Brief History: Gil-Galad's date of birth and place he was born is unknown, but he was sired by either Orodreth or Fingon. After being born, he was sent to Cirdan at the Havens and stayed there until the War of Wrath, and then formed the Realm of Lindon. After this, he worked with Tar-Meneldur to subdue Sauron, and recieved the ring Vilya from Celebrimbor. He then fought Sauron again for a second time, but this time in hand to hand combat, but perished in the attempt of destroying Sauron.

Timeline:

-Shortly after being born, Gil-Galad was sent to the Havens because of the Seige of Angbad being broke by Morgoth. Although the Havens were overcome, Gil-Galad and Cirdan managed to escape by boat and eventually got to the Isle of Balar, on which the dwelt until the Second Age.

-After leaving the Isle of Balar, he formed the realm of Lindon.

-He, along with Tar-Meneldur, combine forces and subdue Sauron for the first time.

-He recieves the Ring of Power, Vilya, from Celebrimbor.

-He fights Sauron's armies for a second time, and eventually, fights Sauron in one to one combat, but perishes in the attempt.

Location: He was born somewhere in Beleriand, and was moved to the Havens. From there, he fled to the Isle of Balar, and later founded the realmof Lindon, which he lived in until his death at the hands of the Dark Lord Sauron.

About me: I have been following this mod since around beta 17, but I didn't play it since I didn't have MC. Even after I got MC though, it took me a while to learn how to download mods(since I used a mac), and I didn't have much time to figure out. That delayed my playing of the actual mod to around beta 24. In addition to this, I didn't play on servers until beta 27, due to me being content playing single player, or with my friends on a LAN network. I would like to think that my knowledge of LotR lore is somewhat good, due to me having read the Silmarillion and LotR many, many times, and the Hobbit many, many, many more times than the previous two. I have been an avid Tolkien fan for around 4-5 years. Some of the other Tolkien books I have read were The Children of Hurin, and the Lost Tales.
