ÉARENDEL
Germanic Hero God
Also known as Auriwandalo, Ēarendel, Erentil, Orendel, Orentil
The star of Tolkien's Silmarillion
A rather obscure figure of great antiquity who could be the pole star, a Bavarian count or some Old High Medium Rare German typographical error.
The name Éarendel was a tremendous inspiration to JRR Tolkien who adored the sound of its Anglo-Saxon linguistic nuances and concocted a beautiful but utterly fictitious hero-myth around it.
In Norse mythology Éarendel has a much firmer footing as the frost-bitten foot soldier Aurvandil. Not nearly so glamorous as Tolkien though.
