Ingwion[note 1][4] was the son of Ingwë, the High King of the Elves, and the leader of the Vanyar in the War of Wrath.[5][6]
History
War of Wrath by Elena Kukanova
Ingwion was born at Cuiviénen before the Great Journey to Ingwë and his wife Ilwen.[note 2][1]
Several thousand years later, he led the Vanyar of the Host of the West to Middle-earth to fight in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.[6]
Nothing else is known about his fate, either during the war, or after it.
Etymology
The name Ingwion is in Quenya, and is a compound of the name of his father Ingwë + the Quenya patronymic suffix -ion ("son of"), which is translated as "Son of Ingwë".[7]
Other names
The name Ingwion was changed from an earlier form Ingwiel,[5] which was itself changed from Ingwil.[8] The meanings of these earlier forms are unclear, but they all contain the name of his father Ingwë as one of their elements.[7]
However, in The Nature of Middle-earth, from a text dating c. 1959, the form Ingwil reappears again.[1][9]
Genealogy
Other versions of the legendarium
The Book of Lost Tales
The earliest literary precursor of the character of Ingwion was called Ingil, according to the early version of the legendarium in The Book of Lost Tales. For more information, see: Ingil.
The Later Annals of Beleriand
According to the early version of the legendarium from the Later Annals of Beleriand (late 1930s), Ingwion's (in that text he was called Ingwiel) role in the War of Wrath was slightly more fleshed out than in the later texts.
There, Ingwiel, the "prince of all the Elves", was the commander of the force that landed and captured the haven of Eglarest (in the text it was called Eglorest) in one of the first battles of the war, driving away the Orcs from the shore.[10]
Notes
- ↑ Even though Ingwion doesn't appear in the published Silmarillion, Christopher Tolkien has concluded that the omission of the character was based on a mistake made by his father.
- ↑ This information comes from The Nature of Middle-earth, from a text dating c. 1959, in which the character of Ingwion is called Ingwil. There, in addition to being the son of Ingwë and Ilwen, he is also the elder brother of Indis, the second wife of Finwë - even though in almost every other text she is portrayed as either being Ingwë's sister or else his niece. In that text, Ingwil also had another, unnamed younger sibling.
