EspañolDAUGHTERS OF FINWë
(Redirected from Irimë)
'Findis' and 'Irimë' are fictional characters from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. They were Elves, daughters of Finwë, king of the Noldor and Indis; sisters of Fingolfin and Finarfin and half-sisters of Fëanor. Findis was the first child of Finwë and Indis, and Irimë was the third one. Little is known about them except that Findis was "more like her mother" and that she stayed with Indis and Finarfin in Valinor, while Irimë went to Middle-earth with Fingolfin. Findis is a combination of her parents' names. Irimë's mother-name was 'Lalwendë' or in shortened form 'Lalwen', and by this name she was generally known.
Irimë may have been the mother of Aranwë, who was in turn the father of Voronwë. The privileged positions of Glorfindel, Ecthelion of the Fountain and Egalmoth in Gondolin may mean that they were of high birth, and so at least one may be the child of either Irimë or Findis.
Findis apparently still dwells in Aman. Irimë's fate is unknown, but she may have been slain or returned to Valinor after the War of Wrath. Neither appear in the published ''Silmarillion''.
In earlier versions of the legendarium, Finwë and Indis had three daughters — 'Findis', 'Faniel' and 'Finvain'. It remains unclear if the third daughter survived in the final conception of Finwë's family tree. Furthermore, in some texts Irimë's name is instead given as 'Írien'.
