The Nandor, later the Laiquendi or Danian as called in their tongue were the Wood Elves that inhabited the lands Amras would later rule over as Lord. He integrated himself into their culture and customs, respecting their reclusiveness, never naming himself as their Lord, instead he was clothed in green and hunting in many forests until he saw an elf maiden dancing under the moonlight. In her youth she was called Rānāwendē ('wandering maiden'), distant kinswoman to Denethor and Lenwë (Dân/Denweg), but later her name was translated to Isilwen by her husband Amras, who gave her the epessë Avatyare for her forgiving nature she held against his Oath. Together they had three sons, two of whom were twins she adopted stranded in the winter woods. Both Isilwen and Amras loved them as their own, and later had a son together called Gilfaron. When Amras died in the Havens of Sirion, Isilwen and her sons fled into the woods now known as Mirkwood, intergrating with their Eastern kin, fighting off orcs until Gilfaron died during a raid with his wife, leaving his daughter Tauriel behind. Isilwen and her twin sons fled to Lindon and were later found, their identities kept secret.
