Inside Middle-earth — Fëanor (Part 2)
Death and theft marked the destiny of Fëanor, who decided to confront the Valar themselves and reclaim what belonged to him.
Fëanor’s life went on without apparent setbacks while he waited for his banishment from Valinor to end and for him to be able to return to his people. However, he had built a home in Formenos where he was at ease and could fully concentrate on his arts, although seeing his father deprived of his throne overshadowed his daily life.
Sometime later, Melkor appeared unannounced. He spoke to Fëanor with kind words, trying to convince the elf of how badly the Valar had treated him and seeking an alliance against them.
However, Fëanor could see beyond Melkor’s speech and realized that he wanted to keep the Silmarils. He immediately ended the conversation and threw Melkor out of Formenos. Melkor, humiliated, pretended to leave Aman but, in reality, was hidden in the south.
After this incident, years of apparent quietness passed again.
The time came, however, when the Valar wanted to end the tense situation between the Elves and proposed to end the rift between the house of Fëanor and Fingolfin. Both were invited to Valinor to make peace.
