Then a chart showing everyone’s reaction to the Oath of Feanor, and finally one showing the lineup for the departure of the Noldor from Valinor.If you’d like to read more about the Noldorin royal family and their complicated relationships, I’ve got plenty more posts for you:Finwean InfographicElvish Cross-Cultural Relations: The NoldorFeanor’s LispUsing “Finwe” as a PrefixOn Feanor’s Abandonment of FingolfinMaedhros and Fingon’s Gift ExchangeGaladriel’s HairAredhel: White Lady of the NoldorEarwen and AnaireGaladriel’s Part in the Exile of the Noldor -- source link
