Revision as of 20:00, 17 January 2016

Elenwë was a Vanyarin elf, the wife of Turgon and the mother of Idril, to whom she passed on the golden hair of her kindred.

Biography

Elenwë was probably born in Valinor sometime during the Noontide of Valinor. Elenwë followed her husband to Middle-earth when his brethren resolved to join the House of Fëanor in pursuit of Melkor and regain the Silmarils. Unfortunately, she along with many others died during the crossing of Helcaraxë, while Turgon almost perished himself trying to save her.[2][3] It was said that her body was covered in ice and was therefore unable to be saved.[4]

She was the only known Vanyar elf to have ever left Valinor and after her death her bloodline survived through her grandson Eärendil, her great-grandsons Elrond and Elros, onward into the royal Númenor-line. Her other descendants included Arwen and her brothers Elladan and Elrohir.

Etymology

Elenwë means "Star person" in Quenya from elen ("star")[5] and the prefix -wë ("person").[6]

Other versions in the legendarium

The earlier name for Elenwë was Alairë (later Anairë). However, Tolkien corrected this and made Anairë Fingolfin's spouse and Turgon's mother.[7]
