There she gave birth to [[Elwing]], [[Eluréd]], and [[Elurín]]. In 504, after the murder of King Thingol, she returned to Doriath with her husband and became Queen of Doriath. Their reign was short-lived, however, as the [[Sons of Fëanor]] assaulted [[Menegroth]] and slew both her and Dior. This was the [[Sack of Doriath|Second Kinslaying]]. Her youngest children, Eluréd and Elurín, were left in the forest to die by the servants of [[Celegorm]]. Elwing, however, escaped to the [[Mouths of Sirion|Havens of Sirion]]. Years later she would wed [[Eärendil]] and together they would gain aid from [[Valinor]].<br /> <br /> == Genealogy ==<br /> {{familytree/start}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | | | |,|-|-|-|.| | | |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | MEL |y| ELU | | ELM | | |MEL=[[Melian]]|ELU=[[Thingol|Elu Thingol]]|ELM=[[Elmo]]}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | |!| | | |,|-|^|-|.| |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | | |!| | | GAL | | CEL |GAL=[[Galadhon]]|CEL=[[Celeborn]]&lt;ref&gt;This origin for Celeborn was never finalized by [[J.R.R.

She was definitely the daughter of [[Galathil]], but after that her parentage becomes uncertain. In ''[[Unfinished Tales]]'', Tolkien attempted to reconcile the ancestry of [[Celeborn]], Lord of [[Lothlórien|Lórien]], and the husband of [[Galadriel]]. One of his theories was that Celeborn was a descendant of [[Elmo]], younger brother of Thingol, and thus of the royal family of Doriath. This would also make him a kinsman of Nimloth. However, Tolkien never decided whether this ancestry would become definitive.&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | |!| | | | | |!| | | | | |}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | DIO |~|y|~| NIM | | | | |DIO=[[Dior]]|NIM='''NIMLOTH'''}}<br /> {{familytree | | | | | |,|-|^|-|v|-|-|-|.| | |}}<br /> {{familytree | EAR |y| ELW | | RED | | RIN | |EAR=[[Eärendil]]|ELW=[[Elwing]]|RED=[[Eluréd]]|RIN=[[Elurín]]}}<br /> {{familytree | |,|-|^|-|.| | | | | | | | | | |}}<br /> {{familytree | RON | | ROS | | | | | | | | | |RON=[[Elrond]]|ROS=[[Elros]]}}<br /> {{familytree/end}}<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> [[Category:Characters in The Silmarillion]]<br /> [[Category:Sindar]]<br /> [[Category:First Age characters]]<br /> [[de:Nimloth (Elbe)]]<br /> [[fr:/encyclo/personnages/elfes/teleri/sindar/nimloth]]<br /> [[fi:Nimloth (haltia)]]</div>
