Lord of Minas Anor
Anárion, younger son of Elendil, escaped the Downfall of Númenor with his brother Isildur and founded with him the realm of Gondor, building Minas Anor. He held Osgiliath against Sauron's first assault and was killed by a stone from Barad-dûr in the seventh year of the siege. Through his son Meneldil the Kings of Gondor descended.
Mightiest of the dragons of Morgoth
The greatest dragon that ever lived, black and winged, whom Morgoth loosed from Angband as his last weapon in the War of Wrath. Eärendil slew him from the deck of Vingilot after a day and a night of battle in the air, and his fall broke the towers of Thangorodrim.
Princess of the Noldor
Aredhel, the White Lady of the Noldor, was the daughter of Fingolfin and sister of Fingon and Turgon, a restless huntress who left Gondolin, was taken to wife by the Dark Elf Eöl, and bore him Maeglin. Fleeing back to Gondolin, she died of a poisoned javelin her husband had thrown at their son.
King of Arthedain
Arvedui was the fifteenth and last King of Arthedain, the northern remnant of Arnor. Named Last-king at birth on a prophecy of Malbeth the Seer, he claimed the crown of Gondor in 1944 and was refused, saw his kingdom destroyed by the Witch-king of Angmar in 1974, and drowned in the Ice-bay of Forochel the following spring, taking two palantíri with him.
Lord of the Earth
Aulë is the smith of the Valar, master of all crafts and lord of the substances of the earth, who shaped the mountains and made the vessels of the Sun and Moon. Impatient for the Children of Ilúvatar, he made the Dwarves in secret, and his people, including Sauron and Saruman, were the most gifted and the most prone to fall.
Lord of Belegost
Azaghâl was Lord of Belegost, the great Dwarf-city of the Blue Mountains, and the only Dwarf-king recorded as fighting in the wars of Beleriand. At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad in F.A. 472 his masked Dwarves alone stood against the dragon Glaurung, and Azaghâl wounded the dragon so badly that it fled, though he died beneath it.
Chieftain of the Orcs of Moria
Azog was the great Orc who ruled Moria after the Dwarves had abandoned it, and whose murder and mutilation of King Thrór in T.A. 2790 provoked the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. He slew Náin of the Iron Hills at the Battle of Azanulbizar and was beheaded there on the doorstep of Moria by Náin's son Dáin.
Lord of Moria
Balin son of Fundin was the eldest and wisest of Thorin's companions on the quest of Erebor and the Dwarf who became closest to Bilbo. In T.A. 2989 he led an expedition to refound the kingdom of Khazad-dûm, ruled there as Lord of Moria for five years, and was killed by an Orc arrow at Mirrormere; the Fellowship found his tomb in the Chamber of Mazarbul.
Lord of the House of Bëor
Barahir, younger son of Bregor, saved the life of Finrod Felagund in the Dagor Bragollach and received from him the ring that became the heirloom of his house. He held out with twelve companions in the highlands of Dorthonion until Gorlim's betrayal, and he was the father of Beren.
King of Dale
Bard the Bowman, a captain of archers in Lake-town and the heir of Girion of Dale, killed the dragon Smaug with the Black Arrow in 2941 as the dragon burned Esgaroth. He then led the Lake-men to the Lonely Mountain, fought in the Battle of Five Armies, and with his share of the treasure rebuilt Dale and became its king.
Chief of the Marchwardens of Doriath
Beleg Strongbow, chief of the marchwardens of Doriath and the greatest woodsman of the Sindar, was the friend and teacher of Túrin. He followed Túrin into outlawry and into the enemy's country to save him, and died at his hand in the dark of Taur-nu-Fuin, killed by mistake with the very sword he had carried to the rescue.
First lord of the House of Bëor
Bëor, born Balan, led the first company of Men over the Blue Mountains into Beleriand in F.A. 310 and became the vassal and friend of Finrod Felagund. The first house of the Edain bears his name, and from him descended Barahir, Beren and the kings of Númenor.
