'''Lungorthin''' was a [[Balrogs|Balrog]] in early stages of ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. He is not mentioned in the later Silmarillion, or the published Simarillion. He was the one who tortured [[Húrin]] when he was brought before [[Morgoth]].<ref>{{LB|1e}}</ref>

==Life==
Lungorthin was encased in white flames, rather than red. Drawn to [[Morgoth|Melkor]]'s splendour before history he was entrusted with the infamous role of Master of the Guard beneath [[Thangorodrim]]. Rarely above ground, he spent almost all of his time in Melkor's hellish throne room at his master's side. His fate is unknown, though it is likely he perished during the destruction of [[Angband]].{{fact}}

In a storm within sight of the coast the ship was wrecked and all save him were drowned. By the grace of Ulmo, Voronwë was saved from the wreck and washed ashore in [[Nevrast]], where he encountered [[Tuor]] and led him back to Gondolin as the messenger of [[Ulmo]].

'''King Sheave''' is a mysterious character that is mentioned in a poem recited by a man named [[Tréowine]] in the halls of [[Odda]], King [[Éadweard]]'s thegn in the early [[wikipedia:10th century|10th century]].

== History ==
One day, a group of men found a boy shipwrecked on a shore - and he was blue eyed and golden haired - such as they have never seen before. They lay him down in a dark hall and let him rest. But the next morning, to the men's surprise, they find that the doors of the cottage are opened and that the boy had gone. However, the boy was standing on a top of a high cliff singing beautiful songs and playing such music that everyone hearing or seeing him was astonished.<ref name="Sheave">{{SD|2d}}, "Night 69", "King Sheave"</ref>

They treated him with great honour, and he brought them wealth and prosperity. After he had grown to his full manhood, he became a king among that people, renowned in song across the world, and the people that sheltered him from his youth had become great among [[Men]].<ref name="Sheave"/>

It is said that from him came the lines of kings of various Germanic tribes.<ref name="Sheave"/>

And when [[Tréowine]] had finished the poem, [[Ælfwine]] son of [[Éadwine]], his friend, added to it its last lines. And according to the legend recited in the poem, another Ælfwine son of Éadwine, King of Italy, was a descendant of Sheave. And men in the hall were astonished at that fact.<ref>{{SD|2d}}, "Night 69"</ref>

'''Saint Brendan of Clonfert''' or '''Bréanainn of Clonfert''' (c. [[wikipedia:484|484 AD]] – c. [[wikipedia:577|577 AD]]).
He is chiefly renowned for his legendary quest to the "Isle of the Blessed," also called [[wikipedia:Saint Brendan's Island|Saint Brendan's Island]]. The ''Voyage of Saint Brendan'' could be called an [[wikipedia:immram|immram]] (Irish navigational story). He was one of the [[wikipedia:Twelve Apostles of Ireland|Twelve Apostles of Ireland]].

==The Voyage of Saint Brendan==
St. Brendan is chiefly renowned for his legendary journey to the Isle of the Blessed as described in the ninth century ''Voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator''. Many versions exist that tell of how he set out onto the Atlantic Ocean with sixteen pilgrims (other versions have fourteen, plus three unbelievers who join at the last minute) searching for the [[wikipedia:Garden of Eden|Garden of Eden]]. One of these companions is said to have been [[wikipedia:Malo (saint)|Saint Malo]], the namesake of [[wikipedia:Saint-Malo|Saint-Malo]]. If it happened, this would have occurred sometime between AD [[wikipedia:512|512]] - [[wikipedia:530|530]], before his travel to the island of [[wikipedia:Great Britain|Great Britain]]. On his trip, Brendan is supposed to have seen Saint Brendan's Island, a blessed island covered with vegetation. He also encountered sea monsters, an adventure he shared with his contemporary [[wikipedia:Columba|Saint Columba]]. The most commonly illustrated adventure is his landing on an island which turns out to be a giant sea monster called [[wikipedia:Jasconius|Jasconius]] or Jascon.

==In-universe History==
During one of the meetings of the [[Notion Club]], one of the members, [[Philip Frankley]] recites to his fellows a poem that sprang from his dream four days before, more or less in a complete form. "The Death of Saint Brendan" the poem was called.

After a time, when Lowdham found himself in the Anglo-Saxon Portlock, he spoke to the other members in the present day of his "journey" into the past. There, he recounted, he heard of the legends of the voyages of [[Maelduin]] and of holy Brendan - which encouraged him to seek lands beyond in the West.<ref>{{SD|2d}}, "Night 69"</ref>
