The death-fate of the line of miriel (burning herself out in creation, burning himself out in rage, just plain burning) vs the death-fate of the line of finwe ( smashed to pulp by morgoth, smashed to pulp by morgoth round ii, smashed to pulp by morgoth's minions, smashed to pulp by your own tower (knocked over by morgoth's minions))...
#Tolkien#San shoots the breeze#Miriel was the first and last to leave an intact corpse#Although that's arguably an artifact of dying in paradise + no death of old age#...aredhel also left an intact corpse to mourn. Maybe it's just one of tolkien's mom things.#Apologies for leaving out the arafinwians but they don't fit neatly. And I also left out 5/7 sons of feanor so it's fine.#I'm not establishing an unbiased sample to prove statistical significance
