The Silmarilion

[elbereth]

I don't think that it is meant to be a story...more like a history lesson I think...so it at times is rather disjointed...but well worth a read at least once or twice....after that you should be a little more familiar with it...I use it as a reference book at times...I also try to use the Unfinished Tales also....although I don't have all the books I hope to add to my collection next year...

I haven't read it, but I know the basics behind it and it sounds amazing. I am going to read it when I am intelligent enough.

I find Christopher Tolkiens work very informative. def. worth the read

I was wandering if anybody could tell me what happens to Elwe Singollo? His story is told in the 'Of Thingol and Melian' Chapter.
I can't figure out whether after the spell he stays with Melian, who he is in love with, or if she leaves him? I would really appreciate any explanation or opinions at all, CiderX

[Martial_monk]

"Melian departed in grief from Middle Earth forever to the Undying Lands after Thingol was slain by some of the treacherous Dwarves."

Hope that helps

They do stay together and build the Kingdom of Doriath.  He becomes a very powerful King and they have a daughter together, Luthien.  Later, as Martial_monk pointed out, after Thingol is killed, she goes back to Valinor.

I just finished it... I like the chapter "Of Turin Turambar"

His sister... Nienor (think thats the name) "Mourning" losing her memory, him finding her and naming her Niniel, then marrying her...

Incest! lol

 And the bit at the end, Akallabêth, is brilliant!

Tolkien sure liked to keep it in the family... Arwen and Aragorn being cousins and all.  

[Amy Lee]

Yeah... and theres another bit in Akallabêth where a guy from the non-faithful side marries the queen from the faithful side just so he can rule, and she is his first cousin...

[Cider]

so is Thingol the same person as Elwe Singollo?

this book is so good but i have to read evey paragraph around 3 times before it sinks in!
thankyou very much monk and Idril for helping me

Yes he is. His other name was Elu Thingol.

[Amy Lee]

Its confusing when they change the names "And he was henceforth known as... The Black Sword"

Nienor, Niniel

And the rest..

Whats quite funny about tolkien is that Turin was given seven other names. Turambar
Adanedhel (Elf-man),Neithian Meaning (The Wronged),Gorthl (dread helm) Argwrwaen (Blood-stained), Mormegil(black sword), DagnireGlaurunga (Bane of glaurung) and finally wildman of the woods.
