Thondir

Thondir, an Elf of Lindon, was a subject of Gil-galad in the Second Age.

His character was created for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and as such is non-canonical.

Biography[]

With seven other Elves, Thondir accompanied Galadriel to Forodwaith in the mid-Second Age to search for the whereabouts of Sauron. He exercised caution, urging Galadriel to consider their safety in the harsh environment, though to no avail. He was present when the small company entered Dúrnost, an ancient fortress of Morgoth, and discovered a mark left by Sauron. He afterward assisted in slaying a snow-troll that attacked them in the fortress. Though Galadriel wished to continue the search, Thondir and his companions refused, as Gil-galad had given instructions to go no further.

Thondir, along with his companions, was honored by Gil-galad upon returning to Lindon, and given the privilege of returning across the Sundering Seas to Valinor. He entered the Undying Lands, though Galadriel ultimately chose to jump from their ship and go back to Middle-earth.
