I really enjoyed this peek into a pivotal scene in the Silmarillion and all the details you worked in, inspired by the prompt. Fëanor's sword becoming the sign of the Kingship, Maedhros using the royal We only to give it up. And then the details you added, like Maedhros writing in his own hand to Fingon, but dictating to Maglor to write Fingolfin. Maedhros and Curufin in Fingon's head made me laugh - great touch.

Well-written and well-crafted ficlet, and great use of the prompt!
