Valarindi
From Tolkien Gateway
The Valarindi were the Children of the Valar in the earliest phases of the mythology, especially in The Book of Lost Tales. In the later versions the concept was abandoned and some of the Valarindi characters survived as Maiar. The Quenya name is attested for the last time in The Annals of Aman.[1]
