Ilwen, Queen of the Vanyar
High Queen of the Quendi in Aman, House of Ingwë, Elindis Sildalinquë
Ilwen was Ingwë’s wife, the Queen of Vanyamar, mother of Almáriel, Airamírë, Élelindë, and Ingil. She was a Vanya of Aman. Ilwen was born at Cuiviénen, likely to the more junior generations of the Minyar. She wed Ingwë, who was a direct male-line descendant of Imin, from eldest son to eldest son. The couple were wed and had several children at Cuiviénen by the time Oromë found the Quendi and invited them to Aman. Ilwen accompanied Ingwë and the rest of the Vanyar to Valinor, as it is said that Ingwë begat many children in the bliss of Aman, as noted by Finwë when he complained to the Valar about his widowhood following the death of Míriel.
