Amrod

One of the twin sons of Fëanor

With his twin brother Amras, the youngest of the seven Sons of Fëanor. In Aman, with their five brothers, they took the Oath to recover the Silmarils from Morgoth, and followed their father back to Middle-earth.

Both the twins were famous hunters, and they dwelt in the wide plains of East Beleriand west of the River Gelion. They were joined there after the Dagor Bragollach by their elder brother Caranthir. They played little direct part in the events of the First Age, though doubtless they aided their brothers in their various battles in pursuit of the Silmarils. Late in the Age, they took part in the assault of the Sons of Fëanor on the refugees at the Mouths of Sirion, and both Amrod and his brother Amras met their ends in that fight.
