'''Tuor''' ([[First Age]] 471 – c. 560, aged 89 years when he sailed into [[Aman|the West]]) was a great hero of the [[House of Hador|Third House of Men]], the only son of [[Huor]] and [[Rían]]. He was the cousin of [[Túrin Turambar]]. In some writings he is named '''Tûr'''. Tuor's father Huor died shortly before his birth in the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]], and his mother Rían died two years later. Tuor was first fostered by [[Elves]], specifically [[Annael]], then captured by [[Easterlings]], who had been sent there by [[Morgoth]] and cruelly oppressed the remnants of the House of Hador.<br />
<br />
Tuor later escaped, and lived the life of an outlaw. He was ordered in a dream by the [[Valar|Vala]] [[Ulmo]] to go to [[Gondolin]], to warn the [[Turgon|King Turgon]] of Gondolin. Tuor passed through the old Gate of the Noldor (''Annon-in-Gelydh'' in [[Sindarin]]) into [[Nevrast]], where he is said to have been the first man to reach the great sea, [[Belegaer]] the shoreless. Tuor found arms and armour in the ancient halls of [[Vinyamar]] which had been left there centuries ago by Turgon at the command of Ulmo, and met Ulmo himself at the coast of [[Belegaer]]. Ulmo appointed him to be his messenger and told him to seek King Turgon in Gondolin, and sent him an Elf, [[Voronwë of Gondolin]], to guide him.<br />
<br />
Voronwe led Tuor through [[Núath]], where he caught a brief glimpse of his cousin Túrin near the [[Pools of Ivrin]], the only time the paths of the two ever crossed. Journeying through the Fell Winter, they eventually reached the hidden city of Gondolin.<br />
<br />
Tuor remained in Gondolin, and eventually married Turgon's daughter, [[Idril Celebrindal]]. This was the second union between the [[Eldar]] and [[Edain]], after [[Beren Erchamion|Beren]] and [[Lúthien]]. Their only child was [[Eärendil the Mariner]]. Tuor was the leader of the [[House of the Wing]], one of the twelve houses of Gondolin at the time of the [[Fall of Gondolin|sack of the city]]. During the sack of the city Tuor and his family, along with a remnant of the people of Gondolin escaped to the [[Mouths of Sirion]], along [[Idril's Secret Way]]. Tuor eventually built the ship '''[[Eärrámë]]''' ("Sea-wing") and sailed to the [[Aman|West]] with Idril. It was a tradition under the [[Eldar]] and [[Edain]] that they arrived in [[Valinor]], successfully bypassing the [[Ban of the Valar]], and that Tuor alone of Men was counted among Elven kindred, immortal as other Elves.<br />
