Quote Prompt
“And seeing no better hope he [Fingon] cried to Manwë, saying: 'O King to whom all birds are dear, speed now this feathered shaft, and recall some pity for the Noldor in their need!' His prayer was answered swiftly.”
Summary Prompt
The first wave of Noldor arrive in Middle-earth, and Fëanor meets his end. Following an attempt at negotiations (sort of) with Morgoth, Maedhros is captured and the remaining members of this first group hold their ground. Meanwhile, Fingolfin arrives with his host from the North. This chapter packs in an immense amount of history of the First Age.
Thematic Prompt
Several times in this chapter, there are mentions of ‘after a hundred years passed’. We often get a lot of information about great battles and important meetings and occurrences, but then there will be swaths of time without many details. Focus on one of these ‘in between’ times and consider how things went from point A to point B for your inspiration today.
