'''Carc''' was one of the [[Ravens|ravens]] who lived on [[Ravenhill]], one of the foothills of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], the Lonely Mountain. Carc seems to have been the chief of those birds, and dwelt with his wife above the [[Dwarves]]' guard-chamber on the hill. [[Thorin|Thorin]] recalled him as being wise and famous at the time the Dwarves were driven out of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] by [[Smaug]]. When Thorin returned to the Lonely Mountain 171 years later, Carc was dead, but the ravens remained, led by his son [[Roäc]].<ref>{{H|Gathering}}</ref>

'''Roäc''' (b. {{TA|2788}}<ref name=H15/><ref group=note>When [[Thorin and Company]] met Roäc he told them that it was "a hundred years and three and fifty since I came out of the egg". Subtracting 153 from {{TA|2941|n}} yields 2788</ref>) was the chief of the [[ravens]] of [[Ravenhill]] near [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]].<ref name=H15>{{H|15}}</ref>

==History==
Roäc was the son of [[Carc]], and as such "''a descendant of those'' [ravens] ''that had remained on the hill even after Smaug had driven out their old allies, the [[Dwarves]]"''.<ref>{{webcite|author=Mark Fisher|articleurl=http://www.glyphweb.com/ARDA/r/roac.html|articlename=Roäc: The old raven of Ravenhill|dated=|website=EoA}}</ref>

While [[Thorin and Company]] and [[Bilbo Baggins]] were keeping watch on Erebor, an old [[thrushes|thrush]] summoned Roäc. When he met Thorin and Company in [[Third Age]] {{TA|2941|n}}, Roäc was marked by age, being 153 years old.<ref name=H15/>

Being able to speak [[Westron]], the raven delivered the news that [[Smaug]] had been killed. Roäc agreed to bring a message to [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin II Ironfoot]] from Thorin, a call for help in guarding the treasures of Erebor in the wake of war.<ref name=H15/> However, Roäc also gave a piece of advice to Thorin, warning him that "''the treasure is likely to be your death''".<ref name=H16>{{H|16}}</ref>

==Etymology==

''Roäc'' is likely an [[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeic]] name.<ref>{{HM|AH}}, p. 316</ref>

==Inspiration==

In Celtic mythology, ravens are often associated with warfare and the battleground (especially in Irish mythology). In Welsh mythology, ravens figure as the army of King Arthur's knight Owain.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_in_mythology#Celtic_mythology Raven in mythology: Celtic mythology] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] (accessed 4 December 2010)</ref> ''See also: [[Ravens#Inspiration|Ravens: Inspiration]]''

In ''[[The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún]]'', a raven and a finch speak five of the verses,<ref>{{HM|SG}}, pp. 116-117, 214-215</ref> reminiscent of Roäc and the old thrush.

: "Roäc the Raven" is a Diplomat Ally, playable at any site in Northern Rhovanion.

'''2014: ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]'':'''
: Roäc does not explicitly appear. However, just prior to the final confrontation with the [[Elves of Mirkwood|Elven]] Army assembled before the gates, a raven is seen flying away from the gate of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], then just before [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin]]'s Army of [[Dwarves]] arrives, the raven is seen flying back to [[Thorin]] at the gate. This visually implies that Thorin sent a message with this raven, though it is not explained in dialogue, and the raven itself does not talk.

'''Finarfin''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[fiˈnarfin]}}) was the youngest child and son of [[Finwë]] and [[Indis]]. After the [[Flight of the Noldor]] he remained in [[Tirion]] and ruled the Noldor who remained in [[Aman]].<ref>{{S|Index}}, ''Finarfin''</ref>

==History==
Finarfin was born in [[Valinor]] in {{YT|1230}}.<ref>{{MR|P2j}}, p. 92</ref> He was the youngest of the five children of [[Finwë]], the [[High King of the Noldor]]. Finarfin's mother was [[Indis]], Finwë's second wife.<ref>{{S|Princes}}</ref> Finarfin's full siblings were [[Findis]], [[Fingolfin]], and [[Írimë]] while his half-brother was the great [[Elves|Elf]] Lord [[Fëanor]]. Fëanor disapproved of his father's second marriage and had small love for Indis and her children although Finarfin remained far from those disputes.<ref>{{S|Feanor}}</ref>

In {{YT|1280}} Finarfin married [[Eärwen]], daughter of [[Olwë]], King of the [[Teleri]] in [[Valinor]].<ref>{{MR|P2j}}, p. 92</ref> They had four children: [[Finrod]], [[Angrod]], [[Aegnor]] and [[Galadriel]].<ref group="note">[[Orodreth]] appears as one of Finarfin's sons in ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. In [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien's]] writings, however, he was clearly marked as [[Angrod]]'s son. [[Christopher Tolkien]], the editor of ''The Silmarillion'', later admitted the mistake.</ref><ref>{{PM|Gil-galad}}, pp. 349-351</ref> Finarfin's mother was of the [[Vanyar]], and he inherited her fair hair, which he passed on to his children.<ref>{{PM|Case}}, p. 336</ref> The Elves of the '''[[House of Finarfin]]''' were unique among their kin who had dark hair.

In {{YT|1495}}.<ref>{{MR|P2j}}, p. 100</ref> [[Morgoth|Melkor]] destroyed the [[Two Trees]],<ref>{{S|Darkening}}</ref> slaughtered Finarfin's father Finwë, and stole the [[Silmarils]] of Fëanor. Enraged, Fëanor came to the city of [[Tirion|Tirion upon Túna]] and convinced many of his kinsmen to leave Valinor for [[Middle-earth]], to recover the Silmarils and defeat Morgoth. Fëanor was a charismatic speaker, but Fingolfin and Finarfin were unmoved. However they too followed their half-brother, more for their children who eagerly accepted his cause.

