In briefanswer capsule

Dírhaval, held to come from Hador’s house, stayed at the Havens of Sirion in Eärendel’s time. There he collected lore from Men and Elves fled from many Beleriand lands. He shaped the Narn i Chîn Húrin, Tale of the Children of Húrin—his sole lay, longest still kept in memory on Eressëa though made by a man. The Eldar held it dear; he wrote in Grey-elven speech with much skill.
