The War of Wrath

[bunn]

Do any Tolkien fans have stern views about Dwarves and the War of Wrath?   Involved?  Not involved?  Innocent victims in the tragic ruins of Nogrod and Belegost?

(My Feanor story has got to the War of Wrath!  And somehow it is 27700 words and growing.   I am oscillating between 'this is so much fun!!!  Filling in all the details!!!'  (there appear to be almost zero canon details about the War of Wrath, and particularly about the Feanorians in it)  and 'what on earth am I doing???'  I am fairly sure there must be lots of other fanfic on this but I daren't read it yet or else I will become discouraged and never finish mine.    My roleplaying character Angruin is not in it, (except, possibly as a vague background figure). For some reason I feel vaguely embarrassed about including him as a named character.

Can I take a rain-check on that? I really would like to think about it for a moment. It's a great question.

Oh well, no rush. I think I've *probably* decided to add Dwarves to the War of Wrath, simply on the grounds that they will add to the general epicness, but if you do come up with some convincing reasoning against it, it will be interesting to work around.

My tendency would go in the direction of participation also, unless I find an actual reference to the contrary and none leaps to mind.
