Editing Lúthien and Beren (section)

=== Return to life, and death ===

Lúthien and Beren dwelt together in Ossiriand until after the sack of [[Menegroth]]. Their abode was ''Dor Firn-i-Guinar'': the "Land of the Dead that Lived".<!--Silm. p. 188--> They had a son, Dior.<ref group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1977|loc=ch. 20 "Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad"}}</ref>

Thingol received the Nauglamír from [[Húrin]], who had recovered it from the ruins of [[Nargothrond]]. Thingol decided to unite the greatest works of the [[Dwarf (Middle-earth)|Dwarves]] and the Elves – the Nauglamír and the [[Silmaril]] – and hired Dwarf smiths from Nogrod. The Dwarves murdered Thingol and took the Nauglamír. Beren and an army of Green Elves and [[Ent]]s waylaid the returning Dwarves. Beren reclaimed the Nauglamír, and Lúthien kept the necklace and the great jewel all her life. This hastened Beren's and Lúthien's end, since her beauty enhanced by the jewel was too bright for mortal lands to bear.<ref group=T>{{harvnb|Tolkien|1977|loc=ch. 22 "Of the Ruin of Doriath"}}</ref>

[[Elrond]] and [[Arwen]] were descendants of Lúthien, as was [[Aragorn]], a descendant of Elrond's brother Elros.<ref name="Tale" group=T/>
