Silmarillion: The Good Parts Version 16

Description

"All princes, no subjects".

I prefer one-off comics where you don't have to know the entire history (or at least have read the rest of the comic to know who those people are), but sometimes you can't avoid them. This chapter is so chock-full of names you really have to take notes to figure out who is who and why they don't like each other.

Original quote:
For Maedhros begged forgiveness for the desertion in Araman; and he waived his claim to kingship over all the Noldor, saying to Fingolfin: 'If there lay no grievance between us, lord, still the kingship would rightly come to you, the eldest here of the house of Finwë, and not the least wise.' But to this his brothers did not all in their hearts agree.
[...]
Now King Thingol welcomed not with a full heart the coming of so many princes in might out of the West, eager for new realms; and he would not open his kingdom, nor remove its girdle of enchantment, for wise with the wisdom of Melian he trusted not that the restraint of Morgoth would endure.

Monarchy: almost as complicated as democracy.
