'''Idril Celebrindal''' ([[Years of the Trees]] 1469 – [[First Age]] 524, aged approx. 820 years when she sailed towards [[Valinor]]) was the daughter of King [[Turgon of Gondolin]] and [[Elenwë]], wife of [[Tuor]], and the mother of [[Eärendil|Eärendil the Mariner]].

== History ==
Idril Celebrindal was the only child of Turgon. She participated in the [[Flight of the Noldor]], and in the [[Helcaraxë]] almost lost her life falling through the ice with several others, but Turgon saved her, though he lost his wife Elenwë. Together with [[Angrod]]'s son [[Orodreth of Nargothrond|Orodreth]] she was one of the two Noldor in the third generation to come into exile. Idril was loved in secret by her cousin [[Maeglin]], the son of [[Eöl]] the Dark Elf and [[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel|Aredhel]], Turgon's sister, but she scorned his advances because of his dark character, and the fact they were too closely related.

When Tuor, son of [[Huor]] arrived in [[Gondolin]], Idril fell in love with him. Because Turgon had grown to love Tuor as a son (as he had his father before), and remembering the last words of Huor, he allowed Idril and Tuor to wed, thus bringing about the second union of the [[Eldar]] and [[Edain]], after [[Beren Erchamion|Beren]] and [[Lúthien Tinúviel|Lúthien]]. Idril encouraged Tuor to build the secret passage known as [[Idril's Secret Way]], and thus enabled many to escape the [[Fall of Gondolin]]. In Gondolin she had a son, [[Eärendil the Mariner|Eärendil]].

After the fall of Gondolin, Idril and Tuor became leaders of the exiles at the [[Havens of Sirion]], where they also received [[Elwing]] daughter of [[Dior Eluchíl|Dior]] son of Beren and Lúthien.

When Tuor grew old he departed in his ship for the [[Aman|West]], and Idril went with him. It is believed by the Elves and [[Dúnedain]] that Idril and Tuor arrived in Valinor, bypassing the [[Ban of the Valar]], and that Tuor was reckoned in the kindred of the Elves, so that Tuor and Idril now live in [[Valinor]].

== Etymology ==
The name Idril is the [[Sindarin]] form of her [[Quenya]] name '''''Itarildë''''' (or '''''Itarillë'''''), which means "Sparkling Brilliance". She was called [[Celebrindal]], "Silver-foot", because she always went barefoot.
