Silmarien

Silmarien is a fictional character in J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium, appearing in *The Silmarillion*. She is the daughter of King Valandil of Arnor, making her a descendant of Elendil. Silmarien's lineage connects her to the ancient kings of Númenor and the royal house of Arnor. While her brother, Tarindor, inherited the throne, Silmarien held a significant position as the elder of his two sisters.

A notable aspect of Silmarien's story is her marriage to a Man of Lórien, a descendant of the Golden Tree of Lórien. This union is significant as it represents an intermingling of the bloodlines of the Dúnedain and perhaps other noble Men. Through this marriage, Silmarien became the mother of Valandil the Second. Her life and lineage contribute to the rich tapestry of the history of Arnor and its royal family, illustrating the continuity and interconnections within the Dúnedain nobility after the fall of Númenor. Her existence is primarily mentioned in genealogical contexts within Tolkien's writings, emphasizing the importance of royal bloodlines in the history of Middle-earth.
