Fëanor is the protagonist in J.R.R. Tolkein’s Silmarillion, and a high Elven prince of Eldamar. A fabled artisan, and son of King Finwë and Queen Miriel, his name means “spirit of fire”. He wrought the Silmarils, the most beautiful jewels in the world. In doing so, however, he brought a cataclysm upon himself and all his kin, as he went to war against Melkor, the evil Ainur spirit who had stolen them. It was his grandson Celebrimbor, ruler of Eregion, who created the rings of power, which culminated in the events of Lord of the Rings.
The following is his family line. Names given in bold signify a violent death. It is a testament to the violence of the war which followed that so many of his kin suffered such a fate.
