the greatest smith of Nogrod. According to the Narn i hîn Húrin he lived
during the First Age about the time of the appearance of Glaurung; but
the Grey Annals (in The War of the Jewels) imply that he lived a
millennium and a half before the First Age
began.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
