whole of Fingolfin's family are at a distinct disadvantage with me, in that... I'm sorry... I really don't like Fingolfin. And yes, that does extend to his children. And no, the fact that Nelyo will happily vouch for Findecáno does not change that. I respect them. I really do. I try to stay true to their characters. But I just don't like them. The point being, the fact that this story has become one of my favorites (that I've written) is remarkable. It's also probably all thanks to Eriala, who said such lovely things about it on FanFiction.
Names:
Some people, I know, are unfamiliar with the Quenya names and nicknames of the characters, being unlike me (in that I'm obsessed with the Noldor,) so here are the Sindarin equivalents (centered, because this looks awful otherwise):
Maitimo- Maedhros
Findecáno/Cáno- Fingon
Fëanáro- Fëanor
Findaráto- Finrod
Angaráto- Angrod
Macalaurë- Maglor
Tyelcormo- Celegorm
Carnistir- Caranthir
Curufinwë/Curvo- Curufin
Ambarussa- the twins, here just Amros (according to Peoples of Middle-earth, my final source for the twin debate)
Tyelperinquar- Celebrimbor
Moringotho- ancient form of Morgoth
Words:
For the same reason as above, here is a short glossary:
Moriquende- ‘Dark Elf,’ Noldorin term for the Sindar who have never seen the Two Trees. It is considered offensive by the Sindar, and in this case is used incorrectly, as Elu Thingol did indeed see the Trees, though he chose to stay behind. Plural: Moriquendi.
Atar- father.
Endor- Middle-earth.
