Well.. I am veryn curious to know if any of you have you heard/read or even interested in the silvan elf Nimrodel? It seem's as though that many of JRR Tolkien's greatest characters have gone unnoticed.. well I'm not getting at any of the main characters, I mean I adore Theoden, Eowyn and Gandalf.. its just that *cries* Hardly anyone's heard of her, and she's one of my all time favorite's.. *sniffle* Just curious anyways  |

No I haven't heard of her. Is she in the Silmaril?

I've heard of her. I think her tale is in Unfinished Tales, The History of Galadriel and Celeborn  I too wish that lesser-known characters would be noticed by the hordes of swooning Orlando lovers. To be honest, I like some of the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales characters more than people in the Fellowship, and I have a soft spot for Goldberry (as you may be able to tell by my splash page layout on the main site.) |

Yesssss!!! *dances* You got it right Simbelmyne! Nimrodel's lore was in the Unfinished Tales, connected with Amroth, her lover. That is why Cerin Amroth's original lovers were not Aragorn and Arwen, but Nimrodel and Amroth! Also, in the book of the Fellowship of the Ring, when the fellowship had entered into Lothlorien, they rested by the stream of the Nimrodel, and Legolas shared with the others the Song of Nimrodel. That is what caught my attention I absolutely adore the Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales, I am completely fascinated with the Moriquendi (dark elves) and the Maiar, because they are not explained thoroughly and in detail by Tolkien. God, I get into a subject I'm really passionate about and I can't shut up  lmao |

I remember the song! It's one of my favorites. I haven't read UT, though.

I remember the song, too, and I can remeber it caught my attention, too, it's so beautiful . But I have never had a chance to read the Unfinished Tales, it has never been translated into Finnish! Grr  ...and I'm afraid my English is not good enough for an original version.  |

I think I've heard of her. I haven't read the UT, but I want to. I know I learned somewhere that Arwen was the third elf to marry a man...but I can't remember where.  edit: I remember now! I believe it was in the Sil somewhere...maybe in the in The Tale of Beren and Luthien...? |
