LIST OF NAMES IN THE ORIGINAL TEXTS I have made this List of Names (restricted to names that occur in the passages of my father’s writing), which is obviously not an index, with two purposes in mind. Neither of them is in any way essential to the book. In the first place, it is intended to assist a reader who cannot recall, among the mass of names (and forms of names), the reference of one that may be of significance in the narrative. In the second place, certain names, especially those that occur rarely or only once in the texts, are provided with a slightly fuller explanation. For example, while this is obviously of no significance in the tale, one may nonetheless want to know why the Eldar would not touch spiders ‘because of Ungweliantë’ (p. 41). Aeluin Aglon A lake in the northeast of Dorthonion where Barahir and his companions made their lair. A narrow pass between Taur-na-Fuin and the Hill of Himring, held by sons of Fëanor. Ainur (singular Ainu) ‘The Holy Ones’: the Valar and the Maiar. [The name Maiar was a late introduction of an earlier conception: ‘With the great ones came many lesser spirits, beings of their ownkind but of smaller might’ (such as Melian).] Aman The Land in the West beyond the Great Sea in which the Valar dwelt (‘the Blessed Realm’). Anfauglith Angainu ‘The Gasping Dust’. See Dor-na-Fauglith, The Thirsty Plain. The great chain, made by the Vala Aulë, in which Morgoth was bound (later Angainor). Angamandi (plural) ‘The Hells of Iron’. See Angband. Angband Angrim Angrod The great dungeon-fortress of Morgoth in the north-west of Middle-earth. Father of Gorlim the Unhappy. Son of Finrod (later Finarfin). Arda The Earth. Artanor Aryador Ascar ‘The Land Beyond’; region subsequently named Doriath, the kingdom of Tinwelint (Thingol). ‘Land of Shadow’, a name of Hisilómë (Dor-lómin) among Men. See Hisilómë. River in Ossiriand, renamed Rathlorion ‘Goldenbed’ when the treasure of Doriath was sunk in it. Aulë The great Vala known as Aulë the Smith; he is ‘a master of all crafts’, and ‘his lordship is over all the substances of which Arda is made.’ Ausir A name of Dior. Balrogs [In the Lost Tales the Balrogs are conceived as existing ‘in hundreds’. They are called ‘demons of power’; they wear iron armour, and they have claws of steel and whips of flame.] Barahir Bauglir A chieftain of Men, the father of Beren. ‘The Constrainer’, a name of Morgoth among the Noldor.
Beleg Elf of Doriath, a great archer, called Cúthalion, ‘Strongbow’; close companion and friend of Túrin Turambar, by whom he was tragically slain. Belegost One of the two great cities of the Dwarves in the Blue Mountains. Beleriand (earlier name Broseliand) The great region of Middle-earth, largely drowned and destroyed at the end of the First Age, extending from the Blue Mountains in the East to the Mountains of Shadow in the North (See Iron Mountains) and the western coasts. Bëor Leader of the first Men to enter Beleriand. See Edain. Bitter Hills See Iron Mountains. Blessed Realm Blue Mountains See Aman. The great range forming the eastern bounds of Beleriand. Boldog Bregolas A captain of Orcs. Brother of Barahir. Burning Briar The constellation of the Great Bear. Calacirya Carcharoth Celegorm A pass in the Mountains of Valinor in which was the city of the Elves. See Karkaras. Son of Fëanor, called ‘the Fair’. Cranthir Son of Fëanor, called ‘the Dark’. i-Cuilwarthon ‘The Dead that Live Again’, Beren and Lúthien after their return from Mandos; Cuilwarthien: The land where they dwelt. (Later form Guilwarthon.) Cuiviénen The Water of Awakening: the lake in Middle-earth where the Elves awoke. Cûm-nan-Arasaith The Mound of Avarice, raised over the slain in Menegroth. Curufin Dagmor Dairon Son of Fëanor, called ‘the Crafty’. Beren’s sword. A minstrel of Artanor, numbered among ‘the three most magic players of the Elves’; originally the brother of Lúthien. Damrod and Díriel Deadly Nightshade The youngest sons of Fëanor. (Later names Amrod and Amras.) A translation of Taur-na-Fuin; See Mountains of Night. Dior Son of Beren and Lúthien; father of Elwing, the mother of Elrond and Elros. Doriath The later name of Artanor, the great forested region ruled by Thingol (Tinwelint) and Melian (Gwendeling). Dor-lómin See Hisilómë. Dor-na-Fauglith The great grassy plain of Ard-galen north of the Mountains of Night (Dorthonion) that was transformed into a desert (See Anfauglith, The Thirsty Plain). Dorthonion ‘Land of Pines’; vast region of pinewoods on the northern borders of Beleriand; afterwards called Taur-na-Fuin, ‘the Forest under Night’.