The [[Noldor]] followed Fëanor in groups, and Fingolfin and Finarfin led the last host. As such they did not participate in the [[First Kinslaying]] or know its true cause at the time. While they were travelling up the coast of [[Araman]], the [[Valar|Vala]] [[Mandos]] appeared and pronounced the [[Doom of Mandos|Doom of the Noldor]]. Finarfin, dismayed by the prophecy and already contemplating return because of the tragedy of the Kinslaying of his wife's people at [[Alqualondë]], returned to Valinor with a small group of his people; his sons, though, would not forsake the sons of Fingolfin and went on.<ref>{{S|Flight}}</ref>
[[File:Maureval - The War of Wrath.jpg|thumb|left|Maureval - ''The War of Wrath'']]
Eventually Finarfin came to [[Middle-earth]], leading the Valinorean Noldor in the [[War of Wrath]], near the end of the [[First Age]].<ref>{{S|Earendil}}</ref> The fairest and wisest of the sons of Finwe, he presumably still rules the few remaining Noldor in Valinor from Tirion upon [[Túna]].

== Etymology ==
{{Pronounce|Finarfin.mp3|Ardamir}}
Finarfin's [[father-name]] was '''Arafinwë''' ([[Quenya|Q]]:"Noble [son of] Finwë", pron. [[Noldorin|N]] {{IPA|[ˌaraˈfinwe]}},[[Vanyarin|V]] {{IPA|[ˌaraˈɸinwe]}}).<ref>{{PM|Finwe}}, p.344</ref> His [[Amilessë|mother-name]] was '''Ingoldo''', changed from the earlier Ingalaurë ("[[Vanyar|Inga]]-gold", pron.{{IPA|[ˌiŋɡaˈla͡ʊre]}}).<ref>{{PM|Finwe}}, note 30, p. 360</ref>

The name ''Finarfin'' is the [[Sindarin]] version of his father-name.

Finarfin is rare among the [[High Elves]] of the [[Undying Lands]] who did not leave and fall under the [[Doom of Mandos]], in that he is known primarily by his name in Sindarin, a language indigenous to [[Middle-earth]] and not thought to have been known or studied in Aman until after the Exiles were allowed to return at the end of the [[First Age]], save the possibility that Sindarin was learned from the Elves of [[Beleriand]] who died and went to sojourn in the [[Halls of Mandos]]. Other such Amanya High Elves who stayed behind are primarily known by their [[Quenya]] or [[Telerin]] names. But both of Finarfin's brothers went into Exile, with the result that both were largely remembered by Sindarin names, and also Finarfin's name is structured very similarly to that of his brother [[Fingolfin]]. It is probably unlikely that [[Fëanor]] and [[Amras]] had the time to learn Sindarin before they died so soon after reaching Beleriand, but they fell under the Doom of Mandos nevertheless, making Finarfin the only known [[Amanyar|Amanya]] never under the Doom whose name is primarily known in its Sindarin form.

== Other Versions of the Legendarium ==
Finarfin was called [[Finrod]] in earlier versions of the [[legendarium]], and his son was named '''[[Inglor Felagund]]'''. As such he appears in the 1st edition of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' as Finrod. This was changed in later editions, but not all references to '''Inglor''' were removed, since in the later version, it is probably the Sindarin version of '''Ingalaurë'''. (see [[Gildor|Gildor Inglorion]]).

In some early works, his name is spelled "Finarphin".<ref>{{MR|P4}}</ref> An early version of [[Appendix F]], mentions the "royal house of Finarphir" which was corrected in later editions.<ref>The form "Finarphir" has an entry in {{HM|Guide}}</ref>

Oath of Eorl

2015-08-17T22:33:03Z

Friedrich Pohn: Undo revision 277719 by Friedrich Pohn (talk)

The '''Oath of Eorl''', also called the '''Oath of Cirion''',<ref>{{VT|42a}}, p. 20</ref> was the alliance sworn between the nations of [[Rohan]] and [[Gondor]].

Also agreed was whenever help was needed, the two kingdoms would aid each other. The signal that help was needed was the [[Red Arrow]], a symbol of danger. For faster communication between the two allies, the [[warning beacons of Gondor]] were used. These beacons were placed on seven hills along the northern ridge of the [[White Mountains]].

== The Oath ==
[[File:Ted_Nasmith_-_The_Oathtaking_of_Cirion_and_Eorl.jpg|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Oathtaking of Cirion and Eorl'']]
The Oath was first sworn in {{TA|2510}} by [[Cirion]], the twelfth Ruling Steward of Gondor, and by [[Eorl]], King of the [[Éothéod]] (later first King of Rohan) following the [[Battle of the Field of Celebrant]]. The Oath stated that the province of [[Calenardhon]] would be forever of Rohan, established its borders, and an alliance between the kingdoms. The two rulers swore their oaths on the [[Halifirien]] hill at the site of the [[Tomb of Elendil]].

Eorl spoke his oath in [[Rohirric|his own language]]. In addition to his oath, Cirion spoke an invocation in [[Quenya]] and the [[Westron|Common Speech]], calling the [[Valar]] and [[Ilúvatar|Eru]] to witness the oaths that were taken.

