Characters listed alphabetically
For the purposes of the story, I call an Original Character ("OC") any character not given a name by Tolkien. Thus, Ivriniel is not "OC" because she is designated in a genealogical chart, though her mother, Luinil, is OC since, though she must exist, she is not named. A tad arbitrary, but it is consistent. Canonical characters are in green, OC characters are in yellow, and minor characters and/or those without speaking parts are in blue.
Age is the character's age at time of introduction.
The first appearance hyperlink will take you to where the person is described and/or first speaks in the story.
NOTE: Names of characters and descriptions should be considered "spoilers" if you haven't read that far in the story.
