Character

Daeron was a Sindarin elf of Doriath and King Thingol's loremaster and minstrel. Because of his love for Lúthien he was jealous of Beren, and was a key figure in the betrayal of their love to Thingol.

[edit] History

Daeron was born in Middle-earth at some undetermined time. Following the folk of Elwë, he became an important elf close to King Thingol serving as his loremaster and minstrel. He invented the Cirth which would become an important writing form. He loved Lúthien more than anything devising music in her honor and often played it while she danced. Twenty years after the Return of the Ñoldor, he attended the Mereth Aderthad with his kinsman Mablung bearing gifts and greetings to the Noldor from the king. Hundreds of years later when Beren came to Doriath, his jealously of their love for each other caused him to spy on them both and report what he saw and heard to Thingol. Later, when she learned that Sauron had imprisoned Beren, she sought his counsel but he betrayed her to the king causing her to be imprisoned in Hírilorn. After she had escaped and went away to find Beren and was feared to be lost, Daeron left Doriath to search for her in vain and lost his way somewhere in the far East, where he dwelt in dark places lamenting his love for Lúthien. His fate afterwards is not known.^[1] & ^[2]

[edit] Characteristics

Daeron was a brilliant loremaster and had the fairest voice in Middle-earth next to Maglor.

[edit] Legacy

His invention of the Cirth provided an alphabet of runes which the dwarves adopted in their writings and spread throughout Middle-earth, passing them down from age to age.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

Dairon was an earlier form of his name.^[3]
