Journey of the Infinite Wizard

It was not long before Finrod was able to talk with Beor, as their language had learned much of the words of the Elves; and the two had often talked together while he dwelt among them. But when Finrod asked Beor about the origin of Men and their journey, Beor said little; for he knew little, too, and the ancestors of his people seldom spoke of their past, but always A silence fell upon their memory. "There's a darkness behind us," Bio said. "We have to turn our backs on it. We don't want to go back there. We don't want to even think about it. Our hearts are turned to the West, and we believe there will be There the light is found."

But then there was a legend among the Eldar that, when the sun first rose and Men awoke in Hildorion, the spies of Morgoth discovered it, and the news soon came to him, It's a big deal for him.

So he left Angband stealthily in the shadows, handed over the war to Sauron, and came to Middle-earth himself. What intercourse he had with Men, the Eldar knew nothing in fact, neither then nor afterward; but they could see clearly that there was a darkness in the hearts of Men (as in the hearts of the Noldor lay the murder of their kinsmen) the shadow of Mandos and Jiang Ning), even the first humans they met who became the friends of the elves.

Morgoth's greatest desire was to corrupt or destroy all that was new and good; and no doubt this purpose was included in his task--to make men enemies of the Eldar through fear and lies, They were brought from the east to deal with Beleriand (Beleriand).

But this plan of his matured slowly, and was never quite successful; for the Men (it is said) were at first very few, and Morgoth feared the unity and growth of the Eldar, and he hastened back to Angband , leaving only a few servants to live among men, and they were not so powerful and cunning as he.

Finrod learned from Beor that many other Men of like mind were also coming westward. "There are other people of my race who have crossed the mountains," he said. Wait and see before you act. There are other human beings whose speech is more like ours, and we have dealt with them several times. They were ahead of us, but we surpassed them; because of their numbers, they always Moving together, advancing slowly, their chief is called Marikh." (Haladin, the second family of the Eden, led at first by Haldad, and later by his daughter Haresh.) (Human Name, Quenya Atani, Sindarin Eden.) (Marihe, the third family of Eden, later became the most powerful one, led by Marihe at first, and later by his The descendants of Hado led this family, which was later the famous Ma Ruihe family, which can also be called the Hado family.)

However, the green elves living in Ossiriand were very distressed by the groups of humans who moved in. When they heard that there were a group of Eldar kings coming across the sea, they sent envoys to Finrod He poured out bitter water wantonly. They want Finrod to persuade humans to leave the west and go back and forth, because humans cut down trees and hunt animals, which made the green elves very dissatisfied.

And let's say that if humans don't go, then they will make human life more miserable.

Then, at Finrod's suggestion, Beor gathered all the families and peoples who migrated with him, and they crossed the Gillian River, on the east bank of the Kron, south of the Vale of Elmoth Forest, near Doriath. and dwelt in the land of Anrod and Andreth on the frontier; that region was henceforth called Istorald, "the place of encampment." When a year passed, Finrod desired to return to his homeland, and Beor begged to go with him; and he spent the rest of his life at the king's side of Nargothrond. Because of this, he got the name Beo. Before that, his original name was Balan; in the language of his people, "Beo" means "retainer". He handed over the responsibility of ruling the people to his eldest son, Balaam, and never returned to Estolad since then.

Not long after Finrod's departure, another group of Men of Beor's mention came to Beleriand. First came the Haladins, but after encountering the unfriendly Green Elves they turned to the North, and settled in Shagari, under the rule of Karanthir son of Fernor; there they dwelt For some time the people of Caranthir paid no attention to them. Another year later, Ma Ruihe led his people across the mountains; they were a group of tall, warrior-like people, they marched in an orderly procession, and the elves of Ossiriand did not dare to stop them, so they had to hide themselves. stand up. But Marech, hearing that the people of Beor dwelt in a land of verdant and fertile land, went down the way of the dwarves, and settled east and south of the country where Balaam the son of Beor lived, and his people; The two peoples have established a very good friendship.

Finrod himself often returned to visit Men, and many other Elves who dwelt in the Westlands, including the Noldor and the Sindar, came as far to Istrorad, anxious to see what the prophecy had long said would The Man of Eden appeared. At first, when speaking of the coming humans in Valinor's narration, they were called Atani, "the second comer", and now in the language of Beleriand, this name has become Eden, but this name Only the three families that became Friends of the Elves are included. (Hadow, Hurin, Turin)

Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, sent messengers to welcome them; and many young and eager Edain came to serve under the princes of the Eldar. Among them was Malach son of Marek, who dwelt fourteen years in Hithlum; and he learned the language of the Elves, and the Elves named him Aladdin.

The Izen were not always content to dwell in Istorrad, and many of them still wished to go on westward; but they knew not the way. Before them lay the protective ring of Doriath, and to the south the impenetrable swamps of Sirion. Then the three kingdoms of the Noldor saw the hope in the power of Men and their offspring, and sent word to the Edenites that they might come and live with their own people if they wished.

Thus began the migration of the Edenites; first in twos and threes, then in whole families and clans, who set out from Istrorad, and after about fifty years thousands of Humans moved into the territory of the Elf King to live. Most of them took long distances to the north, and those roads were later determined by them very well.

The people of Bael moved to Dorthonion, and dwelt in the lands ruled by the House of Finarfin. Most of Aladdin's people moved westward (Malah lived in Istorad until his death); some went to Hethron, but Aladdin's son Maguel and many people crossed Sirion The river entered East Beleriand, and they dwelt for some time in the valleys on the southern slopes of the Wetherings.

It is said that no one but Finrod consulted with King Elu Thingol about this whole matter; He had dreamed of their coming, and was troubled by it, long before the news of them reached him. Therefore he commanded men to dwell nowhere but in the north, and the princes whom they served were to be held accountable for all their words and deeds; Men shall not enter, not even the Beors who serve my beloved Finrod."

Melian said nothing to his words at the time, but afterwards she said to Galadriel: "Soon there will be many great things to happen. There will be a man, one of the Beors, who will indeed intrude , Not even the Melian girdle could stop him, Fate greater than mine sent him in; and out of this event the songs that sprung out will last as long as Middle-earth lasts. (Referring to Beren, the later son-in-law of Thingol and Melian, the son of Barahir and Emedil, a human of the Beor family. His love story with Thingol's daughter Lucien has been in Middle-earth was sung.)

And the news of humans coming to the west was naturally learned by Morgoth. He also knew that humans lived with the Noldor royal family and made friends with the elves. Because, in the hearts of human beings, lies the shadow left by Morgoth. 32.
