Elrond
Master of Rivendell, son of Eärendil and Elwing,
Elrond is Middle-earth's wisest master of lore and
healing. Ancient even amongst the long-lived Elves,
the regal and commanding Elrond wears the greatest
of the three Elf-rings, Vilya, the Ring of Air, given
to him by the great Elf-king Gil-galad. Known throughout
Middle-earth for his wisdom and leadership, it is Elrond
who gathers the Nine to become the Fellowship and charges
them with the task of aiding Frodo in his quest to
destroy the One Ring. He is friend and ally to those
who stand against evil in Middle-earth, although the
weariness of carrying the weight of the ages-long struggle
can be seen on his noble face.
In LOTRO, Elrond stands as a powerful
force in aiding the Free Peoples in their struggles
against the gathering darkness. In the refuge of Rivendell
(called Imladris in Sindarin, the language
of the Elves), nestled in a protected valley at the
foot of the Misty Mountains, players can seek refuge
to rest and heal and gain the knowledge and guidance
of Elrond and his people.
