Mithrim

The Elves of Mithrim were the Sindarin inhabitants of the land of Mithrim.

The Elves of Mithrim crossed into Hithlum from Beleriand at some time before the rising of the Sun, settling in the regions around Lake Mithrim. They were the first Elves of Middle-earth encountered by the Noldor when they returned from Aman.

Fingolfin took up lordship in Hithlum, with most of his own people dwelling around the shores of Lake Mithrim, and there was a degree of intermingling between the two peoples. It is not stated to what extent the Grey-elves of Mithrim participated in the Wars of Beleriand under Fingolfin and Fingon. After the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, they sheltered Rían; when she departed Hithlum, one of the Elves, Annael, fostered her son Tuor.

It is unclear what became of the Elves of Mithrim after the Easterlings took up lordship after the Nirnaeth. A group of them attempted escape but were spotted and run down, leading Tuor to become a thrall and outcast.
