Lenwë was the first leader of the Nandor.[2]
History
When the Teleri reached the Great River Anduin and saw the Misty Mountains across their path to the west, some of them fell away from the Journey. Lenwë, belonging to the host of Olwë, led a part of the Teleri south, down the Vales of Anduin. Lenwë's people afterwards became known as the Nandor.[2]
Lenwë had a son, Denethor, who eventually crossed the Misty Mountains with a group of his father's people.[2]
Other names
The name Lenwë is the form in which he was remembered among the Noldor, though his original name was most likely Denwego (rendered in Nandorin as Denweg).[1]
Genealogy
Other versions of the legendarium
In the earlier versions of the legendarium his name was Nano (or Dân as he was called by his own people).[3]