{{quote|Vanda sina termaruva Elenna-nóreo alcar [[Enyalië|enyalien]] ar Elendil Vorondo voronwë. Nai tiruvantes i hárar mahalmassen mi Númen ar i Eru i or ilyë mahalmar eä tenn' oio|Cirion}}

Eru's name was very rarely invoked in oaths, and indeed had not been since the time of the [[Last Alliance]]. Among people of Numenorean descent, it was held that only the King could call upon Eru, but Cirion had that authority as Steward and regent for the King.<ref>{{UT|Cirion}}</ref>

==History of the Oath==
In {{TA|2710}} King [[Déor]] asked the help of [[Egalmoth (Steward of Gondor)|Steward Egalmoth]] to drive off the [[Dunlendings]] from the occupied [[Ring of Isengard]], but a renewed war against the Orcs prevented the Steward from fulfill the Oath.<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}</ref><ref>{{UT|Isen}}</ref>

In {{TA|2885}}, when [[Ithilien]] was invaded in great strength, King [[Folcwine]] of [[Rohan]] fulfilled the Oath and sent many men to Gondor. With their aid [[Steward]] [[Túrin II]] won a victory at the crossings of [[Poros]], though the princes [[Fastred (son of Folcwine)|Fastred]] and [[Folcred]] were slain.<ref>{{App|TA}}</ref>

During the [[War of the Ring]], the [[Red Arrow]] was brought to King [[Théoden]] of Rohan by a messenger of Gondor while [[Minas Tirith]] was besieged by [[Sauron]].

The Oath was renewed by [[Aragorn]] and [[Éomer]] upon their accessions to the thrones of Gondor and Rohan.

'''Galadriel''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[ɡaˈladri.el]}}) was a [[Noldo]], one of the [[Calaquendi]], and arguably the most famous and powerful elf of the [[Third Age]]. She was one of the bearers of the [[Three Rings]], of [[Nenya]], and with it kept her realm of [[Lothlórien]] free of stain.

==History==
===Life in Aman===

When a fourth child was born to [[Finarfin]], prince of the Noldor, and [[Eärwen]], princess of the [[Falmari|Teleri]], her father named her '''[[Artanis]]''', which is "noble woman". She was unusually tall and strong as she grew, and so Eärwen’s name for her was '''[[Nerwen]]''', "man-maiden". It is said among the Eldar that her hair had captured the light of the [[Two Trees]] in Valinor, which resulted a very unique and dazzling colour of gold and silver. According to a legend, this is how [[Fëanor]] conceived the idea of capturing the light of the trees inside the [[Silmarils]].
Despite her mixed blood, she was identified as a princess of the Noldor, as her father was the third son of [[Finwë]], [[High King of the Noldor]].

During the [[Darkening of Valinor]], she was very independent and visionary. She swore no [[Oath of Fëanor|oaths]] but the words of Fëanor concerning Middle-earth kindled a desire in her heart, as she was eager to see those wide unguarded lands and rule a realm of her own.
During the troubles that followed, it is unclear if she took any part in the [[Kinslaying of Alqualondë]]. However, accounts suggest she travelled among the second group led by Fingolfin, which joined the battle at [[Alqualondë]] late and without knowing how it had started. Some of that group had not participated in the killing, although it is not clear who and how many. Dismayed by the prophecy of [[Mandos]], her father Finarfin abandoned the march of the Noldor and returned to Valinor. But Galadriel and her brothers crossed the [[Helcaraxë]] in far north and arrived to the northern shores of [[Hither Lands]]<ref name="Sil9">{{S|Flight}}</ref>.

===Arrival to Middle-earth===
[[File:Līga Kļaviņa - Love at First Sight.jpg|left|thumb|Līga Kļaviņa - ''Love at First Sight'']]
In [[Beleriand]], Galadriel and her eldest brother [[Finrod Felagund]] came to [[Doriath]] as guests of [[Elu Thingol]], the King of Doriath. It was there she met [[Celeborn]], a kinsman of Thingol, who would become her husband and companion in Middle-earth<ref>{{S|13}}</ref>. When her brother Finrod departed to the [[Caverns of Narog]] to establish the stronghold of [[Nargothrond]], Galadriel did not go with him and remained in Doriath with her husband, though she occasionally visited her brother in Nargothrond.
[[Image:Donato Giancola - Galadriel and the mirror.jpg|right|thumb|[[Donato Giancola]] - ''Galadriel and the mirror'']]
During her days in Doriath, Galadriel became friends with Queen [[Melian]] the [[Maia]], and they spoke often to one another about Valinor.<ref name="Sil15">{{S|15}}</ref> Melian was eager to learn the causes of the [[Exile of the Noldor|Exile of the Noldor]], but Galadriel would tell her nothing of what occurred after the death of the Trees. Eventually, however, as Melian’s guesses became more shrewd and accurate, Galadriel revealed the tale to her, though still leaving out the death of Finwë, the Kinslaying, and the burning of the Ships at [[Losgar]].<ref name="Sil15"/> Melian was able to discern some of what was left unsaid, and still more came as rumors to Thingol’s ears. At last, egged on by the accusing words of Thingol, [[Angrod]] told all. Galadriel was not expelled from Doriath because of Thingol’s sympathy to the houses of Finarfin and Fingolfin for the wrongs they had suffered. All the same, she went to Nargothrond to live with Finrod for a time.<ref name="Sil15"/> Presumably, she returned to Doriath to live with her husband.

Galadriel did not have any significant role in the general course of events in the [[War of the Jewels]]. She and Celeborn survived, or even were not present in the [[Sack of Nargothrond|destruction of Nargothrond]] in {{FA|495}} and [[Sack of Doriath|Doriath]] in {{FA|503}}/{{FA|506}}. It is not unlikely that after the destruction of Doriath they went to the [[Havens of Sirion]] along with many survivors of Beleriand (or even with their Telerin kin to the [[Isle of Balar]] with [[Círdan]]). Thus they even survived the [[Third Kinslaying]], and after that, the [[War of Wrath]].

