Wise (Edain)

In J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, some of the Men of the First Age were counted the Wise. They possessed a great knowledge of lore and traditions of their people, especially concerning their ancient days.

But the Wise mostly kept their knowledge secret and passed it only to those whom they chose. Some of them were women, and many remained unwed. Among the Wise are known:

Bëor the Old (Y.S. 262-355), leader of the First House of the Edain during their journey to Beleriand. Shared a great part of his knowledge with the Elven-lord Finrod Felagund.

Belemir (born 339), his great-grandson, to whom the wisdom of Bëor was chiefly transmitted.

Adanel (born 339), granddaughter of Marach and sister of Magor.

Andreth (361-455?), great-great-granddaughter of Bëor. Also called Saelind ('Wise-Heart') by the Elves, for she was "wise in thought and learned in the lore of Men and their histories".

(On their descent see House of Bëor and House of Hador.)

Belemir married Adanel and was father of five children, of whom the last was Beren, grandfather of his great namesake Beren Erchamion. By this marriage the much differing lore and traditions of the two Houses were brought together. The Wise of the People of Marach were the only Men to preserve the tale of their original sin, when, soon after their awakening, the Men chose to worship Melkor instead of Eru Ilúvatar and in the result their lifespan was shortened; see Gift of Men.
