“It is said that Míriel answered Mandos, saying: ‘I came hither to escape from the body, and I do not desire ever to return to it. My life is gone out into Fëanáro, my son. This gift I have given to him whom I loved, and I can give no more. Beyond Arda this may be healed, but not within it.’”

FINWË'S LAST STAND

As Nienna grieved for the destruction of the Two Trees, Noldor messengers arrived from Formenos bearing ill news. They spoke of a nameless darkness that had moved north, and within it moved a strange power for which they had no name and DARKNESS spilled from it. But Melkor was there too and had gone to the House of Fëanor and had slain Finwë, High King of the Noldor, before his own doors, spilling the first Blood of the Eldar in the Blessed Realm.

Finwë was the only one who had not run from the horrors of the Dark.

Melkor had penetrated the Fortress of Formenos and had taken all the jewels of the Noldor. The Silmarils too, were unaccounted for.

Fingon by Elena Kukanova

Of all the children of Finwë he is justly most renowned: for his valour was as a fire and yet as steadfast as the hills of stone; wise he was and skilled in voice and hand; truth and justice he loved and bore good will to all, both Elves and Men, hating Morgoth only; he sought not his own, neither power nor glory, and death was his reward.
