But she strayed from the escort of Ecthelion, Glorfindel and Egalmoth her brother had given her and in time she came to Nan-Elmoth where Eöl the dark-elf lived. He saw her and desired her and he set his enchantsments about her so she drew nearer to his dwelling, and Eöl took her to wife and and he suffered her not to fare abroad or stray far.
