Elenwë


Elenwë is a fictional character belonging to the legendarium created by the British writer JRR Tolkien and appears briefly in his posthumous novel The Silmarillion, although more details are also given in the collection of The History of Middle Earth, published by Christopher Tolkien. She is an elf of the line Vanyar, daughter of Alanwë and wife of Turgon, with whom she had a single daughter called Idril.

After Fëanor's rebellion, the Noldor decided to accompany him and although Turgon did not pronounce the Oath, his heart was keenly to go to larger lands, so he decided to follow his father and the rest of his people and cross the narrow ice cream of the Helcaraxë. Elenwë and Idril accompanied him, but during the voyage the ice broke and they both fell into the cold waters. Turgon tried to save them and although it was about to die also, managed to save to his daughter, not thus to Elenwë, that perished. Bibliography
