I am the king of Doriath
I live in the hall of Menegroth
In Arda
In Beleriand
In Doriath, once called Eglador
King of the Sindar
The Grey-elves of starlit Beleriand
My death came because of the Nauglamír
The necklace of the Dwarves
And because of the Silmaril,
Cut from the crown of Morgoth
Melian is my queen
She is of the Maia, a child of Lórien
My foster son is Túrin Turambar
A man of great sorrow and torment
Lúthien Tinúviel is my daughter
Beren Camlost son of Barahir, my son-in-law
And Dior Elurín my heir through them
Elwing is my great granddaughter
Earendil, the beloved star of the elves
Keeper of the Silmaril that caused my death
Son of Idril and Tuor
Became my son-in-law
Elrond, my great great grandson through them
Celebrian, daughter of Galadriel of the Noldor
And of Celeborn an elf of Doriath, my kinsman
Became my great great granddaughter-in-law
Arwen, my great great great granddaughter from him
Elros, too, is my twice great grandson
His other name is Tar-Minyatur
He became of the mortals
King of a great line, in Númenor
Down in his line came Aldarion,
The man who first assisted Gil-galad
In the war against Sauron
His love at sea was sweet
While his wife on land was bitter
His daughter, Ancalime
The first ruling queen of Númenor
Raised by Erendis
Who hated men
Farther down the line of kings and queens was Elendil
King of Gondor
He came to overthrow Sauron with Gil-galad
His death was witnessed by many
My heir, Elrond was one
Elendil's son, Isildur, took up his father's sword, Narsil
Striking the hand from Sauron's body
He took the golden Ring and refused its destruction
His death came by the golden band
Then, the Númenórean's, my descendants,
Became the Dúnedain, rangers of Arnor
After Isildur's death and many generations came Arathorn II
His son was Aragorn II
Who served the steward of Gondor
The King of Rohan
The Hobbits of the Shire
And Gandalf the Grey
After the great war of the Third Age
Aragorn, who claims me as ancestor
Wed Arwen, my heiress, turning the king of Gondor
Into the King of a long destroyed Doriath
In Arda
In Beleriand
My name is Elwe; Elu Thingol
King Greymantle, in the tongue of the Sindar
