Цитату вот вынес совершенно прекрасную, не могу не поделиться:
«Nor were the "loremasters" a separate guild of gentle scribes, soon burned by the Orks of Angband upon pyres of books. They were mostly even as Feanor, the greatest, kings, princes and warriors, such as the valiant captains of Gondolin, or Finrod of Nargothrond and Rodothir [>Arothir] his kinsman and steward.»
("Шибболет Феанора", примечание 28)
перевод как сумел
Нолдор и нолдорские мудрецы, ага. Такие.
