It was with a lessened host that Fingolfin set foot at last upon the Outer Lands. Small love for Fëanor or his sons [one of whom is Maitimo] had those that marched at last behind him, and blew their trumpets in Meddle-earth at the first rising of the Moon. [After they were destroyed by Ungoliath, there was one last fruit left of both of the trees that had given light to Arda: Telperion's last fruit was named Isil the Sheen by the Vanyar and Rána, the Wayward, by the Noldor, and given to the Maia Tilion. The last fruit of Laurelin was named Anar the Fire-golden by the Vanyar and Vása, the Heart of Fire, by the Noldor, and given to the Maia Arien, who far surpassed Tilion in might.] Isil was first wrought and made ready, and first rose into the realm of the stars, and was the elder of the new lights, as was Telperion of the Trees. Then for a while the world had moonlight [...]; and even as the Moon rose above the darkness in the west, Fingolfin let blow his silver trumpets and began his march into Middle-earth, and the shadows of his host went long and black before them.
★ Memory: A direct continuation of memory #3. After crossing the Helcaraxë, cold and miserable and having lost many of their people, with basically everyone cursing Fëanor and his sons, the host that is led by Fingolfin and his heir (=Fingon) finally leaves the grinding ice and arrives on land again. It's still cold and everything, but at least the ground isn't treacherous anymore - and the dark night, that was only lit by stars, turns brighter as a light rises in the east. THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT IS aside from the colour reminding them of Telperion. But they take it as a good sign, blow their trumpets and and just march on for a while, going down the coast.
★ Learned: - So his world did have a moon, it just wasn't around before this memory. No word about the sun yet, though. - They lost a lot of people while crossing that ice. - He was seriously angry and bitter towards Maitimo by the end of it.
