In briefanswer capsule

Emeldir, called the Manhearted, was wife to Barahir and mother of Beren among Men. She would rather have fought beside husband and son, yet she gathered the women and children still remaining, armed those willing, and led them by mountain ways to Brethil amid loss. Some found places among the Haladin; others, including Rían and Morwen, went on to Dor-lómin and Galdor's people. Those left behind were never seen again.
