The Heroes of the First Age series continues with a look at Finrod the Faithful. I discuss his origins, his history in the first age, and focus on all he did to fulfil an oath of everlasting friendship. What made this figure so special? Finrod the teacher, scholar, builder, explorer, and keeper of oaths.
