 | | Mandos rightly foretold that the fates of Arda, earth, sea, and air lay locked in the Silmarils. | | | This oath caused them and many of their kin to leave Aman and return to Middle-earth to regain the Silmarils, beginning the kin-strife and the Doom of Mandos that lay on the kin of Fëanor for ever after. | | | "Then he began a long and secret labour, and he summoned all his lore, and his power, and his subtle skill; and at the end of all he made the Silmarils." 3 The Silmarils were as great jewels in form, but no one will ever know of what substance they were made. |

| | The Silmarils respond in kind to those who bear them; they "suffer" the hands of Beren and Eärendil to carry them because their hearts are good, whereas Morgoth, Carcharoth, and Maedhros are burned by the jewels' touch because their intentions are evil. | | | The diversity of attempted thefts of the Silmarils has much to do with the initial purpose for which they were wrought: Fëanor had a presentiment of doom, and so he sought with his whole heart to put his gemcraft to full use. | | | The Silmarils are likewise irreplaceable, but their role is more weighty than the gift of a marriage suitor. |

| | It was only afterwards when he had made the silmarils, that their flawlessness and beauty took over him and he became a bit too fond of them and thus grasping. | | | When Fëanor made the Silmarils he was living in Aman, were everything lasts for ever [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And he also was born in Aman, and therefore he had never seen the death of anything in Middle Earth. | | | He was probably grinning from ear to ear when his Silmarils were complete - he had made the most beautiful jewels ever seen, and, as you say, jewels that had the potential to last forever with him. |

| | So he, along with his ship and the Nauglamir, and with the Silmaril on his brow, was made into a star for a sign of hope. | | | It was, instead, Beren son Barahir, a man. He fell in love with Lúthien Tinúviel, but they were betrayed to Thingol, her father and King of Doriath. | | | Maedhros and Maglor were stubborn though, and although Maglor thought the Oath of their father void, Maedhros convinced him otherwise, and they stole the last two Great Jewels. |

| | The gods who created middle earth were in dispute with each other because the seductive powers of the silmarils were corrupting them. | | | The name The Silmarillion is derived from three powerful jewels in the story called the silmarils. | | | In the story of The Silmarillion, the silmarils have powerful seductive powers like the one ring to rule them all. |

| | The Silmarils were the Jewels of Arda, and their being was as separate from Feanor as a father was from his son. | | | Feanor was said to love the Silmarils with a greedy love and grudged the sight of them to all save to his father and his seven sons. | | | They are as hard as the Silmarils, and nothing in Arda can break them." Feanor revealed the twin swords and laid them on the table for his sons to admire. |

| | Therefore even in the darkness of the deepest treasury the Silmarils of their own radiance shone like the stars of Varda; and yet, as were they indeed living things, they rejoiced in light and received it and gave it back in hues more marvellous than before. | | | And Varda hallowed the Silmarils, so that thereafter no mortal flesh, nor hands unclean, nor anything of evil will might touch them, but it was scorched and withered; and Mandos foretold that the fates of Arda, earth, sea, and air, lay locked within them. | | | Then he began a long and secret labour, and he summoned all his lore, and his power, and his subtle skill; and at the end of all he made the Silmarils. |

| | But even the jewels were second to the love that shone in Feanor's eyes for his wife and his eldest and youngest sons. | | | Then they picked up the blue-gray light of Finwe's eyes, and the light scheme of the Silmarils was again changed so that it included the wonder of a father for his gifted son. | | | He stared at it with much wonder, and though he was lost in the Light, he was acutely aware of his six brothers' admiration of the jewels. |

| | Returning to the Silmarils themselves: quite aside from the lust of Fëanor and (certain of) the Noldor for them, the Jewels were from the first artefacts of great doom and power. | | | The tale of the remaining two Silmarils is no less tragic, though briefly told in the Histories that have come down to the present day. | | | Within the three Silmarils Fëanor contained the mingled light of the Two Trees of Valinor: Telperion and Laurelin. |

| | Since one of the Silmarils became the Planet Venus, it is reasonable to assume they are perfectly round when seen from the front. | | | Further there is a device for the Silmarils themselves, showing three faceted white spheroids against the backdrop of a tree. | | | Personally, I've always imagined the Silmarils to be smooth, oblate spheroids. |

| | Perhaps true to the famed French heritage of unbridled creativity, Silmarils is particularly good at evoking the intriguing alternate history of 19th-century science as created by Jules Verne (who was, incidentally, French) and immortalized in his novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. | | | Silmarils produced a good many games for ReadySoft, its licensee. | | | This means that recent Silmarils games were available in Europe only, as Silmarils lacked the marketing capabilities to distribute their games overseas. |

| | Silmarils, one of the most popular rock bands on the current French music scene, have experimented with a broad range of styles in the course of their career, experimenting with everything from heavy metal to groove, techno and pop influences. | | | Silmarils flew out to the States to supervise the final mix of the album and met a number of leading American musicians, such as Alfredo Ortig from the Beastie Boys, who brought his percussion skills to the final mix of "Vegas 76". | | | Despite their interest in musical fusion, Silmarils were pigeonholed in the early days of their career, critics cataloguing them as ersatz Rage Against the Machine or Red Hot Chili Peppers wannabes. |

| | Silmarils inexplicably abandoned their strength in action/adventure and RPG genres to perhaps cash in on the 3D fighting games craze popularized by the arcade smash hit Virtua Fighter. | | | Unfortunately, Time Warriors is a disappointing game-- poor controls, sluggish movements, and uninteresting enemies and moves sink this game faster than you can say "Help!" An underdog that's WAY at the end of the underdog hierachy, and in many ways deserve to remain unknown . |
