* Adanedhel

'Elf-man', name given to Túrin in Nargothrond.

-----

Túrin the son of Húrin, though a Man, was raised from childhood in the

halls of King Thingol of Doriath. When, later in his life, he went to

dwell among the Elves of Nargothrond, they recognised the nobility he had

learned in Thingol's kingdom, and gave him the name Adanedhel, meaning

'Elf-man'.

* Adorn

A river that rose in the western heights of the White Mountains, and

flowed roughly northwestward to meet the Isen on the borders of

Enedwaith. It was important as defining the western border of the country

of Rohan.

* Adrahil #1|Adrahil

A commander of the forces of Gondor against the Wainriders in Third Age

1944; called 'of Dol Amroth', and presumably an ancestor of the second

Adrahil.

* Adrahil #2|Adrahil

Prince of Dol Amroth, father of Imrahil.

-----

The twenty-first Prince of Dol Amroth, descended in direct line from

Galador the first Prince. Adrahil was the son of Angelimar, and father of

Imrahil who fought in the War of the Ring.

* Aduial

The Elvish name for the twilight of dusk (the dim light of evening). The

twilight of dawn they named minuial.

* Adûnaic|Adunaic

'(Language of the) West'. The native tongue of the Númenóreans, the

ancestral language of Westron. Evolved from the old tongue used by the

Men of the House of Hador.

Though the name Adûnaic cannot have been used before the Edain travelled

to Númenor at the beginning of the Second Age, the language itself, or

something very close to it, seems to have been spoken in Beleriand during

the First Age, at least by the people of the House of Hador. While there

is no mention of its use after the Downfall, it cannot have become

completely extinct at this date; it seems likely that the scholars of

Gondor and of Arnor would have been familiar with the ancient tongue of

their ancestors, but in general use Adûnaic was replaced by the Westron

(which had developed from it) and Elvish languages.

* Adunakhôr|Adunakhor

'Lord of the West', name taken by the nineteenth King of Númenor, the

first to do so in the Adûnaic (Númenórean) tongue; his name in Quenya was

Herunúmen.

* Adurant

The sixth and most southerly of the tributaries of Gelion in Ossiriand.

The name means 'double stream', referring to its divided course about the

island of Tol Galen.

-----

The southernmost of the seven rivers of Ossiriand, in which was the

island of Tol Galen.

* Aeglos (plant)|Aeglos

'Snowthorn', a plant that grew on Amon Rûdh.

* Aeglos (spear)|Aeglos

'Snow-point', the spear of Gil-galad, carried by him to the War of the

Last Alliance.

* Aegnor

The fourth son of Finarfin (and elder brother of Galadriel), who with his

brother Angrod held the northern slopes of Dorthonion; slain in the Dagor

Bragollach. The name means 'Fell Fire'.

* Aelin-uial

The 'Meres of Twilight', or 'Lakes of Twilight'; the region of marshes

and pools where the river Aros flowed into Sirion.

-----

The maze of lakes and fens formed where the River Aros met the Sirion,

before it fell beneath the Andram. These were lands heavy with

enchantment, both from the Girdle of Melian guarding Doriath to the

north, but also from the power of Ulmo that was strong in Sirion's

waters. It was here that Turgon and Finrod were given the idea of

building their hidden strongholds at Gondolin and Nargothrond; an idea

placed in their dreams by Ulmo.

The Aelin-uial was under the control of the Sindarin Kingdom of Doriath.

Thingol's marchwardens maintained secret ferries among the reeds, so that

they could cross between Sirion's easten and western banks unregarded, if

need be.

At the southern end of the Aelin-uial, Sirion's waters collected

together once more from the many paths they took through the marshland

and, at the place called the Falls of Sirion, fell in a thundering

torrent down into the earth.

Other Names: Meres of Twilight, Twilight Meres, Twilit Meres.

* Aerandir

'Sea-wanderer', one of the three mariners who accompanied Eärendil on his

voyages. 307

* Aerin

A kinswoman of Húrin Thalion in Dor-lómin; taken as wife by Brodda the

Easterling after he claimed Hithlum. She secretly aided Húrin's wife

Morwen after the disaster of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

* Afterborn

One of the Elves' many names for Men. Translation of Apanónar.

* Aftercomers

The Younger Children of Ilúvatar, Men; translation of Hildor.

-----

One of the many names for the race of Men, who awoke long after the

Elves, the Firstborn. 'Aftercomers' is a translation of the Elvish name

Hildor, a word also seen in the name Hildórien, the Land of the Hildor,

the eastern region where the first Men awoke into the World.

* Afterlithe

The seventh month of the Shire Calendar, following, as its name suggests,

the midsummer feastdays of Lithe, and approximately equivalent to modern

July. In fact, it ran from modern 24 June to 23 July in a normal year.

* Afteryule

The first month of the Shire Calendar, thirty days immediately following

the holiday of Yule (hence its name). It ran from modern 23 December to

21 January.

* Agarwaen

'Blood-stained', name given to himself by Túrin when he came to

Nargothrond.

* Agathurush

Adûnaic translation of the name Gwathló.

* Aghan

The Drûg (Drúadan) in the story of 'The Faithful Stone'.

* Aglarond

The 'Glittering Cavern' of Helm's Deep in Ered Nimrais; used also in

reference to the fortress more strictly called the Hornburg, at the

entrance to Helm's Deep.

