Do you know what years the characters in the Silmarillion were born?
I'm particularly interested in the House of Finwë, since this House is loaded with important characters.
Here are a few of the ones I know of:
Fëanor - 1179 YT
Fingolfin - 1190 YT
Finarfin - 1230 YT
Then it goes on in this order:
Fingon > Maedhros > Turgon/Finrod > Angrod > Aegnor > Aredhel/Galadriel
I can't find most of the birth dates ANYWHERE, and I find it weird that Tolkien should decide birth dates for a handful of the characters, and ignore everyone else.
I have a particularly hard time with those pesky Sons of Fëanor, because none of them seem to reveal their birth dates.
