+ Haud-en-Arwen : Another name for the Tûr Haretha.

+ Helcaraxë : The strait in the north between Middle-Earth and Aman which was coverd with ice. Because Fëanor didn't send the ships of the Teleri back to Fingolfin, Fingolfin and his people were forced to cross the Helcaraxë and reached Middle-Earth on this way.

+ Huan : The Hound of Valinor who left Aman with the Noldor. He was a loyal companion of Celegorm until Celegorm betrayed Lúthien in Nargothrond. After that Huan helped Lúthien and Beren in the Quest of the Silmaril. Huan defeated Sauron at the gates of Tol-in-Gaurhoth and slew Carcharoth. He died in the year 469 of the First Age.

+ Hunting of the Wolf : After the wolf Carcharoth had bitten off Beren's hand with the Silmaril in it, the Silmaril burned the inwards of the wolf. Driven mad the wolf chased through Beleriand and Thingol set out to hunt him. He was joind by Mablung of the Heavy Hand, Beleg, Beren and Huan (see above), the Hound of Valinor, who finally slew the wolf. From the wolf's belly Thingol recovered the Silmaril.

He had one brother, Húrin (see below), with whom he took part in the Dagor Bragollach and was seperated from the main force. The two brothers were saved by Thorondor who brought them to Gondolin. After a year they returned to Dor-lómin where Huor wedded Rían. Together they had one son, called Tuor. Later Húrin and his brother Huor went again to war togehter and took part in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, in which Huor was slain.

+ Húrin : He was the eldest son of Galdor and the Lord of Dor-lómin. In the battle of Nirnaeth Arnoediad, he was caught by Morgoth who wanted to get Húrin alive because there were rumors that Húrin once visited the secret hidden town Gondolin which Morgoth wanted to find. Indeed Húrin once visited Gondolin, but he swore not to tell anyone where it lies, and so he didn't tell Morgoth anything about it. Therefore Morgoth cursed him and his kind and sat him on a hill from which Húrin was forced to see all that happened to his son Túrin and his wife Morwen without being able to move or to close the eyes. After Túrin's death Morgoth released Húrin. Húrin went to the grave of his children Túrin and Nienor and there met his wife Morwen. But Morwen died soon and Húrin went to Nargothrond where he met Mîm. He slaid him because Mîm once betrayed Túrin. Finally after some years Húrin commited suicide.

+ Hyarmentir : The highest mountain of Avathar. From the top of that mountain, Melkor and Ungoliant watched the Guarded Realm before the Darkening of Valinor.
