# 13 Rebellion

Upon making their way to the shores of Alqualondë, a messenger from Manwë appeared attempting to sway the Noldor from leaving. "If you leave know now you go alone and the Valar will not aid you in this quest against Melkor, however, remember this: on your freewill, you came here to these Blessed Lands so of your freewill you will leave; we will not keep you here."

Then to Fëanor he turned and spoke. "You Fëanor, because of your oath are banished henceforth from these lands, and you will have to learn of Melkor's lies on your own."

Fëanor laughing turned to the rest of his kin and spoke again words of influence which swayed all his kin to keep going forth to the shores of Middle-earth. Once they reached Alqualondë, they approached Olwë the leader of the Teleri, demanding the white ships to use to leave Aman, but he refused. Fëanor then enraged took the ships by force.

The Teleri, nevertheless, would not stand for it and began to fight back until a massive bloodshed broke out. In the end, most of the Teleri had been slain, and all the Noldor save Finarfin, and most of his people left the shores of Aman. Thus, we now come to the end of the rebellion of the Noldor, and how it came to be, they ended up on the shores of Middle-earth.
