Revision as of 22:50, 7 November 2019

This article is about the Noldorin elf. For the queen of Númenor, see Tar-Míriel.

Míriel Therindë [Quenya: Þerindë] or Míriel Serindë was the first wife of Finwë, the High King of the Ñoldor and the mother of Fëanor. Miriel's hair was described as being silver in appearance, an unusual color for one of the Ñoldor.[2] She was highly skilled in the art of weaving and needlework, and thus her amilessë (mother-name) was Þerindë, the Broideress.[4]

Biography

Steamey - Finwe near his wife Miriel Serinde

Finwe near his wife Miriel Serinde, by Steamey.

Míriel married Finwë sometime during the Noontide of Valinor and they lived in Tirion. In YT 1169,[1] Míriel bore a son, called Curufinwë, whom she called Fëanáro which means "Spirit of Fire". After giving birth to him she could no longer live, and so wished to die, something which was impossible because, as an elf, she was immortal within Arda.

In YT 1170,[1] she laid down in his gardens where her fëa peacefully departed from her body, and she entered the Halls of Mandos: in essence losing her free will. Her body was tended by the maidens of Estë and remained preserved.[4][2] This was seen as a shocking event by the Valar, and eventually led to the second marriage of Finwë, and from there to the Rebellion of the Ñoldor and the First Kinslaying.[5]

After Finwë had been killed, Míriel was granted permission to return to life, where she entered the service of Vairë, her task to weave all the deeds of the House of Finwë in the Tapestry of Time.[6]

Etymology

Míriel means "Jewel-woman" or perhaps "Jewel-daughter", and her amilessë Þerindë "Broideress".[7] Serindë is a later version of her name after changes in the language of the Noldor. However, she requested that her kin continue to call her Þerindë (Þ is pronounced "th" so therindë ).[6]

Character

Míriel was described to have silver hair and a slender figure. Her customary singing while working was described as "soft and sweet".[2]
