Dior

This page is about the King of Doriath in the First Age. For the Warden Trainer, see Dior (Ered Luin). 

Dior was the first of the Half-Elves, being the son of the Man Beren and the Elf Lúthien, and was said to be the most beautiful man that ever lived.

Dior was the King of Doriath and father of Elwing, and thus Elrond's maternal grandfather.

His kingdom was attacked by the sons of Fëanor. In that battle, three of the sons were killed, one of them by Dior himself. In the end though, both Dior and his wife Nimloth were slain.

He also had two sons, Eluréd and Elurín who were abducted and left to die in the woods. Their fate is unknown.
