Borlach was one of the sons of Bór.

[edit] History

Borlach and his kin entered the service of Maedhros and Maglor, the eldest Sons of Fëanor.[1] He fought in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and was faithful to the Noldor, taking part in the slaying of Ulfang's sons before he was himself slain.[2]

[edit] Other versions of the Legendarium

In the Later Annals of Beleriand and the Grey Annals, the name of the character was Boromir,[3][4] a name later used for Boromir of Ladros.[5][6] The Boromir referred to in the Etymologies (cf. Boromir of Ladros: Etymology) is thus Borlach.[7][8]

[edit] Etymology

Early versions of the name were directly tied to the root BOR-, signifying loyalty.[9]
