Hirwen
Second daughter of Bregor; decsendant of Beor the Old. Hirwen was born in year 389 of the First Age. Hirwen had two sisters: Bregil and Gilwen; and two brothers: Bregolas and Barahir.
Hirwen's father Bregor was the great-great grandson of Beor the Old, founder of the House of Beor. This would therefore make Hirwen a woman of the House of Beor. At that time, the people of Beor lived in Dorthonion, a region in Beleriand.
In 455, Morgoth attacked Dorthonion in the Battle of Sudden Flame. In 456, the women and children of the Edain were evacuated, led by Emeldir, but it is unknown what ultimately became of Hirwen.
