'''Celegorm''' is a ] in ]'s ] ], appearing in '']''. |
|
|
|
|
|
He was the third son of ] and ], most closely associated with another brother, ]. Celegorm is described as "the fair," which could mean either that Celegorm had fairer hair than most ], or that he had a strong sense of justice. The hair-theory is a theory largely based in '']'', as Tolkien describes the ] as almost universally having dark hair. |
|
|
|
|
|
His name ''Celegorm'' (in ] form; originally ''Tyelkormo'' in ]) meant "Hasty-riser", describing his quick temper, as well as his habit of leaping up when angered. His father-name in Quenya was '''''Turkafinwë''''', or "Strong Finwë". ("Finwë" was a common name-element among his House, being the name of his grandfather ], High King of the ].) |
|
|
|
|
|
Celegorm was a great huntsman, and was a friend of the ] ]. From Oromë he learned great skill of birds and beasts, and could understand a number of their languages. He had brought with him from ] the great hound ], a gift from Oromë. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ''The Silmarillion'', Celegorm was bound by an ] to recover his father's ], which had been stolen by the Dark Lord ]. His oath took him and his brothers to Middle-earth during the ] where they established realms in exile, waged war against the armies of Morgoth, fought their own Elvish kind, and eventually brought ruin upon themselves and their followers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Celegorm had taken part in the ] in Alqualondë, and he had ambushed the ] armies in ] as they marched north from the havens of ] to aid the forces already being decimated by the Noldor. Celegorm, along with all his brothers, followed ] to ] after the council of ], where upon the abdication of Maedhros ] became the high king of all Noldor. Celegorm, his brother Curufin, and nephew ] settled in ], and fortified the ]. Orcs tried to breach the pass, but were beaten back by the combined forces of ] and ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ], the great battle at the end of the book, the pass was breached despite fierce resistance. Celegorm, Curufin and Celebrimbor, with the survivors of Himlad, marched west towards ]. They rescued their friend ] from ]'s assault at ]. Although Minas Tirith ultimately fell to the forces of ], Orodreth, Celegorm, Curufin and Celebrimbor escaped the battle with a small following. |
|
|
|
|
|
Celegorm and Curufin lived in ], aiding ] in all events and needs of the kingdom, and won a large following because of their activities. The oath and the curse of the Valar poisoned their minds after ] sought Finrod's help in recovering a Silmaril. They opposed Finrod's mission, and their words caused the people to turn against their cousin. |
|
|
|
|
|
They captured ] Tinúviel, daughter of King ] of ]. Celegorm wished to marry her, thus forcing a bond of kinship with Thingol. Celegorm sent messages declaring his intentions to Thingol. Huan, however, broke with his master and helped Lúthien escape. Celegorm and Curufin were driven from Nargothrond after their deeds were revealed. They vowed to destroy Thingol after he had scornfully denied to give up the Silmaril. Their deeds are also responsible for ] and ] not joining the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Celegorm fell in the Second Kinslaying, when the ] attacked Doriath to seize a Silmaril in the possession of the Elvish King ] the Beautiful of Doriath. Celegorm had been instrumental in stirring up his other brothers and causing them to assault Doriath. Dior and Celegorm slew each other in the halls of ]. |
