House of Hador

Heraldic device of the House of Hador

The House of Hador, formerly known as the House of Marach, was the Third House of the Edain of the First Age.

History[]

The house descended from the Greater Folk that dwelt in the woods near the north-eastern shores of the Sea of Rhûn. There they became able to craft boats and started to sail the sea, eventually discovering their kin of Lesser Folk dwelling in the hills near the south-western shores. However, because their tongues had already diverged from their original common tongue they didn't meet or exchange tidings often.[1][2] During the migration westward some of the Greater Folks established themselves in Rhovanion, becoming the ancestors of the Northmen.[3][4]

In Beleriand the house was initially named after its first leader Marach, under which they were a war-like tribe, united in speech and manners to the First House of the Edain, the House of Bëor, and they settled in Estolad not long after the Bëorians and the Second House, the Haladin, had settled there. They remained longest there, until they were given the land of Dor-lómin as a fief under Hador Lórindol, a descendant of Marach who gave to his House its second name.

They were the largest in number of the Three Houses of the Edain, and many heroes of the First Age belonged to it.

Malach Aradan, Hador Lórindol, Adanel, Húrin Thalion, Túrin Turambar, Huor and Tuor were all descended from this House, as were Eärendil the Mariner and his sons Elrond and Elros. Thus, all the kings and queens of later Númenor were descended from the House of Hador.

Most surviving Edain after the War of Wrath were members of this House, and as such they made up most of the people of Númenor.

Physical traits[]

The Men of the House of Hador typically had blonde hair and blue eyes, and were some of the tallest folk in Beleriand, save for the Ñoldor and many of the Sindar Elves.
