| == History ==
| |
| Meril was of the line of [[Ingwë]], being his great-granddaughter, but was also akin to the [[Falmari]]. Long ago she had seen the [[Bay of Eldamar]].<ref name=LTV>{{LT1|V}}</ref> Later she dwelt in a white house inside a great ''[[korin|corin]]'' (a great circular hedge around a green sward) of the most ancient [[elms]], near [[Ingwion]]'s tower in [[Kortirion|Cortirion]]. She was of great beauty and accompanied by [[Elves|Elven]] maidens.<ref>{{LT1|I}}</ref><ref name=LTIV/>
| |
| | |
| === Coming of Eriol ===
| |
| [[Littleheart]] brought [[Ælfwine]] ([[Eriol]]) to her house who requested to taste some ''[[limpë]]'', seeking kinship and fellowship with the Elves. Turinqui denied, telling him that it is dangerous for a [[mortal]] [[Man]], as [[Ilúvatar]] made his [[Children of Ilúvatar|Children]] different, and drinking ''limpë'' would erase his old desires but awake new ones; she also warned him that he would at a time long for his lands again.<ref name=LTIV>{{LT1|IV}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| == Etymology ==
