[Not that he would know of. Maitimo... maybe, and he still does not understand, has had no chance to get more information on the handing over of the crown to Aracáno than that it happened. The tapestries never tell of the why. The same is why he can say little about his eldest son's capture by Morgoth, and how Makalaurë reacted to it. But one thing he can directly address.
And there is a pause before he speaks again, his voice carefully devoid of emotion as he for the first time (and most likely last time in long) voices regret; admits a guilt that he cannot take off his heart, and that he does not wish his son to bear in his stead, should it be one of the things weighing him down (he does not know if it is. But Makalaurë, for all that Fëanáro thinks him capable and reliable, had always been the sweetest towards the twins, and one of those closest to them). A regret that has steadily grown and solidified since that day at the shores of Middle Earth, and especially since he came to the halls, for nothing else was there to capture his mind.]
