Caranthir and Haleth

felagund:

Haleth the Hunter was a Chieftain of the Haladin, who was taken so after the deaths of her father and brother, Haldad and Haldar respectively, in an orc-raid. She led her folk after westward and settled in Brethil, where she ruled until her death in FA 420.

SILMWEEK DAY 3 - men: Haleth the Hunter, Chieftain of the Haladin

But Haleth was proud, and unwilling to be guided or ruled, and most of the Haladin were of like mood. Therefore she thanked Caranthir, but answered: ‘My mind is now set, lord, to leave the shadow of the mountains, and go west, whither others of our kin have gone.’

Haladin were probably more numerous than the Folk of Bëor, but no certain count of them was ever made. The Folk of Haleth were strangers to the other Atani, speaking an alien language; and though later united with them in alliance with the Eldar, they remained a people apart. One of the strange practices spoken of was that many of their warriors were women, though few of these went abroad to fight in the great battles. This custom was evidently ancient (not due to their special situation in Beleriand), and maybe rather a cause of their small numbers than its result. They increased in numbers far more slowly than the other Atani, hardly more than was sufficient to replace the wastage of war; yet many of their women (who were fewer than the men) remained unwed; for their chieftainess Haleth had been a renowned amazon with a picked bodyguard of women.

And Haleth dwelt in Brethil until she died; and her people raised a green mound over her in the heights of the forest, Tûr Haretha, the Ladybarrow, Haudh-en-Arwen in the Sindarin tongue.