Given the choice whether to stay in Middle-earth or not, Galadriel and Celeborn surprisingly decided to remain. Galadriel was still very proud, even arrogant, and refused to accept the pardon of the [[Valar]] and therefore exiled herself in Middle-earth.

===Second Age===

After the War of Wrath, Galadriel and Celeborn came to [[Lindon]] with the other survivors of Beleriand. They ruled over the fiefdom of [[Harlindon]], which was composed mostly of [[Sindar]], under the [[Gil-galad|High King Gil-galad]]<ref>{{PM|X}}</ref>. Eventually the couple moved to a new land called [[Eregion]] in far eastwards of Lindon. It was ruled by [[Celebrimbor]], a grandson of Fëanor and distant cousin of Galadriel. They dwelt there for a time and Galadriel was probably present during the crafting of the [[Rings of Power]]. Eventually Galadriel and Celeborn made contact with the [[Nandor]] of [[Amdír]], who dwelt in a forest realm called [[Lórinand]] across the [[Misty Mountains]]. They crossed the [[Hithaeglir]] through [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]] and relocated to there, becoming great among the [[Silvan Elves|Wood-elves]].

Celebrimbor and the jewelsmiths of [[Gwaith-i-Mírdain]] collaborated with [[Annatar]] on the great process of making Rings of Power.<ref name="SilV">{{S|V}}</ref> By Annatar’s help, the Elves of Eregion created many rings, but both Celebrimbor and Annatar created greater rings of their own in secret. Celebrimbor wrought the [[Three Rings]] of the Elves, which were far more powerful than the lesser rings. Annatar, however, wrought [[the One Ring]]. When he placed it on his finger, the Elves were aware of his treachery, and took off their rings. Celebrimbor, afraid for his life but even more for the safety of the Three Rings, sent them to two of the [[Wise]]: [[Narya]] and [[Vilya]] for Gil-galad (who eventually gave Narya to [[Círdan]]), and [[Nenya]] for Galadriel. Very few even of the Eldar knew who hid each of these Rings. Celebrimbor was slain by [[Sauron]] not long after, and Eregion was laid waste.<ref name="SilV"/> But the Three Rings were safe. [[Image:Angus McBride - Galadriel.gif|thumb|left|250px|[[Angus McBride]] - ''Galadriel'']]

===Third Age===

When King [[Amroth]] son of Amdír perished, Celeborn and Galadriel ruled Lórinand (now known as [[Lothlórien]] or Lórien) jointly, and were called the [[Lord and Lady of Galadhrim]]. Lothlórien blossomed, and Galadriel planted the [[mallorn]] seeds brought with her from Lindon, the only mallorns east of the Sea. They established [[Caras Galadhon]], and the realm of Lothlórien was one of light and life. It was during their days of power and glory in Lothlórien (either before or after the deaths of Amdír and Amroth) that Galadriel bore her first and only child: a daughter exceedingly fair named [[Celebrían]]. She married [[Elrond]], a close friend of Galadriel’s and bearer of [[Vilya]] after the death of Gil-galad during the Alliance. Celeborn and Galadriel had three grandchildren by her, one of whom, [[Arwen]], they were especially close to. But Celebrían was waylaid and tortured by [[Orcs]] in {{TA|2509}}, and passed West over the sea.

In {{TA|2463}} the [[White Council]] was formed. Galadriel, being one of the [[Wise]] and the greatest threat to Sauron alive, was one of the members.<ref name="SilV"/> Celeborn may have been as well, but this is not known for sure. She was a good friend of [[Gandalf]], and recommended that he be made head of the Council. But this distinction fell instead to [[Saruman]], whom she distrusted.

[[Image:Billy Mosig - The Mirror of Galadriel.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Billy Mosig]] - ''The Mirror of Galadriel'']]During the [[War of the Ring]], Galadriel met the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] in {{TA|3019}}. She especially was attentive to the [[Hobbits|Hobbit]] [[Frodo Baggins]], who was the bearer of [[the One Ring]]. She showed him Nenya, and let him gaze into her [[Mirror of Galadriel|mirror]] of seeing. He offered her the One Ring, and despite the extreme temptation, she resisted it successfully. She sent the Fellowship off on their quest furnished with [[Gifts_of_Galadriel|gifts]]. The two most important gifts she gave were to [[Aragorn]], whom she knew well and liked, and a [[Dwarves|dwarf]] named [[Gimli]]. To Aragorn she gave the [[Elfstone]], which she and her daughter Celebrían had worn. She was unsure as to what to give Gimli, and asked what he wanted. After complimenting her beauty, he requested a single strand of her hair. Galadriel remembered the posing of a similar question by Fëanor, but had searched Gimli’s heart and knew that his intentions were pure. She rewarded him with three strands, which he was later to put into an imperishable crystal in memory of her.

Not long after the departure of the Fellowship she received the resurrected Gandalf. She reclothed and refurnished him, giving him a new staff. After Gandalf left, Lothlórien was subjected to three successive attacks by armies coming out of [[Dol Guldur]]. By the power of her Ring they were thrice repulsed. Celeborn then led [[Fall of Dol Guldur|an attack on Dol Guldur]] itself. Once the dark fortress was in the hands of the Galadhrim, Galadriel came, threw down its walls, and purified it of its evil. It was her last act of power, for the One Ring was destroyed, and the strength of Nenya waned and eventually vanished almost completely.

