After being captured and tortured by Orcs in the Redhorn Gate, Celebrían left Elrond and went over the sea to seek healing. Following its fall, Elrond harboured the Chieftains of the Dúnedain and sheltered the Sceptre of Annúminas, Arnor's symbol of royal authority. The union produced twin brothers Elladan and Elrohir, and a daughter, Arwen Undómiel.ĭuring the Third Age Elrond was the main ally of Arnor. In the early years of the Third Age, Elrond married Celebrían, daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel and his first cousin twice removed. Elrond and Círdan were the only ones to stand by Gil-galad's side when he fell. Near the end of the Second Age, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men was formed, and the army departed from Imladris, led by Elendil and Gil-galad, who were both killed in the Siege of Barad-dûr. Upon this occasion, Gil-galad entrusted Elrond with Vilya, the mightiest of the Three Rings of the Elves. The White Council decided that Eregion would be abandoned in favour of Imladris.

In 1700 an army from Númenor arrived in Lindon and Gwathló, and Sauron was trapped between the Númenóreans and Elrond. Elrond was able to retreat to a valley where he made a settlement at Imladris (Rivendell). Fortunately, an army led by Durin and Amroth assailed Sauron's host in the rear, causing the Dark Lord to turn and drive them back to Moria. Eregion was destroyed, however, and Elrond was driven back and surrounded by Sauron. He united his army with one from Eregion, led by Celeborn. During the War of the Elves and Sauron, Elrond was sent to Eregion when it was attacked by Sauron. He chose (like his parents but unlike his brother) to be counted among the Elves when the choice of kindreds was given to him.Īccording to the appendices of The Return of the King, Elrond was Gil-galad's herald in the Second Age. Their parents feared that they would be killed, but instead they were taken up by the brothers Maedhros and Maglor.Įlrond went to Lindon with the household of Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor, when Beleriand was destroyed at the end of the First Age. He and his brother, Elros, were captured alive. Elrond chose to travel into the West and live as an immortal Elf, while his twin Elros chose mortality.Īs documented in The Silmarillion, Elrond was born at the refuge of the Mouths of Sirion not long before its destruction by the sons of Fëanor. Elrond, along with his parents, his brother, and his children, were granted a choice between Elven or human fates by the Valar. Through Lúthien, daughter of Melian the Maia, he and his brother Elros were also descended from the Maiar, angelic beings who had come to Middle-earth thousands of years before. Elrond's twin brother was Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first High King of Númenor.Īlthough Elrond was considered half-elven, that was not meant to be an exact percentage value. He was the son of Eärendil and Elwing, and a great-grandson of Lúthien, born in Beleriand in the First Age, making him well over 6,000 years old by the time of the events described in The Lord of the Rings. His name means "Vault of Stars", "Star-dome", or "Elf of the Cave" (the exact meaning is uncertain, as Tolkien gave different derivations in different places). Elrond was Lord of Rivendell, one of the mighty rulers of old that remained in Middle-earth in its Third Age.
