King Finarfin, Father of Galadriel - Epic Character History

Finarfin was the third son of Finwë, the father of Galadriel, Finrod and others, and the king of the Noldor who remained in Valinor! While he is a lesser known character indeed, his character history is interesting to discuss! Let me know your thoughts on Finarfin in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