===Return to Valinor===

Galadriel attended the wedding of Aragorn with Arwen, then returned to Lothlórien. But in {{TA|3021}}, two years later, she bade farewell to Celeborn her husband and went West to Valinor. With her went the other two bearers of the Rings, Gandalf and Elrond, and Frodo and Bilbo Baggins who had borne the One Ring. They passed West, and came never again to Middle-earth. There in Valinor Galadriel must have tried to heal Frodo of his spiritual wounds. Whether she was successful or not is unknown. But sometime later during the [[Fourth Age]] she received Celeborn, her husband. And in {{FoA|120}}, it is said, she received Gimli her admirer, who was the first and only dwarf to enter Valinor.

==Characteristics==

Galadriel was very beautiful, her hair being the most notable feature about her. It reminded the Eldar of the light of the [[Two Trees]]. Galadriel, at least in her earlier years, was of a somewhat proud and rebellious nature. She was free-spirited, and during her time in Aman had many dreams of wide unexplored lands. Her favorite brother was Finrod, for he, too, shared this vision. She could explore the minds and hearts of others, and her gaze was seeing. It may be because of her unusual beauty and power that she became proud.

But by the Third Age she is also seen to act with wisdom and gentleness. In ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', she appears very gentle, firm, and wise. She was revered even more than Celeborn by the Galadhrim and all who met her.

==Etymology==
{{Pronounce|Galadriel.mp3|Ardamir}}
''[[Galadriel]]'' is a [[Sindarin]] name translated by [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] as "glittering garland",<ref>{{L|345}}, p. 423</ref> "Maiden crowned with gleaming hair",<ref>{{L|348}}, p. 428</ref> and "maiden crowned with a radiant garland".<ref name=SApp>{{S|Appendix}}</ref><ref>{{HM|RC}}, pp. 44-45</ref> It has been suggested that ''Galadriel'' consists of ''[[galad]]'' ("light, radiance") + ''[[rî]]'' ("crown") + ''[[iell]]'' ("daughter").<ref>{{webcite|articleurl=http://www.tolkiendil.com/langues/english/i-lam_arth/compound_sindarin_names#g|articlename=Compound Sindarin Names|website= [http://www.tolkiendil.com/ Tolkiendil.com]}}</ref> Tolkien notes that the element ''galad'' had no relation to Sindarin ''[[galadh]]'' ("tree", or Silvan ''galad'' "tree"), but that such a connexion often was made and her name then was pronounced ''Galadhriel''.<ref name=SApp/><ref>{{MR|P3I5}}, p. 182 (commentary to §42)</ref>

==Names==

'''''Alatáriel''''' was the [[Telerin]] [[Quenya]] name given to Galadriel by [[Celeborn]], meaning "Maiden Crowned with Radiant Garland", which referred to her hair.<ref>{{PM|Shibboleth}}, ''The names of Finwë's descendants'', p. 347</ref>

'''''Artanis''''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈartanis]}}, stem ''Artaniss-'') was Galadriel's [[father-name]]: it means "Noble Woman" in [[Quenya]] from ''[[arta]]'' and ''[[nís]]''.<ref>{{PM|Shibboleth}}, ''The names of the Sons of Fëanor with the legend of the fate of Amrod'', p. 354</ref><ref>{{MR|P3II}}, p. 213</ref>

'''''Galadhriel''''' was a name occasionally, and incorrectly, used of [[Galadriel]] after she became [[Lady of Lórien]], and meaning 'tree-garland'. As the [[Lady of the Galadhrim]], whose capital was at [[Caras Galadhon]], it is perhaps understandable that her name should have become confused with the [[Elvish]] word galadh, meaning 'tree'. Nonetheless, this usage was mistaken — her true name ''Galadriel'' actually derived from the word ''galad'' ("radiant"), and the false variant ''Galadhriel'' was never used in her own country of [[Lórien in Middle-earth|Lórien]].<ref>{{S|Appendix}}, ''kal-''</ref>

==Other Versions of the Legendarium==
There is a bit of befuddlement and confusion in the story of Galadriel, which [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] revised multiple times. Originally, and in the published ''[[The Silmarillion|Silmarillion]]'', Galadriel followed Fëanor into Exile.<ref name="Sil9"/> Then she met Celeborn in [[Doriath]], for Celeborn was one of the Sindar.<ref>{{S|Return}}</ref> This earlier account explains the difficulty of Celeborn and Galadriel being so closely related (the Eldar did not marry that close). Though it's possible that Galadriel and Celeborn rebelliously defied the customs and laws, it is primarily because of this difficulty that the earlier account has some veracity.

According to the version of ''History of Galadriel and Celeborn'' in [[Unfinished Tales]], she lived with her [[Teleri|Telerin]] relatives in Alqualondë. It was in there that she met ''Teleporno'', a young Telerin prince probably the son or grandson of [[Olwë]] (which would make him Artanis’s uncle or cousin)*. They eventually fell in love, and he called her in his own Telerin tongue [[Alatáriel]] (later [[Sindarization|Sindarinized]] as Galadriel and semi-[[Quenya|Quenyarized]] as [[Altáriel]]). She had another admirer as well: her half-uncle, Fëanor. Fëanor, being a lover of beauty and brilliance, noted her shining hair. He may have been inspired by her tresses to make the Silmarils, both being said to capture the light of the Two Trees. He begged her to spare him some of her hair, but she refused him a single hair three times and he gave up. She had unusually strong powers of mental perception, and when she looked into his mind, she saw only darkness, hinting at Fëanor's evil nature.
During the troubles that followed the Darkening of Valinor, she took no part in the atrocities against the Teleri during the Kinslaying of Alqualondë, but urged Teleporno her beloved to sail across the Sea to Middle-earth by her side. He agreed for her sake, and so they both came under the [[Doom of Mandos]]. Their crossing to Middle-earth by ship was the exception—Fëanor and [[Sons of Fëanor|his sons]] had sailed stolen Telerin ships, while the vast majority of the other Noldor under Fingolfin crossed the [[Helcaraxë]] on foot.

