It's funny 'cause as you were complaining about the heat, it was 32F/0C here.... *envies*
Vaire also wove the tapestries. I believe that Miriel was her helper in these matters. In my personal view, Miriel wove that which pertained to her kin while Vaire handled all other matters, but this isn't canon, so far as I know.
I've always found the possibility of historical bias in The Silmarillion far too interesting. And I've been involved in discussions between Telerin sympathizers and Noldorin sympathizers where both sides state their case about the kinslaying. It seems that we as fans of the book are equally good at distorting words to see what we want!
