Elrond's wife is Celebrían.
Celebrían was an Elf of Lindon, the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel, making her Elrond's wife and the mother of their children. Their marriage took place at the beginning of the Third Age, a significant period in the history of Middle-earth.
Celebrían and Her Family
Elrond and Celebrían had a family blessed with three children, who played various roles in the history of Middle-earth:
- Elladan and Elrohir: Their twin sons, renowned for their skill and bravery.
- Arwen: Their beautiful daughter, who later chose a mortal life for love and became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom.
Celebrían's Fate
Tragically, Celebrían's time in Middle-earth was cut short by a traumatic event. While traveling through the Redhorn Pass, she was ambushed, captured, tormented, and poisoned by Orcs. Although rescued by her sons and healed by Elrond, the ordeal left her with deep emotional and physical wounds that could not be fully mended in Middle-earth.
Seeking peace and healing beyond the confines of the mortal lands, Celebrían made the difficult decision to sail to the Undying Lands. She departed across the Sundering Seas, leaving her family behind and never returning to Middle-earth. Her departure was a profound and sorrowful event for Elrond and their children, deeply affecting them throughout the Third Age.
