Three obituaries for notable characters from The Silmarillion, for @silmarillionepistolary week day 6: Obituaries!
Chapter 1: An accomplished polymath, creator, and warlord, Fëanáro Curufinwë, High King of the Noldor, passed on to Mandos in Y.T. 1497. A fighter to the end, Fëanáro faced his foes undaunted despite the grim odds, and was surrounded by family as he self-cremated... Chapter 2: A benevolent king and steadfast companion, Findaráto “Felagund” Ingoldo died doing what he loved, helping a friend in need. “He always kept his word,” said his companion Beren Erchamion, who was with him when he passed. “He was the kind of person who always dropped what he was doing just to help out...” Chapter 3: With the death of Ereinion Gil-galad, the title of “High King of the Noldor” has passed with him, as he had no heir and none have stepped forward to claim it. The title died in Mordor alongside its longest holder, and the crown was buried with him.
