Finarfin[edit]

Moved from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Middle-earth

In History of Arda Why are Finarfin and his children (esp. Finrod) not mentioned in the Years of the Trees, or the First Age? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.155.3.135 (talk) 18:10, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I've now added Finarfin but imo including Finrod would make the article overly detailed. He had an important role in Beren's quest to recover the Silmaril but there's no mentioning of Beren and Lúthien in this article either. De728631 (talk) 19:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Recommendation to split the article into 2nd and 3rd ages[edit]

Considering the sheer amount of historical content that occurs in the history of Arda, wouldn't it be better to quantify the amount of available space therein by simply separating this article in half based on its dual time periods? I think it would make much more sense and definitely keep the narrative in step with the chronology of the First Age as well as the Fourth Age. Zach (talk) 07:34, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
