This was actually the question/note number 10 on the list that I made while reading Silm for the second time ages ago. ("Who the hell carries a harp to Angband?!! What did Fingon think; that he would bore Morgoth to death with his singing and playing on harp and then go and save Maedhros?!") I mean, huh???
But seriously, why would anyone in the right mind carry a harp to the most dangerous place in Middle-earth? It would make perfect sense, if Fingon would know he'd need it to find Maedhros, but he didn't. I want an explanation!
I came up with a theory, but... well, we'll just have to see how that's going to work out. :/
