Finduilas lived in Nargothrond with her father Orodreth and brother Gil-galad under the rule of Finrod Felagund. She was betrothed to Gwindor, who named her Faelivrin, which meant 'Gleam of the Sun in the pools of Ivrin'. She was very beautiful, a high princess of the Ñoldor and niece of Galadriel.
Her betrothed was captured in 472 of the First Age during the Battle of Unnumbered Tears by Morgoth, but he returned in 490 with a companion who called himself Agarwaen son of Umarth (the Bloodstained, son of the Cursed). Unknown to Finduilas this was actually Túrin son of Húrin.
Despite her old feelings for Gwindor, Finduilas fell in love with Túrin, but Túrin refused her in respect for his friend. Gwindor realized this, and revealed Túrin's name to Finduilas, and tried to let Túrin fall in love with Finduilas, since he realized Finduilas loved Túrin.
At the sack of Nargothrond by Glaurung Gwindor was slain and Túrin was entranced by the dragon, and he could not hear Finduilas' cries as she was being dragged past him by the OrcOrc or Ork an Old English word ('orc-neas' from Beowulf) for the zombie-like monsters of Grendel's race was revived by J.

Hithlum was separated from Beleriand proper by the Ered Wethrin mountain chain, and was named after the sea mists which formed there at times: Hithl in search for his kin, and by the time he finally went after her she had been killed: when the Orcs were waylaid by the Haladin of BrethilTolkien's The Silmarillion the Forest of Brethil was a cluster of woods bordering Dorthonion, which was probably originally part of Doriath. It was to Brethil that the House of Haleth removed after dwelling east of the river Gelion.

It rose in the Ered Wethrin and flowed southeast through Brethil to join Sirion on the borders of Doriath.

The Haladin buried her in a mound they called Haudh-en-Elleth, Mound of the Elf-maiden.
