| '''Elladan''' and his twin brother [[Elrohir]] were the children of [[Celebrían]] and [[Elrond]]. Dark-haired and grey-eyed, only those that knew them well could tell them apart. The first of the twins was named Elladan, ("Elf-Man") as a token of his ancestry; he was descended not only from the royal houses of the [[Noldor]], the [[Vanyar]] and the [[Sindar]], but also from the Houses of [[House of Hador|Hador]], [[House of Haleth|Haleth]] and [[House of Bëor|Bëor]] of the [[Edain]].

| ==History==
| |
| In the year [[Third Age 2509|T.A. 2509]], the twins' mother Celebrían went on a journey into the south to visit her own mother, [[Galadriel]], in the land of [[Lórien in Middle-earth|Lórien]]. In the [[Redhorn Pass]], she was captured by orcs, and tortured in their dens. Elladan rode with his brother to rescue her, but by the time they reached her she had received a poisonous wound. Though their father healed her, she would not remain in [[Middle-earth]], and sailed into the [[Aman|West]] the following year. After this loss, Elladan and Elrohir were filled with hatred of the [[orcs]], often riding against them with the [[Northern Dúnedain]].
| |
| | |
| In the early part of the [[War of the Ring]], the brothers' main role was to scout the land and prepare the way for the [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]], but later they took a more active part. When [[Halbarad]] rode to [[Aragorn|Aragorn's]] aid with the [[Grey Company]], Elladan and Elrohir accompanied them. They followed Aragorn through the [[Paths of the Dead]], fought with him at [[Pelargir]], and took part in the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], where they fought with stars bound to their brows.
| |
| | |
| After the [[War of the Ring]], little is known of the brothers' fate. They returned to their father's house at [[Rivendell]], and remained there even after he had passed across the Sea. Like their sister [[Arwen]], the sons of Elrond [[Half-elven]] were granted the choice of whether to leave Middle-earth for the [[Undying Lands]], or remain there and become [[Mortals|mortal]] as [[men]]. So they chose for a time at least, to stay in Middle-Earth for reasons unknown.
