In briefanswer capsule

Eöl was a skilled smith of the Sindar who dwelt in the shadowed woods of Nan Elmoth and was called the Dark Elf. He took Aredhel, sister of Turgon, to wife when she wandered into his woods, and their son was Maeglin. His craft included the black metal galvorn; the later quarrel with Gondolin ended in his ruin and in judgment before Turgon's seat.
