Changes: Argon

Revision as of 11:26, 23 April 2014

Much of this article relates to the final versions of Middle-earth's history, and as such may contain discrepancies with The Silmarillion. See LOTR:Canon for a discussion. This subject's portrayal in earlier or alternative versions is discussed in the Earlier versions of the legendarium section.

Argon was the fourth child of Fingolfin, the High King of the Ñoldor in Beleriand in Middle-earth.

Biography

Argon was probably born in Tirion and his mother was Anairë, and his brothers were Fingon, and Turgon. He had an older sister, Aredhel. Argon set foot on Middle-earth with his father and brothers, but he was killed during the Battle of Lammoth.

Etymology

Arakáno thus never received a true Sindarin name, but Argon was later devised for him in the records. It is recorded that this later became a popular name under the Eldar. His Quenya name was Arakáno ("High Commander"), named so partially for his character.
