History
Little is known about her, except that during the Exile of the Noldor Írimë went to Middle-earth across the Helcaraxë with Fingolfin, while the rest of her siblings remained in Valinor. Írimë's fate is unknown; she may have been slain or returned to Aman after the War of Wrath.[1]
Etymology
Írimë's mother-name was Lalwendë or in shortened form Lalwen, and by this name she was generally known.[1] In some versions Írimë is called Írien which may have been her father-name.[2]