Once in Beleriand they were welcomed by King [[Thingol]] of Doriath, as both were Telerin in origin. Thingol knew nothing of what had happened to his brother Olwë and the [[Calaquendi]], and they brought news. But they said nothing about the Kinslaying. [[Teleporno]] was Sindarinized as ''Celeborn'', and Artanis adopted Teleporno’s pet name for her, Alatáriel, in its Sindarin form: ''Galadriel''.
After the rest of the Noldor arrived in Beleriand and the great [[Dagor-nuin-Giliath]] was fought, Galadriel re-established contact with her brothers, though her hate for the orphaned sons of Fëanor was still strong. She learned much from Melian during her days in Doriath, and occasionally spent time in Nargothrond with her eldest brother Finrod Felagund.

The couple survived the [[War of Wrath|Fall of Beleriand]] and came to [[Lindon]]. Galadriel and her husband stayed there for a while, in the kingdom of Galadriel’s relative [[Gil-galad]]. There for a time they ruled over a fiefdom of [[Sindar]]. Eventually in early [[Second Age]] they went eastwards and established (primarily but by no means solely) the Noldorin realm of [[Eregion]]. [[Celebrimbor]] lived there, and was high in importance among the [[Gwaith-i-Mirdain|smiths]].
Though Galadriel urged Celebrimbor against it, the Noldo collaborated with [[Annatar]] (who was actually Sauron in a fair disguise) on the great process of making Rings of Power. When Sauron's plot revealed, Galadriel counselled Celebrimbor to send the Three Rings far from Eregion. So two of the rings (Narya and Vilya) were sent to Gil-Galad (who eventually gave Narya to Círdan) and Nenya was given to Galadriel. She took the ring across the Misty Mountains through [[Moria|Khazad-dûm]] to safety in a land called [[Lórinand]] in the east.
In time [[Amdír]], King of Lórinand, was slain in the [[Battle of Dagorlad]] during the [[War of the Last Alliance]]. Celeborn may have participated in the war, but the greatest effect it had on the twain (and Lórinand) was the destruction of [[Sauron]] and the loss of [[the One Ring]]. Galadriel was now free to use her ring. With [[Nenya]], the Ring of Water, Galadriel made the realm of Lórinand even greater. With the power of her ring, she protected it from the intrusion of evils throughout the Third Age.

In the [[Unfinished Tales]] version, Galadriel and Celeborn had two children, of which one was [[Amroth]].<ref>{{UT|Galadriel}}</ref>

It should be noted that Tolkien did not reject any of these versions, therefore it is not possible to say which of these variations would become the 'true' history of Galadriel, if he had time to finish the Silmarillion.

'''1978: [[The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1978 film)]]:'''
:Galadriel is voiced by [[Annette Crosbie]].

'''1981: [[The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series)|''The Lord of the Rings'' (1981 radio series)]]:'''
:The voice of Galadriel is provided by [[Marian Diamond]]. In addition to the Lorien episodes, the voice of Galadriel is heard in Shelob's Lair as a reminder to use the phial, and she appears with Elrond in the final episode in the Shire, as they journey towards the Grey Havens.

'''2001: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'':'''
:Galadriel is played by [[Cate Blanchett]]. Galadriel narrates the Prologue, explaining the creation of the Rings of Power and the War of the Last Alliance. Earlier plans considered were to have either Frodo or Gandalf narrate the Prologue, but this was dropped: Frodo was not alive until thousands of years after these events happened, and although Gandalf was alive, he was not present in Middle-earth at the time; the Wizards came some one thousand years after the Prologue ends. Thus Galadriel narrates the Prologue, because she had first-hand accounts of this history and actively participated in its events.

'''2002: [[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game)|''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' (video game)]]:'''
:Galadriel, voiced by [[Jennifer Hale]], is the narrator of the Prologue and the Epilogue, and appears in Lothlórien.

'''2002: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers]]'':'''
:Galadriel frequently consults telepathically with Elrond; there is an indication from the books{{fact}} that the two were able to communicate in some way, without specific reference. In the film, unlike the book, [[Galadriel]] and [[Elrond]] send an army of [[Elves]] - led by [[Haldir]] - to [[Battle of the Hornburg|Helm's Deep]] to aid the [[Rohirrim]]. In the DVD commentary, [[Peter Jackson]] and his fellow writers explain that they worried audiences would wonder why the Elves don't seem to be helping in the war, while at the same time, they felt that actually inserting an entire separate battle scene at Lothlórien would take up too much screentime and resources.

'''2003: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King]]'':'''
:A spiritual apparition of Lady Galadriel appears to provide Frodo strength following his passage through Shelob's Lair, soon after he uses the Phial that she gave him. She is later seen leaving Middle-Earth along with other Ring-Bearers, but in film version her husband Celeborn departs with her at the same time.

'''2006: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II]]'':'''
:Galadriel is the strongest of "Hero" units available to the Free Peoples. If a player's army manages to spot [[Gollum]] on the battlefield, take The One Ring from him and deliver it to their forces, the option to "summon" Galadriel unlocks for a large amount of resources. Thus, Lady Galadriel is represented as succumbing to corruption of The Ring, similar to the respective scene in the ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' movie.

