Celegorm was the third son of Fëanor and Nerdanel,[1] and a constant companion of his younger brother, Curufin.
History
Born in Valinor, Celegorm was a great huntsman, and was a friend of the Vala Oromë. From Oromë he learned great skill of birds and beasts, and could understand a number of their languages.[1] He was given by the Vala the great hound Huan.[2]
As with the other Sons of Fëanor, Celegorm was bound by his father's Oath to recover the Silmarils, which had been stolen by the Dark Lord Morgoth.[3] This oath caused him and his brothers to follow Fëanor back to Middle-earth, taking Huan with him. Upon arrival, and before the rising of the Moon, Celegorm was the one who heard news of Orcs descending through the Vale of Sirion to attack Círdan in the Havens of the Falas. Celegorm led part of the Elven-host that fell upon the Orcs near the Eithel Sirion and drove them into the Fen of Serech.[4]
Celegorm dwelt with his brother Curufin in Himlad and fortified Aglon, a pass that led northeast into Lothlann.[5] However, in the Battle of Aglon Pass during the Dagor Bragollach in F.A. 455, the two brothers were defeated and had to flee with their people[6] to Nargothrond, where their cousin Finrod Felagund welcomed them.[7]
In 465,[8] while he and his brother Curufin lived in Nargothrond, they almost took it over at the departure of Finrod Felagund. They captured Lúthien Tinúviel, daughter of King Thingol of Doriath. Celegorm wished to marry her, thus forcing a bond of kinship with Thingol. Huan, however, broke with his master and helped Lúthien escape. He was expelled from Nargothrond with his brother at the order of Orodreth.[2]
Because of the deeds of Celegorm and Curufin, in 468, Orodreth refused to join the Union of Maedhros[9] before the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.[10]
Celegorm fell in the Second Kinslaying in 506,[11] when the Sons of Fëanor attacked Doriath to seize a Silmaril in the possession of the Elven King Dior Eluchíl. Dior slew Celegorm in the halls of Menegroth.[12]
Etymology
Celegorm is not glossed, but being the Sindarized version of the Quenya name Tyelkormo, it would mean "Hasty-riser".[13] It is actually North Sindarin, as it keeps the final m.[14]
In the Noldorin phase of the name, it was rendered as Celegorn, presumably meaning "Swift-impetuous".[15]
Other names
Celegorm's father-name was Turcafinwë ("Strong, powerful(in body) Finwë"), being Turko the short form.[13]
His mother-name was Tyelkormo ("Hasty-riser"), a reference to his quick temper and his habit of leaping up when angered. Tyelka is Quenya for "hasty".[13] An earlier form of the Quenya version of Celegorm was Celecormë, related with Oromë.[16]