-----

The Glittering Caves.

-----

"... gems and crystals and veins of precious ore glint in the polished

walls; and the light glows through folded marbles, shell-like,

translucent as the living hands of Queen Galadriel."

(From Gimli's description of Aglarond; The Two Towers III 8, The Road to

Isengard)

-----

The deep caverns that lay behind Helm's Deep in the White Mountains. When

Gimli saw them during the War of the Ring, he was astonished by their

beauty. After the War he led a party of Dwarves from Erebor to Aglarond,

and became Lord of the Glittering Caves.

* Aglon

'The Narrow Pass', between Dorthonion and the heights to the west of

Himring.

-----

The narrow pass west of the March of Maedhros.

The pass between Himlad and Lothlann, to the northeast of Beleriand.

* Ailinel

The elder of Tar-Aldarion's sisters.

* Ainulindalë (Music)|Ainulindalë|Ainulindale

The 'Music of the Ainur', also called The (Great) Music, The (Great)

Song, of which its name is the Quenya version. The great song of the

Ainur before Ilúvatar at the beginning of time, in which the world was

created.

* Ainulindalë (Tale)|Ainulindalë|Ainulindale

The name of the account of Creation said to have been composed by Rúmil

of Tirion in the Elder Days.

* Ainur|Ainu

The 'Holy Ones' (singular Ainu), the first beings created by Ilúvatar,

the 'order' of the Valar and Maiar, made before Eä.

-----

The Holy Ones.

-----

"There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made

first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his

thought..."

(First words of the Ainulindalë)

-----

The primordial spirits, who existed with Ilúvatar, and with Him created

the world through the Music of the Ainur. After the creation of Arda,

many of the Ainur descended into it to guide and order its growth; of

these there were fifteen more powerful than the rest. Fourteen of these

great Ainur became the Valar, or Powers of Arda. The fifteenth, Melkor,

turned aside from that path and became the first Dark Lord. The many

lesser Ainur that accompanied the Valar into Arda are known as Maiar.

-----

Origins of the Ainur: The Ainur were the first, and mightiest, beings

created by Ilúvatar in the depths of time before the beginning of the

World. The Ainur were the 'offspring of [Ilúvatar's] thought', and each

was given understanding only of that part of the mind of Ilúvatar from

which he or she came. The exception to this was Melkor, the greatest of

the Ainur, who had a part of the gifts of all the others.

The Ainur were 'kindled with the Flame Imperishable', which can be taken

to mean that they were granted free will by their creator. Ilúvatar

instructed them in the arts of music, until he brought them together to

make the Music of the Ainur; the great song that created the Vision of

Ilúvatar and ultimately the real World.

-----

The Ainur and the World: Through the Music of the Ainur, Ilúvatar created

a Vision of the World; he showed it to the Ainur, and explained much of

its nature and destiny to them - so the Ainur have much knowledge of the

World, but are not omniscient. Then, Ilúvatar granted the World true

being. Melkor and many of the other mighty Ainur desired to descend into

it and form it in readiness for the coming of the Children of Ilúvatar

(that is, Elves and Men). These became the beings known as the Valar and

the Maiar.

Those Ainur who entered the World at its beginning remain bound to it

until its end. Though Melkor was eventually thrown into the Void by the

others, he is prophesied to return before the end. Little is known of the

ultimate future of the Ainur, even by themselves, but it is said that,

after the great battle at the end of the World, they will make a Second,

even greater, Music with the Children of Ilúvatar.

-----

The Line of Melian: Among the many Ainur that entered the World long ago,

there was one of the order of the Maiar named Melian. Alone of all the

Ainur, she wedded one of the Children of Ilúvatar, King Elu Thingol of

Doriath. From her, a strain of the Ainur entered the bloodlines of the

Elves and Men, passed down through generation after generation, and was

still present at the time of the War of the Ring. Elrond was Melian's

great-great-grandson, and Aragorn, too, was her descendant, though

through many more generations than Elrond.

* Aiwendil

'Bird-lover', the name in Valinor of the Wizard who became known as

Radagast in Middle-earth.

* Akallabêth|Akallabeth

'The Downfallen', Adûnaic word equivalent in meaning to Quenya Atalantë.

A name of Númenor after its destruction.

* Akallabêth (tale)|Akallabêth|Akallabeth

The account of the Downfall of Númenor.

* Alatar

One of the five Wizards who came to the northwest of Middle-earth in the

Third Age; he journeyed into the east with Pallando, and never returned

to the western lands.

-----

One of the lost Blue Wizards.

One of the five Wizards who came to the northwest of Middle-earth in the

Third Age; he journeyed into the east with Pallando, and never returned

to the western lands.

Alatar was one of the original three Wizards selected by the Valar for

the journey from Valinor to Middle-earth (the other two being Curumo and

Olórin - Saruman and Gandalf).

Alatar and Pallando arrived in Middle-earth dressed in sea-blue. For

this reason, they were together given the name Ithryn Luin, the Blue

Wizards. With Saruman, they journeyed into the far east of Middle-earth,

but while Saruman returned to the west, Alatar and Pallando did not. Of

their fate, we know almost nothing.

* Alatáriel|Alatariel|Altáriel|Altariel

'Maiden crowned with a radiant garland'; also Altáriel. An ancient form

(Quenya and Telerin) of the name of Galadriel.