'''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''
:Galadriel is a non-playable character, who narrates cutscenes and instances throughout the second Volume of the Epic story. Introduced in [[The Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria]] Book VI: [[The Shadowy Abyss]], she usually resides on a [[talan]] at [[Caras Galadhon]].

'''2012-14: [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'' (film series)]]:'''
:Galadriel was portrayed by Cate Blanchett.<ref name="PJCasting">{{webcite|author=[[Peter Jackson]]|articleurl=http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150168211921558|articlename=Production begins in New Zealand on The Hobbit|dated=20-March-2011|website=[http://www.facebook.com/ Facebook]|accessed=23-Dec-2011}}</ref> She appears as part of the [[White Council]] alongside [[Saruman]], [[Gandalf]] and [[Elrond]]. Later, she telepathically urges Gandalf to further seek the true identity of the [[Sauron#Sauron's Return|Necromancer]]. Finally, during the [[attack on Dol Guldur]], Galadriel plays a larger role. She first rescues Gandalf from captivity, and is ultimately the one to drive Sauron from the fortress using her [[Phial of Galadriel|phial]].

My name is Friedrich Pohn. I hale from Bavaria, in the south Germany. I'm 20 years old, and since 2001 with the advent of Peter Jackson's "The Fellowship of the Ring" I have been hooked on to Tolkien and everything he wrote.

==My Collection==
* [[The Hobbit]] (almost every edition)
* [[The Lord of the Rings]] (same as above)
* [[The Silmarillion]]
* [[Unfinished Tales]]
* [[The History of Middle-earth]] (every volume)
* [[The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien]]
* [[The History of The Hobbit]]
* [[Vinyar Tengwar]] (every release)
* [[Parma Eldalamberon]] (same as above)
* [[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]
* [[The Road Goes Ever On]]

Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed in Master Tolkien's main field of interest, the linguistics, so I am afraid that I cannot contribute much to that field.

(It may seem strange that I have every release of VT and PM [primarily linguistics-concerned], but honestly, my interest in those journals stems from the fact that I am obsessive about collecting and finding out every piece of writing relating to ME I can get my hands on.)

Also, I am insanely interested in the [[Atanatarion|Atanatárion]] and its relation to the history of the later ages.

'''Imrazôr''' was a [[Gondorians|Gondorian]] [[Prince]] of [[Belfalas]] at the end of the second millennium of the [[Third Age]]. He was said to have wedded an [[Elves|Elf-maid]] named [[Mithrellas]], a wandering companion of [[Nimrodel]]. His son [[Galador]] was the first [[Prince of Dol Amroth]].<ref>{{UT|Galadriel}}, ''Amroth and Nimrodel''</ref>
==Etymology==
The meaning of the name is not known, however it includes [[Adûnaic]] ''[[zôr]]'' which means "flame" or "foam".

The first element ''imra'' (perhaps from *''imar'') is not translated but it also appears in the name [[Imrahil]] and perhaps [[Imâr]].

Nowhere is it explained why a man living in [[Gondor]] late in the Third Age would have the epithet of "[[The Númenórean]]".

After that battle, and the capture of [[Minas Tirith in Beleriand|Minas Tirith]], [[Orcs]] began to roam unhindered across the lands of [[West Beleriand]]. Halmir called on the aid of King [[Thingol]], who sent many stout [[Sindar]]in warriors under the command of [[Beleg]] to his aid. Together, Halmir and Beleg destroyed a legion of invading Orcs, and gave the southern lands a respite from the defeats in the north.<ref>{{S|Fingolfin}}</ref>

Halmir joined the [[Union of Maedhros]] but died before the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad|next battle]]. He was succeeded as leader of the [[Haladin]] by his son, [[Haldir (Chieftain of the Haladin)|Haldir]].<ref>{{S|Fifth}}</ref>

'''Haldar''' was a [[Man]] of the [[Haladin]] who dwelled in [[Thargelion]]. He was the son of [[Haldad]] and brother of [[Haleth]] and had a son, [[Haldan]].

His family survived an [[Orc]] attack against his people. His father built a [[Gelion-Ascar Stockade|stockade]] in defense. In the ensuing siege their food was exhausted, and Haldad was slain during a sortie against the attacking Orcs. Haldar rushed to recover his father's body, and was slain as well.

Haldar thus did not live to succeed his father as [[Chieftain of the Haladin]]. It was his sister [[Haleth]] who took up the rule of her people, but she died childless, and Haldar's son Haldan and his descendants became the rulers of the people later known as the [[House of Haleth]].<ref>{{S|West}}</ref>

'''Haleth the Hunter''' ({{FA|341}} – {{FA|420}}, aged 79 years) was the daughter of [[Haldad]] and twin sister of [[Haldar]]. In time she became leader of the [[Haladin]], one of the [[Edain#The Three Houses|Three Houses of the Edain]].

==History==
In {{FA|375}}, the Haladin crossed the [[Blue Mountains]], the second group of [[Men]] to do so. They settled in [[Thargelion]], the land of the [[Noldor|Elf]] Lord [[Caranthir]]. Though they dwelled in Caranthir's land, they did not swear allegiance to him and remained freemen. After her father and her twin brother were slain in an [[Orcs|Orc]] raid, Haleth became [[Chieftain of the Haladin]]. She kept her people alive for seven days while the Orcs laid siege to the encampment, until Caranthir finally arrived with reinforcements. Impressed with her bravery, he offered her a fiefdom in his land and the protection of his soldiers. Haleth, however, was proud and refused his offer.

