HISTORY

The son of E‰rendil and Elwing, Elrond was born in Arvernien fifty-eight years before the end of the First Age. Like Aragorn, he combines the bloodlines of all three Houses of the Eldar, the three houses of the Edain and the maiar themselves.

He was taken prisoner by the sons of Feanor when they sacked Avernien, but then befriended Maglor and was his standard-bearer in the Great Battle. At the end of the First Age, the Valar allowed Elrond and his twin brother Elros to choose their races, whether to be of the deathless eldar or to accept the Gift of Death and become human. Elrond chose to become eldar and was gifted with great wisdom and grace. Elros went on to lead the surviving Edain to Numenor and become the first king of the Dúnedain.

During the Second Age, Elrond lived in Lindon with Gil-Galad until Second Age 1695, when he was sent to Eregion to help defend that realm against Sauron. It was at this time that Celebrimbor, king of Eregion, gave him Vilya, the greatest of the Three Elven Rings for safekeeping. When Eregion was overrun in 1697, Elrond fled with the few surviving Noldor and founded Imladris (Rivendell). During the War of the Last Alliance of Men and Elves, Elrond was Gil-Galad's standard bearer. After Gil-Galad's death, Elrond became the High King of the Noldor.

In Third Age 100, he married Celebrian, daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn. They had three children: Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen. Throughout the rest of the Third Age, Elrond gave refuge and counsel to the line of Isildur and the rangers. At the end of the Third Age, he sailed over the sea with the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Ring.

Elrond is among the wisest and most open of all the elven-lords, and is central in the tale of The Lord of the Rings for his direction, with Gandalf, of the resistance to Sauron.

NOTES

1. The sword Angolas (Iron-leaf) I made up. It's there for completeness, Ditto for his magical chainmail.

2. The limitation "Non-Flashy spells only" on both Elrond's VPP and on the ring Vilya mean that the magic of the Elves takes its shape from nature, like the hiding of Rivendell, or the raising of the waters of the Bruinen to stop the nazgul. Elrond does not fly or cast fireballs.

3. The Ring of Air is so called because it lends the symbolic power of the air to it's wearer. It lends him wisdom and foresight. In Elrond's case, it adds to his already great wisdom.
