This is actually the one thing which could convince me to read The Silmarillion

The House of Bëor

"The Silmarillion" - J.R.R. Tolkien

[hisphantomgiver]

Not the Tolkien Silmarillion fans saying Fingolfin's death is the main reason the fronts resisted during the Bragollach and what brought the salvation to Middle-earth as it encouraged Beren to go on his quest to regain the Silmarils. Are you guys really becoming this delusional? I would definitely be encouraged by the heroic deaths of Agenor + Angrod and Bregolas than whatever the fuck this reckless and emotionally driven king abandoning his people in their time of need did.

Bregolas by peet

'The son of Boromir was Bregor, whose sons were Bregolas and Barahir ...' J.R.R. Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chapter 17: Of the Coming of Men into the West

'In the time that followed Túrin grew high in favour with Orodreth, and well-nigh all hearts were turned to him in Nargothrond. For he was young, and only now reached his full manhood; and he was in truth the son of Morwen Eledhwen to look upon: dark-haired and pale-skinned, with grey eyes, and his face more beautiful than any other among mortal Men, in the Elder Days. His speech and bearing were that of the ancient kingdom of Doriath, and even among the Elves he might be taken for one from the great houses of the Noldor; therefore many called him Adanedhel, the Elf-Man.' JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chaper 21: Of Túrin Turambar

Cirdan, Lord of the Falathrimby peet

'Some [Ossë] persuaded to remain; and those were the Falathrim, the Elves of the Falas, who in after days had dwellings at the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest, the first mariners in Middle-earth and the first makers of ships. Círdan the Shipwright was their lord.'

JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chapter 5: Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië

Hurin of the Keys by peet

'Is there no deed to do?' she said. 'Who commands in this City?' 'I do not rightly know,' he answered. 'Such things are not my care. There is a marshal over the Riders of Rohan; and the Lord Húrin, I am told, commands the men of Gondor. But the Lord Faramir is by right the Steward of the City.'

JRR Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Book VI,  Chapter 5: The Steward and the King

Olorin by peet

'Wisest of the Maiar was Olórin. He too dwelt in Lórien, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience. Of Melian much is told in the Quenta Silmarillion. But of Olórin that tale does not speak; for though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts. In later days he was the friend of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away the imaginations of darkness.' JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: VALAQUENTA: Account of the Valar and Maiar according to the lore of the Eldar

Nerdanel the Wise by peet

'While still in his early youth he wedded Nerdanel, the daughter of a great smith named Mahtan, among those of the Noldor most dear to Aulë; and of Mahtan he learned much of the making of things in metal and in stone. Nerdanel also was firm of will, but more patient than Fëanor, desiring to understand minds rather than to master them, and at first she restrained him when the fire of his heart grew too hot; but his later deeds grieved her, and they became estranged.'

JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chapter 6: Of Fëanor and the Unchaining of Melkor

Feanor's Betrayal at Losgar by peet

‘Then Fëanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: ‘None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!’ JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: Chapter 9: Of the Flight of the Noldor

Lord Denethor by peet

'Hail, Lord and Steward of Minas Tirith, Denethor son of Ecthelion! I am come with counsel and tidings in this dark hour.'Then the old man looked up. Pippin saw his carven face with its proud bones and skin like ivory, and the long curved nose between the dark deep eyes; and he was reminded not so much of Boromir as of Aragorn. 'Dark indeed is the hour,' said the old man, 'and at such times you are wont to come, Mithrandir. But though all the signs forebode that the doom of Gondor is drawing nigh, less now to me is that darkness than my own darkness.'

JRR Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Book V, Chapter 1: Minas Tirith

Queen Beruthiel by peet

''Do not be afraid!' said Aragorn. There was a pause longer than usual, and Gandalf and Gimli were whispering together; the others were crowded behind, waiting anxiously. 'Do not be afraid! I have been with him on many a journey, if never on one so dark; and there are tales of Rivendell of greater deeds of his than any that I have seen. He will not go astray - if there is any path to find. He has led us in here against our fears, but he will lead us out again, at whatever cost to himself. He is surer of finding the way home in a blind night than the cats of Queen Berúthiel.'' JRR Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Book II, Chapter 4: A Journey in the Dark

Isildur Healed by peet

'But Isildur came at last hardly back to Rómenna and delivered the fruit to the hands of Amandil, ere his strength failed him. Then the fruit was planted in secret, and it was blessed by Amandil; and a shoot arose from it and sprouted in the spring. But when its first leaf opened then Isildur, who had lain long and come near to death, arose and was troubled no more by his wounds.' JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion: AKALLEBÊTH: The Downfall of Númenór

          Bregolas was the third child and eldest son of Bregor, and the third Lord of Ladros. He ruled the House of Bëor in the last years of the Long Peace, in a time where his liege-lords Angrod and Aegnor were the only defenders of Beleriand who worried that the Siege of Angband may break. As a result, their vassal Bregolas was more prepared than many others when the Sudden Flame descended upon Dorthonion, and arranged for his younger brother Barahir to remain in reserve while he himself marched to war alongside the elves. This grim foresight proved fortuitous, for Bregolas was indeed slain in that first battle, leaving the leadership of his people to Barahir.           Ever at Bregolas’ side was his spouse Rónil, a fearsome warrior who fought like the lion for which they were named. Though both Bregolas and Rónil perished in the Dagor Bragollach, their three children survived, each vowing to carry on the legacy of their parents. The brothers Baragund and Belegund remained in Ladros fighting the Enemy alongside their uncle Barahir, while their elder sister Beleth escaped with her wife Narweth to Dor-lómin, protecting her brothers’ offspring and her own unborn child. Thanks to Beleth, her nieces Morwen and Rían survived the breaking of the Siege; her own line would extend to Númenor, where her descendant Beregar fathered Erendis, the wife of Tar-Aldarion.

Tuba Buyugusdun as Beleth of the House of Beor

Beleth was the first child and only daughter of Bregolas. She had two younger brothers called Baragund and Belegund. She is only mentioned in a footnote of the Unfinished Tales as the ancestor of Erendis.

          Bregor was the eldest child and only son of Boromir, and the second Lord of Ladros. He was a great hunter and battle-archer, bearing a mighty bow that survived to become an heirloom of his House in Númenor. He ruled his people peacefully, advised by his youngest sister Beril and his quick-witted wife Díneloth, and from time to time his other sister Andreth Saelind, who spent much of her time alone but imparted great wisdom on the occasions that she walked among her people.           Díneloth bore Bregor five children: Bregil, whose own quiet love story resolved much happier than that of her aunt Andreth’s; Hirwen, a gardener who beautified the house of her father; Bregolas, his father’s heir and a mighty warrior; Gilwen, who mapped the stars and helped her brothers navigate on their many journeys; and Barahir, a valiant man who survived the fall of his House and fathered the famed hero Beren Erchamion.
