When Thingol (also called ''Elwë'') met Melian, he lost track of the passage of time and was left behind when most of the Eldar left for Valinor . They had one daughter, Lúthien Tinúviel , through whom Melian's Maiarin blood passed into bloodlines of both Elves and Men . In Doriath she used her powers to guard and defend it with a protection called the ''Girdle of Melian'', but she predicted that one person would breach it. When Beren arrived as foretold, she counselled Thingol against sending Beren for a Silmaril , a quest which would eventually lead to Doriath's ruin. After Thingol's death, she allowed her body to "die", leaving Middle-earth for Valinor , where she mourned the loss of her husband and daughter. |
