Enya Teraniel

Considered the mother of all High Elves, Enya Teraniel was born before the cataclysm of the Second Age. She was among the first of those born to the banished, and was herself without the wings of the ancients. Though of the banished Teraniel she ever-honored the lineage of her ancestors, the Avariel.

Born on land, but still immortal, she knew not a natural death. Rather, she lived a life of valor and nobility. She fought in the shadow of the Wall of Dynkyr against the Fire Giants, was nearly slain by spider venom in the Elvish Civil War. She outlived four spouses, and countless grandchildren. She fought until the middle of the Sixth Age, when her life was claimed by Valritra, the mother of krakens, at the Battle of the Dry Rift.

From her line were drawn the mortals Harandir, Iseri and Elras, from whom all the so-called High Elves are descended. Therefore, every elf of Aranelmalas and Losnolmalas can call Enya grandmother.
