An overview of the Sons of Fëanor and their role in Tolkien's Silmarillion writings

Celebrían wasn't caught by orcs. Unfortunately for Elrond and his children, something even more inexplicable happened...

During his incarceration in Roderick Burgess' basement, Dream receives a strange, ancient visitor.

They say there are cities far to the East and South, for those who can find them, whose entire populations slowly forgot the need for flesh and faded into memory of routine, living in their empty homes and walking their empty streets even when those homes and streets are no more.

For thousands of years the City has awaited you.

Grief awaits you outside these halls, Fëanáro, Nienna told him, her voice like the gentlest fall of rain upon spring leaves. 

Grief haunts me inside them, Fëanor replied.

“What if,” said Manwë, regarding Maedhros with star-bright eyes, blue as sapphires and piercing as blades, “you were sent from these Halls for a purpose, son of Fëanáro?”
“I suppose, my lord,” Maedhros said slowly, “that would depend upon the purpose.”

Maedhros is sent back to Middle-earth, in the company of the Maia Olórin. 

Fingon and Maedhros find a dead orc in the forest - and a baby.

A mother decides to do whatever it takes to keep her child save.
