Rivendell Captain

"[…] the Elven-wise, lords of the Eldar from beyond the furthest seas. They do not fear the Ringwraiths, for those who have dwelt in the Blessed Realm live at once in both worlds, against both the Seen and the Unseen they have great powers."

- Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring, Many Meetings

The Rivendell Captaion is the hiring NPC of the Elves of Rivendell. They are recognizable by the missing helm and the coin in their hand.

Spawning
The lords of Imladris can be found in Rivendell Halls, in, of course, Rivendell. They will spawn wearing Rivendell armour, but with no helmet.

Behaviour
Like all hiring NPCs, they will not attack unless provoked and stay out of fights. When attacked, they will defend themselves with their swords.

Hiring
Lindon lords allow you to hire units from their people, provided that you have a least +300 alignment with the High Elves and some money in your pockets.

Upon hiring a unit from a Rivendell Captain, the player earns the achievement "The Last Alliance"
