F.A.420-422. The Haladins did not serve any lords, man or elf, and they lived in small communities in the Southern of Thargelion. Morgoth sent out and Orc-raid who came from the East across the mountains down by the Dwarf-Road and they attacked and killed what they could of the Haladin settlements and people. But Haldad, her father, gathered all the brave and valiant men of the Haladins in Thargelion and they builded a stockade in the Southern woods of Thargelion in the angle of river Ascar and Gelion where they gathered women and children trying to defend themselves against the Orcs. Haldad was slain in a sortie against the Orcs and her brother, Haldar, was slain trying to rescue his dead body.

When her father and brother died in Thargelion during the Orc-attack she held the remaining people together until they seven days later where rescued by Caranthir. He offered her his protection and land further North but she was proud and wished no-one to rule her and the people and she refused to settle in the Northern area of Thargelion . The people chose her to be their chieftain and they removed into the West of Beleriand. Haleth lead her people over the river of Celon and through the land between the Girdle of Melian and the Mountains of Terror ( Nan Gorgortheb ) over the fords of Brithiach and into the Forest of Brethil who was claimed by Thingol to be a part of his country.

F.A.422. But Finrod obtained the grace on the behalf of Haleth that she and her people could dwell here if the people would guard the land and the Crossing of Teiglin against the enemies of the Eldar. When Haleth died she was buried in a mound Haudh-en-Arwen ( Tur Haretha.) raised by her people in the heights of the forest and the leadership of the people was committed to Haldan, the son of her brother.
