Lilith (John Collier painting)

The Daughter of Sauron was a mystical, maybe fictional being that appeared in tales of later Ages.Some tales told of a half-demon half-human child, some of an elven child, found, raised and corrupted by the last Dark Lord.Spurious Legends told that Shelob , before she had been reduced to spider-form ruled by primitive animal instincts actually had been a half-maia with shapeshifter abilities and Sauron's former lover or the last of the morgothic vampires had once demanded -and been granted!- a child from her master.

A The Loremasters however insisted that as long as Sauron had not been tied to a single form he was not really incarnate and such unable to sire offspring and after destruction of his original form had been incarcerated in a mutilated shape and not been able anymore to do so and certainly not after the destruction of the one ring which ended his incarnate existence in Arda.Even if Sauron's spirit had possessed a mortal, he would have only been a "spiritual" father not a natural one. Some identify her with the Rhûn God Sêt

Nevertheless some legends of later Ages told of beings who claimed to be a "Son of Sauron" or the "daughter of Sauron", giving her name as Aelindureth (S."She-of-the-dark-pool"), Bolmorniz (B.S."She of the mighty home"),Caladwen (S."shining maiden"), Daenreth Stormborn (S."corpse-climber"), Krûpu (B.S."Talon"), Luanna (Q."Sad gift"), Moriel (S."dark maiden"), Muri (B.S."Dark one"),Namma (Q."Talon"), Núixal (Q."Moon cast shadow"), Raina (Q."sweet-faced"), Ravennë (Q."Lioness") and Yóniën (Q."Son-daughter" Or "region-daughter") among others.
