'''Elemmakil''', one of the [[Noldor]], was the Captain of the Guard in the secret passageway to [[Gondolin]] when [[Tuor]] and [[Voronwë]] appeared. Elemmakil was amazed that his friend Voronwë would bring a mortal man with him and announced that he should, by law, slay him. Voronwë and Tuor answered that they came at the command of [[Ulmo]]. Elemmakil then guided the two through the Seven Gates of the [[Orfalch Echor]], until he delivered them unto [[Ecthelion|Ecthelion of the Fountain]], then serving as the Warden of the Great Gate.<ref>{{UT|Tuor}}</ref>

'''Avranc''' was a [[Man]] of the [[House of Haleth]] in the [[First Age]], and a son of [[Dorlas]] of [[Brethil]].<ref name="Avranc1">{{WJ|P3|I}}, p. 275</ref>

==History==
Avranc was "a young man short and dark, but strong"; by the Men of Brethil he "was not loved for himself; for though he was bold, he was scornful, as was Dorlas his father before him". He was still well liked by [[Hardang]], the Chieftain of Brethil, and was among the guards at the Crossings of [[Taeglin]]. He is stated to have been "not long wedded" at the time of the kin-strife in {{FA|501}}.

When [[Húrin Thalion]] was found unconscious by [[Haudh-en-Elleth]], Avranc suggested killing him immediately, since trouble followed Húrin from [[Angband]]. Avranc was rebuked by his Captain [[Manthor]], but against his command, Avranc sped to Hardang to bear the news.

When Húrin and Manthor finally came to Obel Halad, Hardang and Avranc provoked Húrin into attacking Hardang. Hardang sent Húrin to prison and Avranc urged that Húrin be put to death immediately. Avranc tried to shoot Húrin down, but Hardang restrained him for the time being. Manthor once again withstood them, summoning the Moot of the Folk of Brethil.

On the following day, Avranc sent rumours among the woodmen of the darker sides of Húrin. Hardang appointed Avranc to defend his cause during the Moot of the Folk. But in eloquent words, Manthor turned Hardang's mistreatment of Húrin to Hardang's undoing. The Men of Brethil besieged Hardang and his followers in the [[Obel Halad]], setting the Hall on fire.

Avranc tried to shoot Manthor twice, but missed. Avranc escaped the burning of the Hall, but Hardang was slain. Avranc managed to shoot Manthor two days later, but a new wave of rioting upon [[Amon Obel]] followed. In the end, Avranc was chosen as the new Chieftain, and the descendants of [[Haldad]] were no more. The people perceived that it was Húrin who brought the ruin on Brethil. The counsels of Hardang "were more wise", but Avranc wielded no such authority or reverence as the Haladin before. Many men forsook Brethil.<ref>{{WJ|Hurin}}</ref>

}}'''Hardang''' was a Chieftain of the [[Men of Brethil]] in the [[First Age]].
==History==
He descended from [[Halmir]] of the [[House of Haleth]]. Hardang was the son of [[Hundad]] who was the son of [[Hundar]]. After the death of the Chieftain of Brethil, [[Handir]], Hardang tried to have his cousin, [[Brandir]] dismissed of the throne in favor of himself. Many believed Brandir was unfit to rule and supported Hardang.

After the death of Brandir a new Chieftain had to be elected. As Brandir had no children the [[Folk of Brethil]] wished for his cousin [[Manthor]] to take up the line, however they were connected by a daughter, and thus Hardang won the election. Hardang promoted Manthor to become the Captain of the Guards at the [[Crossings of Taeglin]].

Within two years of Hardang's ruling, rumors of the return of [[Húrin|Húrin Thalion]] began spreading. As Hardang disliked the [[House of Hador]] for he had no blood relation. Upon Húrin's return, at the [[Moot of the Folk]] Manthor defended Húrin against Hardang.

The [[Folk of Brethil]] were angered by Hardang actions and burned the [[Hall of the Chieftains]]. Hardang attempted to escape but was hit with a spear in his back and he perished.
{{stub}}
==Other versions==
In early versions of the story, Hardang's name was Harathor, and it was he, not Manthor, who was the brother of Túrin's companion Hunthor.
