Pengolodh was an elven loremaster of the first and second Age. Born half noldo and half sinda, he was the son of Penlodh, a follower of Turgon and a founding citizen of Gondolin. As such, he spoke even in his boyhood with the great Elven-king, and of him learned much of the history of his people. He escaped with the other children and women of the city in its fall, and from there escaped to the Havens of Siron, where he endured the traitorous attack of the Fëanorians. He had already organized much of the history of the Noldor, for his young age, into scrolls and texts by the time of the fall of Angband.
Coming to full stature in the Second Age, he lived in Lindon and Eregion where he was one of the few Elves ever to learn elements of Khuzdul, through ambassadors visiting from Mallost and Hadhodrond. Later he went to the west to live on Tol Eressëa. A member of the Lambeñgolmor in his later years, he was believed to have been the author of the Annals of Beleriand and to have reworked the ancient loremaster Rúmil's Annals of Aman. His conversations with Ottor Wáefre were recorded under the titel Dangweth Pengolod.
