Where, if anywhere, in the multitudous volumes of HoMe, etc. can one find the ages of Finwe's grandchildren?
I have a list I made myself a couple of years ago, probably pieced together from online sources, good enough for most of my crack!ficcish stories, but not for actual reference.
I want to cite in a character bio of Turgon that he and Finrod were born in the same year. But I need to reference it.
Thanks!
Nevermind! Dawn F. found the immediate cite I needed.
It's in HoMe X, in the Annals of Aman (p. 106 in my version) but in a note as part of "Commentary on the Fourth Section of the Annals of Aman," not the main timeline:
After the annal for 1280 the following Beleriandic entries were added:
1300 Daeron, loremaster of Thingol, contrives the Runes.
Turgon, son of Fingolfin, and Inglor, son of Finrod, born.
(Inglor, of course, was the name JRRT was using for Finrod at the time. To keep things as confusing as possible, Finrod is the name he was using for Finarfin.)
