An Avar Woman of Helkanen
The Hisildi (PQ."Hiseldle"), or Dusk-Elves, were the original Avarin inhabitants of Lake Cuivienen and Palisor.
They were comprised of the two kindreds of Morwe and Nurwe: the Tatyarin-Avari and Nelyarin-Avari. For a long period of time they accepted Tû, an Avar of unknown origin, as their High-King, but after the Battle of Palisor Tuvo's reputation and influence faded and he withdrew underground to the springs of Khelkeneni. After Tuvo's retreat, an Avar lord known as Tareg led many Avari westwards, including the Windan, Penni and Kindi kindreds.
A few of the original Hisildi wemt on to form the realm of Helkanen, but soon split up into a Tatyarin and a Nelyarin faction - the Tatyar staying at Helkanen under leadership of their Queen Dardariann, and the Nelyar crossing the Dark Mountains, fleeing into the empty wild woods of the east and the Eastern Ocean and forming realms in Karanikala, Talenturi, Címóníemor and Ûiwen.
