the-grey-company:Legendary figures of Middle-earth: ElendilHe is the Fair and the Tall, the High King and the Last Lord. Elf-friend and Star-lover, his grey-eyes are wise and also are they sorrowful, for he has seen Numenor lost beneath that great wave. He is both survivor and founder, sailing across the sea with his sons, a seedling of Nimloth too soon cut down and the eight seeing stones, the palantiri of the Elves. On the banks of Nenunial does he build his shining city, Annuminas, proud and pure and a beacon of hope to the Men of the West. He goes to battle alongside the elves, forging one last Alliance after years of strife with the Dark Lord and there does he perish, his blade broken but to later be reforged. -- source link