Haleth instead led her people to the relative safety of the [[Forest of Brethil]] in the lands of King [[Finrod|Finrod Felagund]]. In exchange for defending the [[Crossing of Teiglin|Crossing of the Teiglin River]], King Finrod would allow the Haladin to remain freemen. Years later, when Haleth died, her people raised a monument to her, the ''[[Haudh-en-Arwen]]''. While her father had been elected Chief of his people, the Haladin chose to establish a ruling line from the descendants of Haldad. Because Haleth did not marry and had no children, her brother's son [[Haldan]] became Chieftain of the Haladin.

The Haladin remained in the Forest of Brethil for the duration of the First Age, and in time were known as the '''[[House of Haleth]]'''.<ref>{{S|West}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The name Haleth has no known meaning. In the language of the Haladin, [[hal]] means "chief" or "guard". [[Sindarin]] also has the feminine ending -eth.

}}'''Haldad''' was a man, the first leader of the [[Haladin]] since their settlement in southern [[Thargelion]]. He was said to be a brave and strong man, and was most famous as the father of [[Haleth]].

==History==

During the early years after they crossed the [[Blue Mountains]], the [[Haladin]] dwelt happily in [[Caranthir]]'s lands in [[Thargelion]]. They lived a scattered, pastoral existence until one day a swarm of [[Orcs]] descended on them, without warning, out of the Blue Mountains to the east.

Until that time, the Haladin had no single leader, but upon the coming of the orc-assault Haldad, a man of renown among his kin, took on the role. He gathered what remnant he could of his people, and built a [[Gelion-Ascar Stockade|defensive stockade]] between the rivers [[Gelion]] and [[Ascar]], south of [[Sarn Athrad]]. There the Orcs [[Battle of the Gelion-Ascar Stockade|besieged them]] until their food was exhausted. Haldad led a sortie against the attacking Orcs, and was slain; his son [[Haldar]] rushed to recover his father's body, and was slain in turn.

Haldad's death was not in vain; Haldad's daughter [[Haleth]] led the Haladin through another week of starvation and siege until Caranthir's army appeared out of the north, and drove the attacking Orcs to their deaths.<ref>{{S|West}}</ref>

{{Pronounce|Hador Lorindol.mp3|Ardamir}}

'''Hador Lórindol''' ({{FA|390}}–{{FA|455|n}}, aged 65 years) was a [[Men|Man]], the founder of the [[House of Hador]]. He was the son of [[Hathol]], husband of [[Gildis]], and father of [[Glóredhel]], [[Galdor (Lord of Dor-lómin)|Galdor]], and [[Gundor]].<ref name="Hador">{{WJ|West}}, ''Commentary, (ii) The House of Hador''</ref>

==History==
Hador's ancestor, [[Malach]], spent 14 years in the Kingdom of [[Fingolfin]], [[High King of the Noldor]], and became friendly with the Elves. Although neither Hador's grandfather [[Magor]] nor his father [[Hathol]] served under any Elf-lord,<ref name="Hador"/> Hador entered Fingolfin's household and was beloved by the king.<ref name="Swest"/> In {{FA|416}} Fingolfin granted Hador a hereditary fiefdom in [[Dor-lómin]], where he gathered most of the people of his kin, thus forming the noble '''[[House of Hador]]'''.<ref>{{GA|136}}</ref> To celebrate the event, prince [[Fingon]] presented him with the [[Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin]], for whom it was also called the [[Helm of Hador]].<ref>{{UT|Narn}}, ''The Words of Húrin and Morgoth''</ref>

Noble Hador was remembered as an [[Elf-friend]] (in his household only [[Elvish]] was spoken), the greatest chieftain of the Edain and peer of Elven-lords, and his House became the greatest of the [[Three Houses]] of the [[Edain]]. He ruled Dor-lómin for 32 years until the [[Dagor Bragollach]]. He commanded the rearguard of his liege Fingolfin at the spring of [[Eithel Sirion]], but was slain along with his youngest son Gundor. In his honor, his descendants would call themselves the [[House of Hador]].<ref name="Ruin">{{S|Fingolfin}}</ref>

== Etymology ==
For the etymology of ''Hador'', see the article ''[[Hador (word)]]''.

Hador's epithet, ''[[Lórindol]]'', is [[Sindarin]] for "[[Goldenhead]]" (from ''[[glor]]-'' = "golden light" and ''[[dôl]]'' = "head"), a reference to his golden hair. It was a trait shared by many other members of his House.

==Other Versions of the Legendarium==
In an earlier version it was [[Hador Lórindol]] who led the people of the third house of the Edain across the [[Ered Luin]] into [[Beleriand]]; this was changed so that Hador became Marach's descendant of the fourth generation.<ref name="Hador"/>

In both the ''[[Grey Annals]]''<ref name="GAbirth"/> and ''The folk of Marach'' family tree in ''[[The War of the Jewels]]''<ref name="Hador"/> Hador's date of birth was given as {{FA|390}} while his date of death was {{FA|455}}, which meant that he lived for 65 years. However, in ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' it is said that when he died he was "sixty and six years of age".<ref name="Ruin"/>

He was the grandson of [[Malach|Malach Aradan]] and son of [[Magor]].<ref>{{WJ|West}}, ''Commentary, (ii) House of Hador''</ref> who had settled with some of his folk among the southern foothills of the [[Ered Wethrin]].<ref name=west/>

Little is known of his life, except that he probably dwelt with his folk south of the Ered Wethrin, and was not under the service of any Elf-lord of [[Beleriand]]. Hathol was the father of the great hero [[Hador|Hador Lórindol]], who served [[Fingolfin]] and was granted the land of [[Dor-lómin]] to dwell in.<ref name=west>{{S|West}}</ref>
