Template:Mergeto The Mound of Elendil was the grave-mound of Elendil, father of Isildur and Anárion, and first ruler of Arnor and Gondor. Isildur erected the mound on a hilltop on the Northern side of the Ered Nimrais,[1] some time before his death on 4 October, T.A. 2.[2] The hill was named Amon Anwar, Hill of Awe, because of this. After Cirion led Eorl the Young to the peak, the body of Elendil was moved to Rath Dínen.[3]
