Huor
Born in the year 444 of the First Age, Huor was the younger brother of Hurín.
At the age of thirteen, he, along with his older brother, was separated from
his companions. The two of them were rescued and lived for a year in the hidden
city of Gondolin. After his return to Dor-lómin, Huor married Rían,
who bore him a son.
As joint commanders, Huor and his brother led the right wing of the army from
Hithlum in the Nornaeth Arnoediad. Huor foretold of the salvation to come through
Eärendil, leading to the retreat of the forces from Gondolin. He and Hurín
served as the rearguard until he was killed by a poisoned arrow.
