Doesn’t say, he’s supposed to be half Noldorin (on his father’s side) and Sindarin (on his mother’s).
Voronwe, also born in Nevrast to a Noldorin father (Aranwe) and Sindarin (Falathrin) mother (unnamed)?
(I'm not certain Voronwe or Pengolodh need to be introduced this season, but they will be born soon.)
I wanna cast Galadhon and Galathil this season, and have them show up as characters.

Did the Hosts give any indication whether they'll allow Annael to exist?
Pen-golodh is Quendi-ngoldo in Quenya (kinda a dull name, actually). What would Pen-lod or Pen-lodh be in Quenya? Quende-lutta-something? "floating elf"? Penlod is a Lost Tales name so we can just adjust it to make it more similar to Pengolodh. I don't see what his name was originally supposed to mean in the Lost Tales glossary, but if anyone here owns Parma Eldalamberon #11, #13, or #15, it may be possible to figure out what Penlod meant.
No idea, but it's a good suggestion. Noldor do like father-son names to be similar.

One thing I have had a growing concern about: As the Noldor begin to split into their various camps, we need to give them named characters with whom to have conversations when they are at home. Turgon has Glorfindel, Ecthelion, and Aredhel. Finrod has ... Orodreth? Beyond that, though, none of the Noldor princes really have anyone to talk to.

Looks like we’ll have to make up quite a few characters. Maybe some of Finrod’s other conversors will be amongs his companions for Beren and Luthien?...
Finarfin's children have Orodreth, Gelmir 1, Arminas, Guilin and his sons (Gwindor + Gelmir 2), Edrahil for the House of Finarfin (I don't recognize who Ornil is). Gwindor and his brother may be born in Middle-earth (my preference, making him similar to Finduilas in age). I would really like Gildor's father Inglor to be another lord in service to House Finarfin, and one of Finrod's companions on his suicide mission. And later add Finduilas, Gil-galad, and Gildor.
Turgon has aaallll the lords of Gondolin (Ecthelion, Glorfindel, Rog, Salgant, Egalmoth, Duilin, Legolas, Penlod, Galdor 2), plus Idril, Aredhel, Pengolodh, Edrahil, and later Maeglin.
Thingol has Celeborn, Melian, Luthien, Mablung, Beleg, Daeron, Saeros, and Galadriel. I would like Galadhon and Galathil to exist at least in the background, since one of them (I forget which) is Nimloth's father. Arnorion suggested that Oropher live in Doriath and marry a distant kin of Denethor, a suggestion which I second.
Cirdan has Galdor 1, plus ??
Fingon and Fingolfin will have ??
Sons of Feanor will have each other and Celebrimbor, plus ??. Should we introduce the creeps [in service to Celegorm] who later leave Dior's sons to starve?
We can use Erestor (the guy in Rivendell) as a lord serving under either Fingolfin or Maedhros. Or as a Sindarin guy.

Probably only Orodreth, Edrahil, Gwindor, Ecthelion, Glorfindel , "Rog", ,Talagand, Oropher's wife (could we use Nielthi or Evranin maybe to fill this role?) , Galdor, Erestor...
The rest are minor characters or extras -probably as they are only assistants ( edrahil, Gwindor, Ecthelion, Glorvundel and Talagand may be minir characters too, but they have short but interesting parts -and "Rog" is much beloved, like Glorvindel)

We will have to see how the plans for the season go, to see if any minor characters emerge as something beyond 'glorified extra' or 'set dressing.'
Recall how in Season 3, we wound up creating the character of Norn, as it was clear some sort of 'dwarven ambassador' to the Sindar would be needed. At the beginning of the Season, we didn't know he would exist.
No doubt Season 4 will have some 'Norns' in it, but we won't find that out for awhile yet. For now, these are just suggestions of characters we *could* use or introduce in the story, not necessarily characters we'll need to cast in this season.
