| | Apart from the Kinslayings at the hands of the Sons of Feanor, the worst of evil deeds that weren’t of Melkor’s doing was The Ruin of Doriath. | | | So, returning to Nogrod, the dwarves lied to their kin about what happened in Doriath (though lust for the Silmaril certainly clouded their reasoning) and a great force of Dwarves came from Nogrod and sacked Menegroth, and the rest of Doriath. | | | The Jewels of Feanor were truly not meant for Elves or Men, but for the whole of Arda to preserve the lost Bliss of Valinor. |

| | So the Noldorin forms, brought to Middle-earth at the beginning of the First Age of the Sun and Moon, and spoken so predominantly in Beleriand, naturally carried over to the later 'common Elven' - Sindarin - spoken throughout Middle-earth by the Third Age. | | | The 'Sindar' of the First Age lived mostly in Doriath, and one would expect 'Doriathrin' to be the precursor of Sindarin, but it simply did not work out that way. | | | In a sense, the term 'Ilkorin' serves the same destiny as 'Doriathrin'; it became an obsolete term, representing somewhat the same group as the Sindar, and its terms were absorbed into the later 'Sindarin'. |
