Rúmil was a Lambengolmo ("Loremaster") of the Noldor, living in the city of Tirion.
History
Rúmil was notable for inventing writing. His alphabet was called Sarati, as each letter was called a sarat. This alphabet was later expanded and perfected by Fëanor as the Tengwar. He was also a skilled linguist, and when the Teleri finally arrived in Valinor he was first to discover just how the Telerin language differed from Common Eldarin compared to Quenya.
Rúmil was one of the Noldor who refused the summons of Fëanor, choosing to remain in Tirion under the rule of Finarfin[source?]. His fate is not recorded.
Works
Rúmil was said to be the author of various works, some of which would find great acknowledgment after they were translated into Westron by Bilbo Baggins. These include:
Pengolodh of Gondolin, when arrived to Valinor, later continued and completed much of his work.
Etymology
The only thing known about the name Rúmil is that it is Quenya.[1]
Other versions of the legendarium
In The Book of Lost Tales, an Elf of Tol Eressea named Rúmil narrates to Eriol the creation of Arda by Ilúvatar and the Ainur; this mirrors Rúmil's connection to the Ainulindale tale.
