Then Finwë heard that song falling from above, and he looked up and saw Indis in the golden light, and he knew in that moment that she loved him and had long done so. Then his heart turned at last to her; and he believed that this chance, as it seemed, had been granted for the comfort of them both.In one year from their meeting, in the year {{YT|1185}}, upon the Mountain Finwë, [[King of the Noldor]], wedded Indis, sister of Ingwë; and Finwë loved her dearly, and was glad again; and she bore him four children; yet the shadow of [[Míriel]] did not depart from the [[House of Finwë]], nor from his heart; and of all whom he loved [[Fëanor]] had ever the chief share of his thought.<ref>{{MR|P3II4}}</ref>The Vanyar and the [[Noldor]] for the most part rejoiced, except Fëanor. Though the Vanyar used ''Þ'' in the place of ''s'', Indis adopted the change in the speech of the Noldor, along with Finwë, which was one of the many causes of the bitterness of Fëanor towards Indis and her children.<ref>{{PM|Shibboleth}}</ref>=== The Death of Finwë ===In {{YT|1495}}, after the slaying of her husband, Indis, along with her eldest daughter Findis, returned to [[Valinor]] to live among her people, the Vanyar.== Genealogy =={{familytree/start}}{{familytree | | | | | | | | | | | |,|-|-|-|.| | | | | |}}{{familytree | | | | | | | UNF |y| UNK | | ING | | | | |ING=[[Ingwë]]</br><small>''b. {{YT}}''</small>|UNK=''unknown<br/>mother''|UNF=''unknown<br/>father''}}{{familytree | | | | | | | | | |!| | | |,|-|^|-|.| | | |}}{{familytree | MÍR |y| FIN |y| IND | | INW | | CHI | | |FIN=[[Finwë]]</br><small>''d. {{YT|1495}}''</small>|IND='''INDIS'''<br/><small>''b. {{YT}}''</small>|MÍR=[[Míriel]]</br><small>''d. {{YT|1170}}''</small>|CHI=''unknown<br/>children''|INW=[[Ingwion]]<br/><small>''b. {{YT}}''</small>}}{{familytree | | | |!| | | |)|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|v|-|-|-|.| |}}{{familytree | | | FËA | | FND | | FNG | | IRI | | FNR |FËA=[[Fëanor]]</br><small>''{{YT|1169}} - {{YT|1497|n}}''</small>|FND=[[Findis]]<br/><small>''b. {{YT}}''</small>|FNG=[[Fingolfin]]</br><small>''{{YT|1190}} - {{FA|456}}''</small>|IRI=[[Írimë]]<br/><small>''b. {{YT}}''</small>|FNR=[[Finarfin]]</br><small>''b. {{YT|1230}}''</small>}}{{familyt==Etymology==ree/end}}'''''Indis''''' is also [[Quenya]] for "wife; bride".{{references}}[[Category:Characters in The Silmarillion]][[Category:First Age characters]][[Category:Quenya names]][[Category:Quenya nouns]][[Category:Vanyar]][[de:Indis]][[fr:/encyclo/personnages/elfes/vanyar/indis]][[fi:Indis]]
