House of Finwë, Finwë was High King of Noldor in Aman, He married twice, His First wife Miriel died after giving birth to Fëanor (not at all surprised) 🤭
His second marriage was with Indis, niece of Ingwë, High King of All Elves and with her he was blessed with 5 kids

(5)
Fëanor crafted 3 Silmarils, which Morgoth stole and Fled to Middle Earth.
He and his 7 sons swore an oath that only Fëanor and his kin would hold Silmarils.
And began their Journey to Middle-earth, starting with some Kin Slaying in Alqualondë for the ships of Falmari.

(6) Except Maglor, all sons of Fëanor died trying to fulfil the Oath of Fëanor. After the death of Fëanor, Maedhros abdicated High Kingship in favour of his uncle to keep his Kin united - At least for a time.
Thus Fingolfin was the 1st High king of Noldor in Middle-earth

(7) Fingolfin ruled for over 4 centuries as High King, while his son Turgon established Gondolin & Finrod son of Finarfin established Nargothrond. Fingolfin would die battling Morgoth and Fingon succeeded his father as 2nd High King (in mid-earth).

(8) After Fingon died in FA 472, he was succeeded by Turgon who was already ruling Gondolin. But thanks to Maeglin, Gondolin gets sacked and Turgon is Killed. His daughter Idril & Son in law Tuor (Edain) survived the sack and they were parents of Eärendil The Mariner.

(9) Finarfin did not come to middle earth but his kids followed Fëanor. (Nice)
Finrod established Nargothrond and died in FA 465 during Beren's quest for Silmaril.
He was succeeded by Orodreth as 2nd king of Nargothrond, but that was short lived since it was sacked in FA 495

(10)Angrod & Aegnor were already dead by the time of Sack of Nargothrond, hence Gil-Galad became High King of Noldor (No Male survivors of Finwë & Indis except Gil-Galad) (& Fëanor's boys abdicated and are busy kin slaying)
Gondolin also fell a few years after Nargothrond-FA510

(11) Thingol Married Melian the Maia and had a daughter named Lúthien who would marry Beren an edain and they would give birth to Dior. (Elf, Maia, half-elf-half-maia, edain & a half-elf in 3 generations from a single house) (nice)

(12) Now if that amazed you, look at this,Elwing daughter of Dior married Eärendil. Both are half-elves, Both are born in FA 503, both suffered Kin-slaying by our Fëanorian boys
Elros-Númenor-Lords of Andúnië-Elendil-Arnor/Gondor-Chieftains-AragornII-Elarion
Elrond-Arwen-Eldarion

(13) A brief overview of Elven Timeline, I am sure I missed a ton of Important events. I will keep adding and updating the poster as and when necessary.

(14) A bit of Footnotes for the nerds, I followed genealogies as per ease of editing, not as per a particular book.
A very special thanks to the Artists whose Art I have used in the poster.

(15) A very thanks to @europeroyalsfan, who has reviewed and corrected many errors that crept into the poster since last week, reminded me of characters that i missed & much more! Just for reference my friend has even highlighted incorrectly sized hyphen. Attention to detail!

(17) Editing posters takes time, this poster has at least 50 hours of editing behind it, if not more.
I am not even accounting time that takes to read and make notes from books.
Please consider sharing this on your timeline.
Thank you to everyone for everything. 🙂
