After the War of Wrath, the Silmarils burned the two remaining SOF, and Eonwe told them they no longer had a claim to them because of their actions. I don't think that nullification only happened because of two extra Kinslayings. I think they're chance for healing was to follow Maglor's thinking and give them up and seek forgiveness for their actions. Very true CG! I agree, I wish particularly that Maehdros, could have gotten past it all.
Manwe, when asked a simple "Yes" or "No" question, contemplated, and responded "the middle one."
