The Grieving Sons

The Grieving Sons
Alqualondë, the Swanhaven, was the chief city of the Falmari on the shores of Valinor. The city is said to be north and east of Tirion between the Calacirya and Araman in northern Eldamar. In the Year of the Trees 1162, the Falmari who abandoned Tol Eressëa began to build Alqualondë with the help of the Noldor. Its lord was Olwë.

When Fëanor rebelled against the will of the Valar, he went to the shores of Aman, seeking for a way to reach Middle-earth. He demanded the use of the Telerin ships, however, the Teleri refused and resisted when Fëanor ordered the Noldor to take them by force. A battle broke out, the First Kinslaying, in which many Teleri were slain, for they were armed with mere hunting bows against the fully armed Noldor. They also attempted to block the harbor. The battle was joined by the hosts of Fingon and Fingolfin, many of whom thought that the Teleri had attacked the Noldor.

In the later years of the First Age, Alqualondë was visited by Eärendil and Elwing who had reached Valinor. Elwing stayed a little there and told stories to the Teleri about the griefs of Beleriand.
