Adaladel is a name that appears in the genealogical tables and early history of the Quendi, the Elves. Her lineage connects her to significant figures within the Elvish early history. She is mentioned as a daughter of Amlach, who was himself a descendant of the first Elves to awaken. The significance of Adaladel lies primarily in her place within the complex and intricate family trees that Tolkien meticulously crafted to underpin his mythology. Her existence helps to flesh out the relationships and ancient history of the Elves, particularly the House of Hador and its ancestors. While not a central character in any of the major narratives, characters like Adaladel serve as important threads in the vast tapestry of Tolkien's world-building. Her name itself is composed of elements typical of Elvish nomenclature, reflecting Tolkien's deep linguistic interests.
