connorpark:And in those days, when the Edain first walked under the Sun, there arose in the North a great servant of Melkor who was sent to stir up grievous misdeeds among the Second-Born. Móriartë they called him, the Veiléd-Prince of Mischiefs, and none under the Sun could say if he were of the Maiar or of the Avari or the Atani, for he did his mischiefs under shadow. Hearing of these doings, two Maiar of the gardens of Lórien departed Aman to oppose Móriartë, though none but Eru know who sent them. Sëorloca and Élementari they were called in Valinor, though the Sindar name them Olomes and Vastan. Keen was the insight of Sëorloca and few there are in any age who could measure the comings and goings of his mind, save perhaps Ireïna Atalarë, who was in the tongue of Men called simply The Woman . Élementari was his strong right arm and battle-friend, carrying a great wound that caused him to limp, though none of the children of Eru could say where he had been harmed, either the hip, or the leg, or in the foot. He it was that healed the wounds of those harmed by Móriartë, and dearly beloved was he, though the deeds of Sëorloca were the greater.By the Valar. -- source link
