adepslanaeBack when I was trying to write more in the Heirs of Fire verse, I ended up doing some timeline-related headcanoning.
EDIT 16/08/2018: Aaand my headcanons mostly changed, aside from the one about Caranthir's daughter.
Mainly wrt when Fëanor's daughters were born and when Caranthir's daughter was born and tangentially when And all the birds went underground takes place.
Fëanor's first daughter is born before Maedhros - only a couple of years at most, though I headcanon it was less than that. She's actually sort of semi-canonical to me, in that her existence isn't restricted to this particular verse. Her name is Lirit, short for Liritien (which is an homage to a female pyromancer NPC in Dark Souls, i.e. Carmina).
(My reasoning behind her existence is that Fëanor did a good deal of experimenting when it came to sex, too, and when he was still technically too young for it. This also ties in to my headcanon that his marriage to Nerdanel was in a way 'accidental', i.e. Nerdanel became pregnant and her family was too highly placed to let the thing slip as a youthful tryst. Not that Fëanor and Nerdanel didn't like each other, but I keep thinking they would have worked better as best friends than as a married couple, and I also firmly believe that Fëanor didn't like the idea of marriage all that much.)
After some deliberation I decided that And all the birds went underground takes place around 1383 - I don't want it to happen too close to when Morgoth is released and 1383 leaves roughly thirty years of pure pre-Morgoth bliss (since Morgoth isn't let loose among the Noldor until after 1410).
Based on that Caranthir's daughter has to be born around 1350. For the time being I'm going with 1353, which leaves a few years between when Fëanor learns of her existence and when she moves in with her aunts for her pyro training.
Fëanor's second daughter, Cirincë (the name being an homage to a DS III pyromancer lady - Cuculus) I'm placing around 1310 (maybe).
Finally, Ervanië - who is to be Curufin's wife in this verse - is born around 1337. She was set to marry Curufin soon after she came of age but after Curufin and his brothers confessed their love to their father the marriage was pushed back a few years. :)
