Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A simple one to start off. Who was the eldest son of Feanor?

Answer: Maedhros

Maedhros, who lost a hand while being rescued from imprisonment on the Thangorodrim, was the eldest of the Sons of Feanor. Maglor and Caranthir were his younger brothers, while Fingon was the son of Fingolfin.
2. Who, among the sons of Feanor, was considered the greatest singer after Daeron, the minstrel of Thingol?

Answer: Maglor

Maglor's voice was rich and deep and his songs some of the best Arda had ever heard. Maedhros and Curufin were his brothers, Fingolfin, their uncle.
3. Aredhel was the daughter of Feanor and a sister of the sons of Feanor.

Answer: False

Although she is a great friend of Caranthir's and Curufin's, she is the daughter of Fingolfin, and the sister of Turgon. She marries Eol the Dark Elf. She meets Eol when she gets lost along the way and meets Eol who falls in love with her and marries her.
4. Huan the Hound of the Valar was a faithful companion of which son of Feanor? (Until his master's cowardly actions against Beren and Luthien led him to disobey him and turn on him).

Answer: Celegorm

"Huan the Hound of Valinor" was a gift from Orome to Celegorm who was also a great hunter like the Vala. He greatly assisted Beren and Luthien in their quest for the Silmaril and ultimately died in his fight against Carcharoth, but not before slaying the great wolf and humiliating Sauron in combat.
5. Who was the father of Celebrimbor, the only descendant of Feanor to live into the Second Age?

Answer: Curufin

Celebrimbor disowned his father for the latter's disgraceful behaviour at Nargothrond and against Beren. We know of no other "grandsons of Feanor".
6. Who took Angrist from Curufin, when he tried unsuccessfully to prevent the former from fulfilling his quest?

Answer: Beren

Angrist was a knife made of meteoric iron by the smith Telchar. It is said to have been able to "cleave iron as if it was wood", and hence hung unsheathed by a belt. Beren would ultimately use it to prise a Silmaril out of Morgoth's crown, though when he tried to prise another one out, the knife shattered and a shard hit Morgoth triggering a hasty retreat by Beren and Luthien.
7. Whom did Maglor take under his care after he believed their parents to be dead?

Answer: Elrond and Elros

He was perhaps disgusted at the Kinslaying which had just taken place, which saw Elwing (Elrond and Elros' mother) jump into the sea with a Silmaril on her breast. He also may have acted in repentance for his other sins. Elured and Elurin were the sons of Dior, Amrod and Amras the twin sons of Feanor and the brothers of Maedhros, whereas Angrod and Aegnor were the sons of Finarfin.
8. Who managed to kill three of the Sons of Feanor in Doriath?

Answer: Dior

The Sons of Feanor attacked Doriath when they found out that Dior dared to sit on the throne of Thingol and refused to hand over the Silmaril which they claimed. Doriath was defenceless since the Girdle of Melian had disappeared with Melian's passing into Valinor. Dior died in combat, taking Celegorm, Curufin and Caranthir with him to the halls of Mandos.

In retaliation, Caranthir's servants left Dior's young sons, Elured and Elurin to die in the wilderness, though his daughter Elwing, escaped with the Silmaril.
9. Who was the mother of the Sons of Feanor?

Answer: Nerdanel

"She was of gentler mood than her fiery spouse, and sought always to temper his deeds with wisdom", according to the Silmarillion. It doesn't seem she followed him to the East though. Miriel was their grandmother, wife of Finwe and Indis, Finwe's second wife
10. The Sons of Feanor managed to get their hands on some of the Silmarils.

Answer: True

But only for a while. The Holy Jewels burned their hands for the sins they had committed in obtaining them that Maedhros jumped into a fiery chasm and Maglor threw his into the sea.
