Also, according to the Middle-Earth related text The Lost Road and Other Writings, a compilation of J.R.R. Tolkien's unpublished (but still often relevant) writings of the Lord of the Rings universe, Gwir was an alternate (and the original) name for Vairë, one of the Valar, beings highly revered by the elves. Vairë was noted as being associated with time and most notably would record the tales of Middle-Earth in her "storied webs", i.e. tapestries, mirroring how Gwir records the history of Tirannwn in her writings: Tolkien was often noted as using Welsh in his writings in names and RuneScape often references Tolkien.