Chief of the Beornings
Beorn was a skin-changer who lived alone in a great wooden hall between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, a huge black-bearded man who could take the shape of a bear. He sheltered Thorin's company in 2941, broke the Goblin army at the Battle of Five Armies in bear-form, and became the founder and chief of the Beornings.
Chieftain of the Goblins of the North
Bolg, son of Azog, was the chieftain of the goblins of the North who led the great host of Orcs, Wargs and bats against Erebor in T.A. 2941. His attack turned the quarrel over Smaug's hoard into the Battle of Five Armies, in which Thorin Oakenshield was mortally wounded and Bolg himself was crushed by Beorn.
Warden of the Gate of Angband
The greatest wolf that ever lived, bred by Morgoth from the line of Draugluin to be the doom of Huan and set as sleepless guard at the gate of Angband. He bit off Beren's hand with the Silmaril in it, ran mad with the jewel burning inside him, broke into Doriath, and died there in the Hunt of the Wolf, killing Huan even as Huan killed him.
Lord of Lothlórien
Celeborn, a Sindarin prince of Doriath and the husband of Galadriel, outlasted three Ages of Middle-earth as lord of the Galadhrim. He shared the rule of Lothlórien with his wife, led the host that stormed Dol Guldur at the end of the War of the Ring, held East Lórien for a season of the Fourth Age, and at last, when the Golden Wood had emptied, went to Rivendell and thence over the Sea.
Lord of Eregion
Celebrimbor, grandson of Fëanor, renounced his father Curufin's deeds and became the greatest smith of the Second Age. As lord of the Elven-smiths of Eregion he was deceived by Sauron in the guise of Annatar and forged the Rings of Power, but he made the Three alone and hid them when he perceived the One. Sauron destroyed Eregion and slew him, and his body was borne as a banner before the enemy host.
Lord of Himlad
Celegorm the Fair, third son of Fëanor, was a hunter and friend of Oromë, master of the great hound Huan. With his brother Curufin he seized Lúthien in Nargothrond and tried to force a marriage, lost Huan and his honour, and died in the sack of Doriath at the hands of Dior.
Lord of the Falas
Círdan the Shipwright, a Telerin kinsman of Thingol who stayed on the shores of Middle-earth when the ships sailed West, was lord of the Falas in the First Age and of the Grey Havens through the Second and Third. He built the ships of the Elves for three Ages, bore the Ring of Fire until he gave it to Gandalf, and remained at the Havens until the last ship should sail.
Ruling Steward of Gondor
Cirion, twelfth Ruling Steward of Gondor, faced the Balchoth invasion of 2510 and summoned the Éothéod to his aid. After Eorl's riders saved Gondor on the Field of Celebrant, Cirion gave them the province of Calenardhon and swore with Eorl the oath that bound Gondor and Rohan together for the rest of the age.
Lord of Himlad
Curufin the Crafty, fifth son of Fëanor, was the son most like his father in skill and temper, and the father of Celebrimbor. With Celegorm he schemed for the lordship of Nargothrond, tried to kill Lúthien, and was repudiated by his own son; he died in the sack of Doriath.
Lord of the Iron Hills
Dáin Ironfoot slew the Orc Azog at the gate of Moria when he was thirty-two, ruled the Iron Hills, led five hundred Dwarves to the Battle of Five Armies, and succeeded Thorin Oakenshield as King under the Mountain. He ruled Erebor for seventy-eight years of prosperity and died in the War of the Ring defending the body of King Brand at the gate of the Mountain.
King of Doriath
Dior Eluchíl, the only child of Beren and Lúthien, was the first of the Half-elven and the heir of Thingol. He restored Doriath after the death of his grandfather, received the Silmaril in the Nauglamír, and refused to yield it to the sons of Fëanor; in the Second Kinslaying he slew Celegorm and was slain, and the kingdom of Doriath ended with him.
Lord of the Werewolves of Tol-in-Gaurhoth
The first and eldest of the werewolves of Angband, sire of their whole race and of Carcharoth. He served Sauron on the Isle of Werewolves, was mortally wounded by Huan at the foot of the tower, and crawled back to die at his master's feet with a warning; afterwards Beren wore his hide to enter Angband.
