In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fictional universe, Finrod Felagund was a Ñoldorin Elf, the eldest son of Finarfin and Eärwen of Alqualondë in Aman. He was the brother of Galadriel, Angrod and Aegnor.
Finrod founded the original Minas Tirith in the Pass of Sirion, and was later King of Nargothrond.
While hunting in the lands of Thargelion in East Beleriand Finrod was first of the Ñoldor to come across MenThe race of Men in J. Tolkien's Middle-earth books, such as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings refers to humanity and does not denote gender. They are distinct from the various humanoid races, though some, like hobbits, are probably human in origin, and, and he long stayed with them, learning their language ( TaliskaMiddle-earth languages In the fiction of J. Tolkien, Taliska was the language spoken by the Beorian (First) and Hadorian (Third) Houses of the Atanatari, who spoke different dialects. The Second House of Men spoke an unrelated language, the Haladin tongue) and teaching them SindarinSindarin is an artificial language (or conlang) developed by J. In Tolkien's mythos, it was the Elvish language most commonly spoken in Middle-earth. It was the language of the Sindar, those Teleri which had been left behind on the Great Journey of the El. He also intervened on behalf of the Laiquendi of OssiriandTolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Ossiriand was a region of eastern Beleriand. Ossiriand, or Land of Seven Rivers was the most eastern region of Beleriand during the First Age, lying between the Ered Luin and the river Gelion. The Seven Rivers, who feared Men would destroy their home, and he got permission of ThingolElu Thingol is the King of Doriath and High King of the Sindar, a fictional character of Middle-earth, created by J. More accurately Thingol was the Sindarin form of the surname of one of the kings of the Teleri. The Quenya form of the same name is Elwe S, who held rule over all BeleriandIn the fiction of J. Tolkien, Beleriand was the region of northwestern Middle-earth during the First Age. Originally, the name belonged only to the area around the Bay of Balar, but in time the name was applied to the entire land. The element Beler ''Bala, to guide the Men to Estolad.
Finrod had a close friendship with Andreth of the House of Bëor, whom he often visited during the Siege of Angband to converse with her on the matters of Elves and Men. One such conversation was written down and later known as " Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth".
Barahir of the House of Bëor saved Felagund's life at the Dagor Bragollach, and Finrod gave him his ring, which became known as the Ring of Barahir. When, years later, Barahir's son Beren came to Nargothrond seeking help, Finrod went with him on the Quest of the Silmaril to repay his debt. Celegorm and Curufin, who were living in Nargothrond at the time, persuaded (using barely veiled threats related to their oath) most of Nargothrond to stay behind; only ten warriors, headed by one Edrahil , were faithful and came with them. The twelve were captured and imprisoned by Sauron on Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves), where they were killed one by one by wolves (Sauron had not been able to discover who exactly they were and was hoping to make them talk) until only Finrod and Beren were left; finally, Finrod saved Beren's life, but lost his own in doing so.The name Finrod is a Sindarin form of his Telerin ( Quenya) name Findaráto Ingoldo, with the approximate meaning 'Mighty descendant of Finwë'. Felagund was an epessë given to him by the Dwarves that expanded the caves of Nargothrond, and meant "Hewer of Caves". It is not Sindarin, but rather Sindarized Khuzdul. Another name given to Finrod was Nóm (Wisdom). It was given to him by Bëor and his followers. His other titles include: King of Nargothrond, Lord of Nargothrond, Friend-of-Men.
Finrod loved Amarië, a Vanyarin Elf who didn't follow him to Middle-earth. She and Finrod were betrothed, and Finrod never married while in Middle-earth. It is noted in the Lay of Leithian that Finrod was soon allowed to return to life in Valinor, and "now dwells with Amarië", so they probably were wed later.
