Very interesting view on the Oath. So the Valar were meddling in this matter as well... *stops herself before beginning another anti-Valar rant* Uhm... sorry about that.

I have to wonder if Maedhros would even have the opportunity to claim his own land and form his own court, if Fëanor would survive that first battle. Caranthir could probaly have his mind, but I'm not sure what would happen with Maedhros' dreams. Good story. I enjoyed reading it.
