Hi, guys. :3

I'm just this 13-year-old Tolkien ultrafan... been lurking here long, just signed up so I could interact whenever I needed and so I can edit some minor stuff. :)

I draw and write fanart and fanfics about the Silmarillion (my chief Tolkien interest.) Yes, shameless self promotion, but I won't exactly provide a link to my stuff yet. They suck. XD

So yeah. I don't know if there's private messaging here; there are usually in sites like this; just in case there is, feel free to send me one. I love to talk ;)

I'm treating this article as a user profile page, not exactly an article on me... it ''is'' one, right? :)

Tenna hilyalalwa véla,

Arien ;)

Yes, I'm trying to learn some Quenya ;) it supposedly means "Until our next meeting"

'''Beleg Cúthalion''' was a [[Sindar]] who served in the army of King [[Thingol|Elu Thingol]] of [[Doriath]]. He followed no man and could not be restrained in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]], when he and [[Mablung]] joined the western army of [[Fingon]] and went forth to fight.
==History==
Together with Mablung, he was one of the great captains of the [[Sindar]], and took part in the [[Hunting of the Wolf]]. Beleg carried a black bow named [[Belthronding]], to which his surname referred, and an arrow called [[Dailir]].

Later he became a good friend and brother-in-arms of [[Túrin|Túrin Turambar]], and thus became ensnared in Túrin's accursed fate. When Túrin left [[Doriath]], Beleg received permission from Thingol to follow him into exile, wielding the black sword [[Anglachel]] that [[Eöl]] had forged and given to Thingol in tribute. Beleg found Túrin at [[Amon Rûdh]] and was tortured by the outlaws until Túrin found and released him. Together with Túrin, Beleg became for a while a captain against Morgoth, and the place where they dwelt became known as [[Dor-Cúarthol]], the "Land of Bow and Helm". When Túrin was captured by [[Morgoth]], Beleg was grievously wounded, yet with the knowledge and strength of an elite Elven warrior he recovered and followed the [[Orcs]]. He met the escaped thrall [[Gwindor]] in [[Taur-nu-Fuin (Dorthonion)|Taur-nu-Fuin]], and together they rescued Túrin, but Beleg accidentally cut Túrin with his sword. Túrin awoke and did not recognize Beleg in the darkness, and assumed the shape bent over him with a blade was an Orc who was about to torture him again. In a sudden rage of self defense, [[Túrin]] wrested Anglachel from Beleg and killed him.

== Etymology ==
''Beleg'' means "mighty" in [[Sindarin]]. His [[epessë]] ''Cúthalion'' means "Strongbow".
