Tórin

Tórin, also known as Daurin, was a Ñoldorin Elf of Valinor in earlier versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium.
==History==
Tórin was a kinsman of Fëanor. When Melko and Gwerlum came to destroy the Two Trees of Valinor, Tórin attempted to stop them. However, the fallen Vala cut off one of Tórin's legs, and Gwerlum threw a web around him before Melko slew him. Then Melko used Tórin's blade, laced with the black, poisonous blood of Gwerlum, to destroy the silver tree Silpion.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. I: The Book of Lost Tales Part One, VI: "The Theft of Melko and the Darkening of Valinor"
