Life in Valinor

Celegorm was born in between Y.T 1190 and Y.T 1497 in the city of Tirion in Valinor. He was the 3rd son of Feanor and Nerdanel. His younger brothers Caranthir and Curufin were born shortly after him. He became close friends with the Vala Orome and became a skilled hunter and learned the languages of birds and beasts. Because of this friendship he was given the great hound Huan by Orome.

 

First Kinslaying

When Melkor was released Celegorm, his brothers, and their father mistrusted him when Melkor came to them. After Melkor now named Morgoth slew Celegorms grandfather Finwe in Formenelos and stole the Silmarils he took the Oath of Feanor along with his brothers and father. Celegorm stood with his brothers alongside his father as Feanor made a speech to all the Noldor and Tirion. Celegorm took what he owned along with the hound Huan marched along with the host of Feanor forth from Tirion across Valinor until they arrived in Aqualonde where the Teleri lived. Celegorm watched as the Teleri refused Feanor the beautiful swan ships that they planned to use to sail to Middle Earth. Not taking no for an answer Feanor’s host started taking the ships themselves and began to sail away. The Teleri angered by this threatened the Noldor. When the Noldor refused to leave the ships one Teleri who was especially angered grabbed a distracted Celegorm and threw him overboard into the water. In response to this the Noldor drew their swords and the Teleri there bows. They battled long before the host of Fingolfin arrived and thinking the Teleri were trying to stop them on orders from the Valar joined the fight and helped the Noldor win. The host of Fingolfin immediately regretted the slaying of the Teleri but Celegorm along with some of his brothers regretted nothing. After the kinslaying the Noldor began marching northward along the coast while the ships followed in the sea. Soon Mandos appeared and pronounced a doom upon the Noldor that they shall be banned from Valinor. While the host of Finarfin turned back the hosts of Feanor and Fingolfin kept marching north. One night Celegorm along with the Host of Feanor boarded the ships and sailed eastward into Middle Earth. After safely departing from the ships in Losgar with his other brothers and father they set fire to the Telerian ships stranding the host of Fingolfin in Valinor.

 

Death of Feanor

Soon after arriving in Middle Earth the host of Feanor was attacked by the orcs of Angband under Morgoths orders. Celegorm and his brothers fought bravely alongside their father and defeated the orcs in Dagor-nuin-Giliath. But during the battle Feanor grew prideful and with his small force pushed forth all the way to Angband. But seeing they were pursued the orcs turned and fought against Feanor. Then the Balrogs came forth from the pits of Angband and soon Feanor stood alone. He was stricken down by Gothmog the Lord of the Balrogs. But then Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod, and Amras leading the rest of the host of Feanor arrived in relief and removed their father’s body from the battlefield. But Feanors wounds were mortal and he knew that Morgoth could not be defeated by the elves but nonetheless told his sons to stand by their oath and avenge him. When he died his body turned to ash.

 

Exile of the Noldor

Soon after Celegorm was one of those he heard that orcs were going down the sirion to assault Cirdan in the south. Celegorm lead part of the host of elves and attacked them near Eithel Sirion and drove them into the Fens of Sirion and obliterated them. Later he followed his older brother Maedhros to Himlad and lived with his younger brother Curufin and fortified the Pass of Aglon.

I will do my best to be loyal to my rp brothers and fortify the Pass of Aglon.

While some suggested Curufin I eventually decided to choose Celegorm as he is both my favorite son of Feanor and one of my favorite characters of the First Age.

I played on Second Age since its beginning. It sometimes is hard for me to find characters I will stick with and unfortunately I had trouble finding one on SA. But Celegorm I believe is a character I will stick with and really enjoy playing as.

I am really sorry for changing my role Again but I think that I will be happiest playing as Celegorm.
