The hound and wolf eventually killed each other but Beren was badly wounded in the struggle. Thingos allowed Beren to marry his daughter because he saw that even when Beren did not succeed with his task, he was of outstanding bravery.īeren wanted to complete his quest, so he went on with the hound to find Carcharoth to kill it and take the Silmarils. Luthien helped him cure his wound, and they were saved finally by the Eagles that took them back to Doriath. Carcharoth had swallowed Beren's hand and the Silmarils held in it. They were able to take the Silmarils but would have to pass the Great Wolf Carcharoth, they did escape but at the cost of Beren’s hand cut. Luthien used her power to help herself and Beren transform into a bat and a wolf respectively, and they infiltrated Morgoth’s fortress in this form. She was captured by the two sons of Feanor but was guided by the hound of Valinor, Huan to her safety.

Luthien followed him secretly against her father’s desire. Beren accepted the challenge and headed for Morgor’s fortress. He must take Silmarils from the diadem of the evil Morgoth, and take it to Thingol successfully. He requested Beren, a request that is almost impossible to achieve for even the most audacious of men and Elves as her bridewealth. Thingol, as expected, was desperate to prevent this unlikely union with his daughter. Beren was a man that could be slain in a single stroke of a blade, and Lúthien was an immortal, the only daughter of Thingol, the mighty Eldar King of Beleriand, and Melian, a supernatural Maia of Ainur. It seemed impossible that anything would truly occur between them at first because they had a completely different past and their future should normally never have crossed. Edainīeren was a mortal, although he was an accomplished fighter from the Royal House of Bëor of Dorthonion, he met her in the forest. But he was lucky as she returned the love unlike she did for every other person. He lost his head over her and just like everyone that did. Beren watched her, and her beauty bewitched him from his consciousness. She loved to dance out in the forest, and one day she danced and it changed her life forever. The tales of her beauty are unending for her skin sparkled, her hairs of the darkest nights, and her eyes melt every heart that fell upon it. A maiden of exceptional beauty, her voice was so lovely that a person once said of her voice that it could unshackle the winter from its bondage and cause the water therein to speak of its mind, and flowers sprout from the freezing earth wherever her feet blessed. Tinuviel became one of those who perfected their nature. They live almost all their lives in a condition of perfect purity and Bliss. The Elves of Atanor (Doriath’s name before Thingol’s reign) are known for their grace. Luthien was the beautiful daughter from the union of the Elf King Elu Thingol of New Artanor and his Maia Wife Melian.
