waitwaitwait

I think from a technical level it doesn't have one, because silm really isn't meant to be a novel, it's a history. That said, if there is one I'd probably say Maedhros because he's 1-around the longest and 2-directly involved in the silmarills plot-line which is arguably the main 'focus' (or at least namesake) of the book.

that makes sense

well, I think Tolkien would've considered Beren and Luthien the protags, since the entire story hinges on them, and its almost a turning point in the story, launching the story from the second act into the third act

so true

They're only involved in one section of it though . . . I kind of disagree, I feel like their story was meant to be a tale of it's own merit and not the focus of the Silmarillion, even if it was really important to later events. Like, the War of Wrath is kind of the climax of the book and they're not there or involved at all because they're died at that point. One of the reasons I picked Mae was because he's a part of the story from near the beginning to near the end, instead of just being in his own section like so many others.

I really am a Bearer of Birdens. Birdens being dead birds. See The Last Post Wins. Sigh...

[Just-A-Stick she/her]

I should like to ask how birds feel about sticks.

Yay Stick is back!!!!

Sticks hold life because they are used to make nests, and eggs are in nests, and eggs have life in them, so the sticks ultimately hold them.

Welcome to the DFB! At the prompting/idea from @BlueWildRye, I have decided to make this group for all birds on the shard, I don't care if they're flightless, fast, predatory, or French, they are welcome here

I am the High Flightfull, the leader of the DFB, even though I cannot fly, I am still given the title. @BlueWildRye will be second in command with the title of his choosing. After that, the hierarchy will be marked by seniority, with each member choosing their own title (provided that it is not as grand as the member ahead).

Welcome to the DFB, we hope you enjoy your time here.
