Noldorin prince, third son of Finwë, his mother was Indis. Finarfin married Eärwen of
the Teleri; among their five children were Finrod and Galadriel. Finarfin tried to
remain apart from the disputes of the Noldor in Eldamar, but he reluctantly joined in
the pursuit of Melkor. Deterred by Fëanor's conduct in the Kinslaying and by the
Doom of Mandos, Finarfin returned to Tirion, where he was forgiven and given the rule
of the Noldor remaining in the West. He led his people to Middle-earth in the Great
Battle. |
