- "[Hador] became the mightiest of the chieftains of the Edain. In his house only the Elven-tongue was spoken; but their own speech was not forgotten, and from it came the common tongue of Númenor."
- ― Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Coming of Men into the West"
Hador Lórindol was the first Lord of Dor-lómin, and the founder of the House of Hador which was the Third House of the Edain.[5]
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,[6] Hador entered Fingolfin's household and was beloved by the king.[1] In F.A. 416 Fingolfin granted Hador a hereditary fiefdom in Dor-lómin[3], where he gathered most of the people of his kin, thus forming the noble House of Hador. 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.[4]
Noble Hador was remembered as an Elf-friend (in his household only Elvish was spoken[5]), 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 39 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.[7]
Etymology
- For the etymology of Hador, see the article hador (word).
Hador's epithet, Lórindol, is the lenited form of Glórindol,[8] which is Sindarin for "Goldenhead", from glaur ("golden") and dol ("head"),[9] a reference to his golden hair. It was a trait shared by many other members of his House.
Genealogy
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.[6]
In both the Grey Annals[10] and The folk of Marach family tree in The War of the Jewels[6] Hador's date of birth was given as F.A. 390 while his date of death was F.A. 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".[7]
In later writings, Tolkien intended to switch places between Hador and Magor, so that Hador was to be the son of Malach Aradan, and Magor (nicknamed Dagorlind) the father of Galdor, Gundor and Glóredhel. In that conception, the establishment of the lordship of Dor-lómin was moved two generations back. However, that change was never properly incorporated in the texts.[11][12]
