Um, "The events immediately following the Council of the Gods in which Morgoth's lies were disclosed and Fëanor banished from Túon, the e- the Silmarillion banishment is not said to be limited to a number of years, are not given to the form they have in The Silmarillion.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
The entire story of Morgoth's going to Formenos, not so yet named, and his speech with Fëanor before the doors has yet to appear.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Morgoth's north- northward movement up the coast in faint is also absent.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Rather, he comes at once to Arvernien, where the shadow is thickest in the world, and is said in The Silma- uh, uh, and is said in The Silmarillion of Avathar.
55 MINS LATER
Austin WalkerHOST
Yeah.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
You know? 'Cause that's the story she then has with someone else.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
I, yeah, "The, then Galadriel spoke to Melian of the Silmarils and of the slaying of King Finwe at Formenos-
Austin WalkerHOST
Mm-hmm
ChrisHOST
So now we've got the enemy coming over, back over to Middle-earth.
ChrisHOST
So Morgoth and Ungoliant cross the Grinding Ice of the far north and come down into Lammoth, the coastal waste northwest of Beleriand, and there their, uh, their alliance falls apart because Ungoliant demands the treasures of Formenos, which is, uh, where Fëanor had been exiled to with his dad, and Finwë had been killed during this, uh, during the stealing of the Silmarils.
ChrisHOST
But again, I've covered these in detail.
ChrisHOST
I wanna get to the war.
Steph MidlockHOST
'Dost thou desire all the world for thy belly? I did not vow to give thee that.
Steph MidlockHOST
I am its lord.'" And she responds, "'Not so much,' said Ungoliant, 'but thou has a great treasure from Formenos, and I will have all that.
Steph MidlockHOST
Yea, with both hands thou shall give it.'" So she's reminding him of that vow, with both hands.
Steph MidlockHOST
Uh, maybe he shouldn't have been so specific.

As Morgoth shrank from a force of cosmic nature into a singular incarnate tyrant, his cosmic envy aimed at all of creation also shrank to these three gems.

Following Morgoth’s murder of the High King Finwë at Formenos, he broke into its vaults and stole its treasures, including the Silmarils.
speaker_0HOST
Driven by his swollen pride and lack of need to wear a mask to the world any longer, he declared that the jewels were his by supreme right.
speaker_0HOST
In his delusion as the self-proclaimed King of the World and the mightiest of all in Arda, Morgoth believed that no lesser being, that’s everyone, Elven craftsmen and Vala alike, had the right to hold the greatest treasure in existence.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
Right.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
And there at Formenos a multitude of gems were laid in a hoard.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
People are putting gems in a hoard in every chapter of this book, by the way.
Cameron KunzelmanHOST
And weapons also in the Sumerils were shut in a chamber of iron.
