The heir of Elu Thingol
Grandson of King Thingol, and son of Beren and Lúthien. After Thingol was slain by Dwarves, and his halls sacked by the host of Nogrod, Dior went to dwell there as King of Doriath. At the passing of Beren and Lúthien, the Silmaril that Lúthien had worn was brought to Dior. He was assailed by the sons of Fëanor, who claimed the jewel for themselves, and slain in the final ruin of Doriath.
