Username:Ereinion



Character Name:Ereinion (Gil-Galad)



Character's Lore:

Gil-Galad, born with the name of Ereinion, was the son Orodreth and brother of Finduilas. Ereinion meant “Son of Kings” and Gil-Galad. “Star of Radiance.” His parentage in Orodreth put him in the house of Finarfin, one of the three sons of Finwe. Gil-Galad most likely lived with Orodreth in Tol Sirion until the Dagor Bragollach, when Tol Sirion was overthrown. After this he and Orodreth moved to Nargothrond, where Orodreth was considered the steward of the King Finrod. After the sack of Nargothrond, Gil-Galad fled to Cirdan in the Havens. When Gondolin fell, and the death of Turgon, the current High King, was heard about, Gil-Galad became the High King of the Noldor. Gil-Galad was in the mouths of the Sirion at the time of the Third Kinslaying, and arrived too late to save the Havens of Cirdan.The sons of Feanor, now only Maedhros and Maglor fled the fight with Elrond and Elros. Gil-Galad then summoned all the Elves who could be summoned to the island of Balar, and to hope beyond hope that the Valar come. The Valar indeed did come, and the Elves of the island of Balar were saved. Maedhros and Maglor disappeared, leaving Gil-Galad to take Elrond into his service after Elrond chose the kindred of Elves.

Gil-Galad served as the High King of Elves in Middle Earth from Lindon after the War of Wrath. He was the High King of all the Elves that did not leave for Valinor at the end of the first age. Gil-Galad ruled through another attack of Sauron and lived up until the last alliance at the end of the second age. With Gil-Galad’s death, the last of the Noldor Kingdoms in Middle earth perished, even though some Noldor still lived in Rivendell and with Cirdan in the Havens of Lindon.



RP History:I have decent experience in roleplay, especially as a High Elf. I haved rped as a High Elven Lord on another server before, as well as a Half Troll Warlord and a Easterling Soldier. I found the High Elven Lord the easiest of the three. I have also seen some of the RP that goes on this server, and I cannot wait to be involved in some.

I changed my ign to match Gil-Galad's birth name, Ereinion, which I quickly found I preferred after trying to use Gil-Galad. I am also a lover of all things lore for the First Age because I absolutely love the elves.

The lore on him is in the second age, but I decided to summarize the second age Gil-Galad as this is a FA server. <ac_metadata title="Application For Ereinion Gil-Galad"> </ac_metadata>
