Into that land he gathered most of his kin by Himring

Fanwork Notes

Written for the Kids These Days challenge.

There are hints here of the following, although more implied than spelled out:

B4: full of themselves

N5: don’t respect elders

G4: "They just don’t listen!"

O2: ... but think they know everything

Also, if you squint:

O3: poor fashion choices

As implied in this, and also in the summary, there is quite some tension here between father and son. Not sure whether I would go so far as to call this a dysfunctional relationship, but you might.

The Silmarillion Writers' Guild is more than just an archive--we are a community! If you enjoy a fanwork or enjoy a creator's work, please consider letting them know in a comment.

Such an interesting moment that touches on some canon I rarely see explored or talked about! I especially liked the bit about Finrod intervening for them when they didn't even know about it and how Hathol reacts. 

Thank you! 

There is no evidence at all that Finrod did this, as far as I know, but when I considered where Magor's settlement was supposed to have been, it  just seemed very likely, given what else we know about him! 

I agree it doesn't come up all that often but at the time of the Silmarillion Re-read, I remember, we discussed some of this, meaning Dor-lomin and Ladros. Depending on how you look at it,  it can look rather like a multi-culturalism fail and retreat into imposed segregation, with the Noldor to blame.

There is certainly some intercultural tension here! I guess I am suggesting that these developments might have been a bit messier, more organic and less planned than they look at first glance. And if you dig around in HoME, you can  come up with the usual amount of contradictory material.
