History
Edit
Eluréd and Elurín were both named after their great-grandfather Elu Thingol, the King of Doriath. They had a younger sister Elwing.
The boys Eluréd and Elurín lived with their father in Menegroth, but during the Second Kinslaying by the Sons of Fëanor they were seized by the cruel servants of Celegorm and abandoned in the forest to die. Maedhros the eldest repented of the deed and sought in vain for them in the surrounding forest with no success.
According to The Silmarillion these children were never found, and were presumed to have perished in the forest. Tradition among the Nandor of Ossiriand held that they were led to the safety of the woodlands by birds and beasts, and survived.
EtymologyEdit
Their names are Sindarin for "Heir of Elu" and "Remembrance of Elu", respectively.
