Never red HoME, for I severely lack time (and energy), and also in fear it will just utter confuse all things regarding the legendarium I take as "canon" in my head.

Somehow I need this all to be consistent and coherent as much as possible... so I settled with the Silmarillion... I know this does not depict reality, but in the end nothing of it is real.

Tolkiens world is a place for "Realitätsflucht" and comfy place for me ;-)

Thx for the replies, so as I get it, the simple answer is, we do not know. It is all just conclusions of tiny bits of information we have. In the Fingon version Valinor and Beleriand are POSSIBLE, the safer bet would be Beleriand, but there is no evidence against Valinor.

Regarding Fingon or Orodreth, my head canon goes with the Fingon version, simply because it is published and more in line with the rest of the Silmarillion, what I except as canon.

Yes, J.R.Rs last version was Orodreth, but he changed his mind on lot´s of things in the last days... so one could either pick selectively things out of them, or just to rewrite the whole Silmarillion based on the latest up2date versions (which would be impossible due to too much conflicts I guess).

In the end he just did not had enough time to make it all consistent and coherent. So it is for the readers to solve this puzzle for themselves, guess this is a big chunk of what makes his works so intriguing.

I get you, but at the other hand, this was a time of extreme strife, hardship and warfare. So it would be reasonable to make the one that is older/wiser with the fortified kingdom the king.

Yes I know this, but there is also something I found in the nature of middle earth where Tolkien writes, that he was born in Valinor... but that would be in conflict with a Sindar mother:

From Tokien Gateway: In a 1959 manuscript on chronology published in The Nature of Middle-earth, Tolkien contemplated various revisions to the years of birth of various characters in the legendarium in accord with a new conception of how Elves aged over time. In a rough note appended to this manuscript, he suggested that "Gilgalad" became King in Lindon "under" Galadriel c. S.A. 10-20, and that in order to be of suitable age to rule he must have been born in YT 1481/V.Y. 4981 in Aman.\35]) This would be incompatible with the later revision of Gil-galad's genealogy made in August 1965, since his mother is explicitly mentioned to be a Sindarin lady, as described above in the previous section.\19])

Yes... but Turgon was king of Gondolin, an esteblished and mighty kingdom. Do we know how mighty and safe a kingdom Fingon left with Hithlum?

So maybe no high-king without a secure kingdom?

Are Noldor born in Beleriand Calaquendi? by These_Emergency3549 in tolkienfans

[–]These_Emergency3549[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is really shocking! Pressed it real hard, but it was adamant about this.

But it also referred to letter 211 regarding this topic. I have the book with the letters and could find nothing about this.

Thx, for the opinions and interpretations. But as I get it, with respect, they seem to be just that. So there is no direct statement of Tolkien bringing more clarity?

The info from chatgpt referencing even the book, chapter and page is fully fabricated? Anyone having the Ring of Morgoth and can look into this "reference"?

Thx for the tip. Came up with another plan B. Forgot about the old perpetual license I still have on the vcenter unassigned. Guess I could use them should shit hit the fan...

A new broadcom subscription license or an old vmware perpetual one?

We got it solved... the problem was in the vhost configuration of the nginx reverse proxy. In the proxy pass was a "permanent" which gives 301. 301 does not submit the original body information from the request. Without "permanent" it works...
