Elendil is a minifigure in LEGO The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game. He is based on a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He appears in The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales.
Lore[]
Elendil is first introduced in The Fellowship of the Ring.
He was born in 3119 of the Second Age in Númenor, son of Amandil, Lord of Andúnië and leader of the "Faithful" (those who remained loyal to the Valar), who maintained a strong friendship with the Elves and preserved the old ways against the practices of Ar-Pharazôn and Sauron.
Elendil, his sons Isildur and Anárion, and their supporters fled to Middle-earth at the downfall of Númenor. Elendil landed in Lindon where he was befriended by Gil-galad. The waves carried Isildur and Anárion south to the Bay of Belfalas and the mouth of the River Anduin. They founded the realms of Arnor and Gondor in Middle-earth in S.A. 3320. With them they took the palantíri, the "Seeing Stones" that were given to the Lords of Andúnië by the Elves of Tol Eressëa, and a seedling of Nimloth, the White Tree of Númenor.
His son Anárion founded the city of Minas Ithil, and his son Isildur founded Minas Tirith. Across the Anduin the city of Osgiliath was built. Across the realms, towers were built for the seeing-stones called palantíri, with which the realms kept in contact.
As explained in The Fellowship of the Ring, Sauron eventually returned to Middle-earth, establishing a stronghold in Mordor, which was next to Gondor. In 3428 he attacked, seizing Minas Ithil. Isildur fled north to his father, leaving Anárion in charge of Gondor. In 3434, Elendil and Isildur returned south, together with the Elven King Gil-galad and their combined armies, in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. They defeated Sauron in the Battle of Dagorlad, and laid siege to his stronghold of Barad-dûr for seven years. During this long siege Anárion was killed. In the year 3441 of the Second Age, Sauron came out personally to do battle. Gil-galad and Elendil fought him, but both were killed,
In Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Elendil is portrayed by Peter McKenzie. He appears in the prologue, where he is killed by Sauron.
