Other versions of the legendarium[]

Findis and her sister Irimë do not appear in the published The Silmarillion. They are mentioned only in The History of Middle-earth.

In earlier versions of the legendarium, Finwë and Indis had three daughters Findis, Faniel and Finvain. It remains unclear if the third daughter survived in the final conception of Finwë's family tree.
