The mother of Elrond and Elros was Elwing and Elwing's mother Nimloth was an Elf and her father Dior was the son of Beren � a Man � and Luthien � the daughter of an Elf and a Maia. Thus Elrond and Elros were descended from both Elves and Men and were counted among the Half-elven, or Peredhil. Their family lived near the mouths of the river Sirion on the southwestern coast of Beleriand. While Earendil was away at Sea, the sons of Feanor attacked the Havens of Sirion seeking the Silmaril that Elwing had in her possession. Elrond and Elros were taken captive. Feanor's son Maglor took pity on them and spared their lives. It is said he cherished the two children and fostered them for a time, though according to another story the twins were left by their captors in a cave behind a waterfall where they were later found safe and sound. « Less
