Tolkien Gateway  Valandil (Lord of Andúnië)  Biographical
Information BirthS.A. 630 ParentageSilmariën and Elatan Physical
Description  Valandil was the son of Elatan of Andúnië and
Silmariën, the eldest daughter of Tar-Elendil, the fourth King
of Númenor. He founded the line of the Lords of Andúnië, who
ruled the city on the western shores of the island kingdom of
Númenor. Though he did not belong to the direct royal line, he
remained close to the royal house, and was important among the
Council of the Sceptre (a post he passed on to his descendants).
In the story of Aldarion and Erendis, Valandil held a feast
around Second Age 700 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the
Guild of Venturers and another feast for Aldarion and Erendis
after their wedding in 870.                  |           |
