Ingwë Ingweron
King of the Vanyar, High King of the Quendi in Aman, House of Ingwë
Ingwë (Q."First One") was revered for his imminent wisdom and piety, living gloriously in the light of Manwë Súlimo. Ingwë was one of the Minyar (the first clan of Quendi) born at Cuiviénen. He was the eldest son of Ilion and Ingwil, and a descendant of Imin and Iminyë, from eldest son to eldest son. He was beloved by his people, and at some point before the Great Journey he wed Ilwen and had several children at Cuiviénen by the time Oromë found the Quendi. When Oromë invited them to Aman, Ingwë, along with Finwë and Elwë, were the most eager to visit, and so followed him as ambassadors and travelled to the Blessed Realm. Once there, Ingwë desired to "dwell in the presence of Varda", and was reluctant to return to Middle-earth.When they returned, they held a great debate, and told their peoples about its beauty and bliss and became their leaders during the Great March. Ingwë was the leader of the Vanyar, the foremost of the clans to follow Oromë, who were the most eager to reach the West, which they did quickly. After the Great Journey, Ingwë never returned or set eyes upon Middle-earth again. He lived in Tirion for a while, where he also built the great, white tower at the topmost part of the city, called Mindon Eldaliéva or the Tower of Ingwë. It was never used, except by those who tended to the lamp at its summit. There he begot many children, as noted by Finwë when Finwë complained to the Valar about his widowhood. At some point, however, he went to live on Taniquetil at the feet of Manwë.
