“...and they were three mariners who had sailed all the seas besides him [Eärendil]: Falathar, Erellont, and Aerandir were their names. And Eärendil said to them: 'Here none but myself shall set foot, lest you fall under the wrath of the Valar. But that peril I will take on myself alone, for the sake of the Two Kindreds.”
-The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien
