“Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor.”
The White Lady of the Noldor
Aredhel, also called Ar-Feiniel, was the third child and only daughter of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, and Anairë. She was described as being tall, strong, fearless, and hearty of heart. Her skin was pale and her hair dark. Silver and white were her colors of choice. When she was traveling to visit her eldest brother Fingon, Aredhel became lost and dwelt in Himlad with the people of Celegorm who welcomed her while she waited for Celegorm to return.
While waiting for Celegorm, Aredhel took trips into the dark forest of Nan Elmoth. In the forest dwelt the dark elf, Eöl. He became enchanted by Aredhel’s beauty and wove a spell which caused her to become hopelessly lost and wander ever closer to his home. Eöl revealed himself when she arrived, and welcomed her to his house. They married and had a son named Maeglin.
