GRR Martin vs Tolkien: Character Deaths in The Silmarillion [count]

Can Tolkien beat G.R.R. Martin in the number of character deaths?

Just to pass the time, I decided to mark every page where the death of a named character occurs in The Silmarillion (excluding Akallabêth and Of The Rings of Power). 

This was inspired by a hilarious image circulating the internet which compares J.K. Rowling’s and G.R.R. Martin’s own character deaths in their stories.

Well, it’s a very happy belated birthday to this blog!

8 July 2013 was as normal a day as any other, except I had this persistent thought.
