Gil-Galad 2020-04-14

Here's Gil-Galad, High King of the Noldor. I like him a lot, only second to Galadriel of the ones I've done so far. Hope you enjoy him.

"Gil-galad was the sixth and last High King of the Noldor. Gil-galad founded a kingdom in Lindon in the far northwest of Middle-earth, roughly between the Blue Mountains and the Great Sea around the Gulf of Lhûn.

After the Downfall of Númenor, Elendil and his sons came to Middle-earth and founded the realms of Gondor in the south and Arnor in the north. Gondor was soon attacked by Sauron and Elendil's son Isildur had to flee, and sailed north to his father. Elendil and Gil-galad formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men against Sauron.

When the siege had lasted for seven years, it became so pressing that Sauron himself sallied forth. By his power the siege was broken and his army advanced to the slopes of Orodruin. There he was engaged by Elendil and Gil-galad in combat. Sauron was defeated but both Gil-galad and Elendil were killed in the act. In the Scroll he wrote in Minas Tirith before riding north, Isildur wrote that Gil-galad was killed by the heat of Sauron's hand." - Tolkien Gateway
