gil-galad

For me it would have to be this one. The harp, the singer's voice and honestly the following imagery of the New Line Cinemas regretfully unused content for Peter Jacksson's trilogy does not hurt either.

The lay of the fall of Gil-Galad tolkein never finished, but my brother created and published 15 more sections of the poem: In middle earth alliance made, the splendour of which will never fade. Of Elves and Dwarves and Mortal man: a great labour then began. Forged then was sword and blade...

Since one Valian Year is equal to 9,582 solar years, was Gil-galad mature enough to fight in the Battle of the Lammoth and subsequent wars, since he was born in 1481 of the Years of the Trees? Did Gil-galad fight in the Battles of Beleriand?

Gil-galad was born in Eldamar during the years of the trees. He was not a child during the Noldor exile. But he was relatively young. Do you think gil-galad participated in battles such as dagor aglareb, dagor bragollach, nirnaeth arnoediad, fall of falas, war of wrath? I don't see any reason...

I know this is a point of contention, so I figured there should be a thread about it. Before you ask, I know Orodreth reflects final intent and so can be considered "canon". However, although this is the case, especially since nothing was published on the topic in J. R. R. Tolkien's lifetime...

I don't usually care for "What If" questions. To me, the book is good enough for me, warts and all. In my view, any warts that might exist are excusable considering The Lord of the Rings was not a book that Tolkien ever set out to write of his own volition, but rather to fill a demand. But...

I'm writing a few RP profiles where it feels important to know the point where the transformation from Lindórinand to Lothlórien happened.

In every Tolkien site I go there seems to be differing opinions about whose son Ereinion Gil-galad is, and even those who have the merit to call themselves somewhat academic Tolkien readers have differing opinions or very frankly say "who knows, he never truly decided". Will it ever be entirely...

Gil-Galad was the son of Orodreth (who himself was the son of Angrod) and dwelt in Nargothrond, whilst Celebrimbor was the son of Curufin, who remained in Nargothrond after his father and uncle left because he felt ashamed of their deeds. Now, in the Shibboleth of Fëanor, Gil-Galad is said to...

The Appendix B entries in LOTR tell us that the War of the Elves and Sauron began in 1693 of the Second Age. In 1700, the entry says that Tar-Minastir sent a great navy to Lindon and that Sauron was defeated. Then for 1701, it says that Sauron was driven out of Eriador and that the Westlands...

Ever since I first read The Lord of the Rings, I have wondered about the full version of "The Fall of Gil-galad." Sam only recites the beginning of this lay in The Fellowship of the Ring: But there was never anymore. I came across more of Gil-galad in The Silmarillion (which I have yet to...

If Gil-Galad had not given his ring to Elrond before the Last Alliance, would he have survived 'the heat of Sauron's body?' I'd imagine the Ring of Wind would have cooled him down a bit, right? ;)

This may be just a minor point but it is something I am interested in nonetheless. Is ‘Ereinion’ a ‘fitting name’ for Gil-Galad? It means ‘scion of Kings’ in Sindarin. Of course, this makes perfect sense when he was Fingon’s son. Fingon was, briefly, High-King of the Ñoldor, his father Fingolfin...

Hey, I was just wondering where Gil-Galad is in the movie? I've seen pictures from the movie with him in them. Thanks.

Gil-Galad’s biography Ereinion, later called Gil-Galad, is the sixth and the last High King of Noldor in Middle-Earth. He is the High King who ruled over more than any other of his noble kin in Middle-Earth and no doubt Ereinion is the most famous and the greatest among all Noldor kings...

Orodreth's parentage and Gil-galad I split this thread from Elendil3119's 'Geneaologies' thread. -ithrynluin Nice site Elendil3119,but I have to add that actually my dad is not Fingon but Orodreth. Can you imagine how I felt when I realized that-awful,cause I don't like Orodreth's...

I have seen FOTR many many times. I might not have the wits to see him but i can never find him!!!! Can anyone point him out to me if he is in the movie. I see that Gil-Galad in the forum has his avatar of him. I dont remember him in the Prologue!

I know that everyone will think I am crazy here but, who the heck is Gil-Galad? Not the member of this Forum, but the Elf in the LOTR series. Please tell who he is and what role he plays.

In Fellowship of the Ring chapter "A Knife in the Dark" Sam recites three verses of The Fall of Gil-Galad ("Gil-Galad was elven king, of him the harpers sadly sing etc"). Aragorn says that it's a part of the lay The Fall of Gil-Galad and that he didn't know that Bilbo had translated it...

I am really cursed.I hate Legolas and Orlando Bloom,but my girlfriend gave me a present and it was an enormous poster of Legolas.I had to put it on the wall and now when I go to bed I always see him watching me.That is real curse..............The curse of Legolas:mad: :mad: :( :(
