Indor
Father of Aerin. Indor was a man of Dor-lomin in the First Age. His daughter was forced to marry an Easterling named Brodda when the Easterlings occupied Dor-lomin.
Notice: In the earliest version of the legendarium, Indor was the father of a man named Peleg, who became the father of Tuor. However, Tolkien changed all of this when he made Indor the father of Aerin and Galdor the grandfather of Tuor. The character named Peleg was presumably erased from the history of Arda, and thus rendered un-canon.
