  Summary

  What happens if Finwë had chosen differently when the Valar exiled Fëanor?
  What if Finwë turned out to be wiser and craftier than what history writes?

  Or

  Finwë loves his eldest so much that he knows better on how to do it right, as a King and Father.

  The first chapter gives the context and sets the stage; it gets better from there.

  This is a political take on the Silmarillion on how could the Doom of Kinslaying could be avoided in the first place, but the Exile and the Ban remain. If the House of Fëanor could be saved, then would also be so many of Alqualondë, Doriath, and Sirion.

  All glory goes to Tolkein, the rest (and the ooc) are mine.
