Inspired by the burning of ships in "The Silmarillion" and it's story variation from "The History of Middle-earth" vol. XII.
"The ships were anchored off the shore (...) In the night Fëanor, filled with malice, aroused Curufin, and with him and a few of those most close to Fëanor in obedience he went to the ships and set them all aflame; and the dark sky was red as with a terrible dawn."
- "The Shibboleth of Fëanor", The History of Middle Earth vol. XII
Story notes:
+ "Atar" means "father" in Quenya.
+ "Atarinkë" is Curufin's "mother-name" given in Quenya
