Poor guys......Oh well who wants a martinie?
I would like mine shaken, not stirred please...
and yes the Noldor were bad a$$e$$...
the Vanyar were wimpy the Teleri were three degrees better than they...
the thing about the Vanyar is they did practically nothing and their king Ingwe sat at the feet of Manwe...or I could be mistaken...
Oh Yeah...the Avari...now they were close to the Noldor in likeness than the Teleri or the Vanyar...^^(Fingolfin!!!...Feanor annoying!!!) 😛
and when I say in likeness...I mean they lived hard and toiled hard in ME rather than in Valinor like the other elves...
Now get me wrong...the Teleri are mighty fine ship builders and the Vanyar are pretty good at song and poetry....HA!
But when it came to battle and the use of sword and bow and arrows, well the Noldor and the elves of ME were second to none...until the coming of men...and the treachery of the dwarves...the constant harassment of the orcs...Oh yeah...and Sauron being a thorn to everyone's side.

Precisely 😄
The Vanyar sang and made poems but hardly ever suffered the losses of war... the Teleri of Aman had maybe one grievous day (here ignoring the Sindar of Beleriand)... but fate seems to have hated the Noldor, the only ones who did something, changed the world, tried to live their lives

because the Noldo dared to tempt fate and suffered for it...even if Melco had a hand in pushing the door open somewhat...
singing songs of praise and poetry did not fit well with the Noldo...their first love is in the making of things with their hands and to toil and sweat rather than sit on their elvish a**es...
to explore what can...to gain knowledge in things unknown, hence the name; Noldo which btw Exa can explain it far more artfully and elegantly than I...
*points to Exa*...take it away o wise and learn'd one... 😄
lol
*quotes the comments on the Athrabeth*
"The name means lore-masters, or "those specially devoted to knowledge". (The most ancient form was ngolodô, Quenya Noldo, Sindarin Golodh: in the transcription n~=the Feanorian letter for the back nasal, the ng of king). The Quenya word n~óle meant "lore, knowledge", but its Sindarin equivalent gûl, owing to its frequent use in such combinations as morgul (cf Minas Morgul) was only used for evil or perverted knowledge, necromancy, sorcery. This word gûl was also used in the language of Mordor..."
-> Tolkien is still the best to explain such things 😄
(Noldor and Nazgûl same name source? heheee...)
