Quick question for those who KNOW. It’s probably in The Silmarillion but I would have no clue on where to start looking, and wikis are failing me. Haleth and her people were granted leave to settle in Brethil in exchange for the promise that they would guard the Crossings of Teiglin; but who granted them that leave ? I know Brethil was considered part of Doriath at some point, but it was excluded from the Girdle of Melian. I have different wiki pages telling me different things: one says it was Finrod Felagund, which doesn’t not make sense because he did rule the lands North of Narothrond, Talath Dirnen, and another says Elu Thingol, which would also make sense for the above noted reason of Brethil having once been a part of Doriath. But, since Brethil had been somewhat cut out of Doriath by the raising of the Girdle some 300-400 years prior, did that mean someone else claimed the land for their own ?
I am very confused, that’s all. Someone help please?
FIVE SECOND RULE: IF NO ONE CLAIMS BRETHIL, IT’S MELKOR’S
