Aegnor is elder brother of Galadriel and younger brother of Finrod Felagund and Angrod . Together with Angrod he held the highlands of Dorthonion against Morgoth . Aegnor and Angrod were both slain in the Dagor Bragollach . The name Aegnor is a Sindarized form of his Quenya given-name ''Aikanár'' or '''''Aikanáro''''', meaning "Sharp-flame", apparently given with regards to his character. His true name was ''Ambarato'', meaning 'High Noble'; a similar name was given to his half-cousin (Amrod). Aegnor never married. He was in love with the Bëor ian woman Andreth , but because it was wartime did not make his intentions towards her clear, and was killed soon after. OTHER VERSIONS OF THE LEGENDARIUM In the early versions of Tolkien's ''), this was the name of the father of Beren (who then was a Ñoldorin Elf, not a Man as in later writings). It is far from certain if this Egnor was the same character. TRIVIA The name ''Aegnor'' was also assigned to the movie-only character Figwit for the Trading Card Game . |
