When the Noldor arrived in Middle Earth, Turgon settled with his people in Nevrast, an enclosed region already inhabited by Sindarin elves, and had his main dwelling in the halls of Vinyamar at the foot of Mount Taras on the shores of the Beleager, the Great Sea.
His coming was unlooked for and almost turned the tides of battle, but Morgoth's forces and the treachery on Men triumphed and Turgon was forced to retreat back to Gondolin with his forces and the remnants of his brother's people.
From that year Turgon was accounted High King of the Noldor, for his father Fingolfin was slain in the battle by Morgoth himself.

Feanor, too, had to persuade the Noldor to follow him into exile, but he was making an emotional appeal during a time of crisis while he was still under the ban of the Valar.
Feanor lost all rational perspective, and because he had been honing his powers of persuasion through the years, and because the Noldor were a nation grieving over the entirely unexpected death of their king and the loss of the Two Trees, Feanor had the perfect moment to infect his people with his madness.
When the Noldor attacked Alqualonde and the Valar condemned them to a terrible fate, Finarfin quietly withdrew from the rebellion and sought the pardon of the Valar (and, hopefully, the Teleri, his kinsfolk by marriage).

Many of the Noldor were slain in these wars, and Fëanor not the last, but some survived the wars to tarry in Middle-earth among the hosts of Moriquendi who abode there.
