Borlad was one of the sons of Bór, and apparently the eldest, who entered Beleriand late in the First Age. He fought in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and was faithful to the Noldor, taking a part in the slaying of Ulfang's sons before he was himself slain.

Etymology

It has been suggested that Borlad means "Plain of the Hand" in Sindarin.[1]

Other versions of the Legendarium

In early versions of the legendarium, he was called Borlas[2] (a name later used for Borlas of Pen-arduin).
