The prompt is for the card Sons of Fëanor: "Maedhros alone stood aside."
This is one of the most dramatic moments of the story of the earliest days of exile of the Noldor. Fëanor, who still had the wherewithal to unite the Noldor and lead them out of Tirion and onto this epic quest, seems to have lost his ability to reason somewhere between Tirion, Alqualondë and the shores of Middle-earth. But Maedhros standing aside when Fëanor seeks to burn the ships set the stage of the events that will shape all of the First Age.
