Eluréd and Elurín
From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.
Eluréd and Elurín were the sons of Dior Eluchîl, son of Beren and Lúthien, and Dior's elven wife, Nimloth.
Eluréd and Elurín were both named after their great-grandfather Elu Thingol, King of Doriath. Their names are Sindarin for "Heir of Elu" and "Remembrance of Elu", respectively. They had a younger sister Elwing.
The infants Eluréd and Elurín lived with their father in Menegroth, but during the Sack of Menegroth by the Sons of Fëanor they were seized by servants of Celegorm and abandoned in the forest to die. Maedhros the eldest repented of the deed and sought in vain for them.
According to The Silmarillion the 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.
