Lenwë was the first leader of the Nandor.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
When the Eldar had to leave Atyamar and cross the Great River Anduin,[4] seeing 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[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]
In the earlier versions of the legendarium his name was Nano (or Dân as he was called by his own people).[3]
