Description
'And it came to pass that he saw Aredhel Ar-Feiniel as she strayed among the tall trees
near the borders of Nan Elmoth, a gleam of white in the dim land. Very fair she seemed to him, and
he desired her; and he set his enchantments about her so that she could not find the ways out, but
drew ever nearer to his dwelling in the depths of the wood. [...] And when Aredhel, weary with
wandering, came at last to his doors, he revealed himself; and he welcomed her, and led her into his
house. And there she remained; for Eöl took her to wife, and it was long ere any of her kin heard of
her again. It is not said that Aredhel was wholly unwilling, nor that her life in Nan Elmoth was hateful to
her for many years.'

J.R.R. Tolkien, Silmarillion, Of Maeglin
