HISTORY Maglor was the second of the Sons of Fëanor. He had more of his mother Nerdanel's gentle spirit than any of his brothers. Maglor was known for his poetry and singing, but in Tirion he swore the Oath of Fëanor and shared in the woes it bred.
Maglor was present at the Kinslaying at Alqualondë. To what degree he participated in the slaughter is unknown but later he composed the lament Noldolantë, the Fall of the Noldor, in memory of the terrible event. Following Fëanor into exile, Maglor witnessed his father die after he had fought Gothmog.
Prior to the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, one of the three Silmarils had been recovered from Morgoth's Crown. From his parents Dior Eluchíl received the jewel and brought it to Doriath. True to their oath, the sons of Fëanor (led by Celegorm) demanded the Silmaril. When Dior refused to surrender it the brothers assaulted Thingol's ancient kingdom. Celegorm, Caranthir and Curufin all fell, as did Dior and his wife, Nimloth of Doriath. But the four remaining brothers - Maglor, Maedhros, Amras and Amrod - did not recover the Silmaril for Elwing, the daughter of Dior and Nimloth, escaped.
Eventually the three brothers heard tiding that Elwing possessed a Silmaril and dwelt at the Mouths of Sirion. Driven by their Oath, the remaining sons of Fëanor made a sudden attack upon the refugees of Gondolin and Doriath. However they were again thwarted for Elwing escaped with the Silmaril across the Sea to her husband Eärendil. Together they sailed into the West and their voyage would eventually cause the downfall of Morgoth. Meanwhile, Elrond and Elros, Eärendil and Elwing's sons, captured in the battle, were adopted by Maglor, and it is said that love grew between them.
After Morgoth's fall the last two Silmarils were recovered from his Crown. By this time, only Maedhros and Maglor remained of Fëanor's sons. In weariness and loathing they demanded the jewels from Eönwë, the herald of Manwë. Eönwë refused them the Silmarils due to their many evil deeds. Still driven, the two brothers crept into the camp of Eönwë and stole the jewels. Though they were caught Eönwë let them depart. Maedhros and Maglor each took one jewel but their evil deeds caused the holy Jewels to burn their skin. Maedhros in despair cast himself into a fiery fissure. Maglor, the last surviving son of Fëanor, threw his Silmaril into the Sea. Legend says that he still wanders the shores of the World, singing laments for his despair and regret.
PERSONALITY
Maglor has travelled to all ends of Arda. Visiting many along the way. He's suffered with his guilt for his part of oath that him and his siblings made to their father.
While his past haunts him, Maglor does what he can to help others. It's his way of trying to make up for his mistakes. He's travelled alone for the most but he misses his brothers.
