| “ | […] 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 Lindon lord is the hiring NPC of the Elves of Lindon. They are recognizable by the missing helm and the coin in their hand.
Spawning[]
In Public Beta 28, the lords of the Eldar were moved from halls to towers of Lindon, the last remnant of Beleriand of old. They will spawn wearing Lindon 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 High Elf lord, the player earns the achievement "The Last Alliance"
