Sleeper

The Sleeper, also known as the Sleeper in the Tower of Pearl, was a mariner who set foot on the westernmost of the Enchanted Isles in the Shadowy Seas that surrounded Valinor.
==History==
It was said that Littleheart, the Gong-warden of Tombo, rang the gong and woke the Sleeper. It was also said that the Sleeper, while awake, may no longer leave, and instead warns the unwary, and as Eärendil (then Eärendel) was on one of his western voyages, the Sleeper warned him not to set foot upon the island.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. I, The Book of Lost Tales Part One, Ch. I, The Cottage of Lost Play (chapter)
==In other versions==
In some versions of the legendarium, the sleeper was Idril herself. The race of the Sleeper after Tolkien rejected that idea is unknown.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. II, The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, Ch. V, The Tale of Eärendel
