Character Bio:
| King Elrond is the milenia old son of Earendil
and Elwing, husband to princess Celeran, daughter of King Cerleron
and Queen Gladriel. He established Rivendell as a refuge for his Elven
people against Sauron and has been it's king ever since. He is the
father of Arwen Evenstar, and a foster father to Aragorn. It is he
who objects to Aragorn and Arwen's wedding since it would mean Arwen
giving up her immortality and dying as a human. Elrond reveals to
Aragorn his true heritage and encourages him to reclaim what is rightfully
his. Elrond like Gladriel is a ring bearer, he wears 'Vilya' the Ring
of Air. He is also a legendary healer and guardian of vast Elven lore.
Elron calls a council at Rivendell of representatives from all of
Middle Earth's free peoples to decide what is to be done about Frodo's
'One Ring' of total rule. This is where the 'Fellowship' is formed. |
