Finwëan Family Tree (based on the Silm rather than HoME):
Second generation: 3 people. Survivors of the First Age: 1 [Finarfin]
Third generation: 15 people (7 Fëanorean, 3 Fingolfinian, 5 Finarfinian). Survivors of the First Age: 2 [Maglor and Galadriel]
Fourth generation: 6 people (1 Fëanorean [Celebrimbor], 3 Fingolfinian [Gil-Galad, Idril, Maeglin], 2 Finarfinian [Finduilas, Celebrian]). Survivors of both the First and Second Ages: 1 [Celebrian]
Fifth generation: 4 people (0 Fëanorean, 1 Fingolfinian [Eärendil], 3 Finarfinian [Celebrian’s kids]). Survivors of the First, Second, and Third Ages: All 4!
Conclusions:
- This is a really weird-shaped tree
- Galadriel and her descendents have an amazing survival / avoidance-of-violent-death record relative to the rest of the family.
- By the 7th generation, the only descendents of Finwë are Men; no elves.
Huh.
This should be an infographic, I feel like this is Important Data
@tolkien-feels not quite an infographic, but I think this is the best I can make! It’s just… sad how many grandkids Finwë had but how few children they all had.
