The Lords of Dor-lómin ruled Dor-lómin, the greatest realm of the Edain in northern Beleriand.[1] As a young man, Hador gained the favour of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, while serving in his household. Fingolfin therefore gave him the lordship of Dor-lómin, where Hador then gathered his kin. His son and grandson followed him as Lords and were vassals of the High King Fingon.[2]

Lords of Dor-lómin

  1. Hador Lórindol, F.A. 416–455.
  2. Galdor the Tall, F.A. 455–462.
  3. Húrin Thalion, F.A. 462–472.

Within their own household, the Lords of Dor-lómin spoke Sindarin, but at times still used their native tongue.[3] They were on good terms with the Eldar, and formed marital ties with the Houses of Bëor and Haleth.[4] Dor-lómin ceased to exist as a realm of the Edain following the battle of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, when all of Hithlum was occupied by Easterlings in the service of Morgoth, these incomers enslaving the Edain.[5] Húrin was held prisoner in Angband while his son Túrin was spirited away to Doriath.[6] From this point Dór-lomin was ruled by Brodda of the Easterlings, until he was killed by Túrin in his own hall. Despite a brief uprising by the Edain, the Easterlings retained control of the land.[7]
