Table of Contents
The Narn i chîn Húrin explains that Saeros was a Nando (Green-elf) and son of Ithilbor, chief of the Guest-elves. The Guest-elves were Nandor who lived in the forest Arthórien in the southeast corner of Doriath, granted to them by Thingol after the First Battle of Beleriand and the death of Denethor, their leader, on Amon Ereb.
Lechind = Flame-eyes, Sindarin name for the Noldor. (I've let the Nandor use it also).
Belegurth = an altered form of Sindarin Belegûr (= Quenya Melkor) meaning 'Great Death'. I wanted something unique for the Nandor to use but couldn't be bothered to come up with my own name.
Loegeth is a combination of Nandorin loeg ('pool') and the Sindarin name ending -eth.
