Thorondir (Third Age 2782 – 2882, aged 100 years) was the twenty-second Ruling Steward of Gondor.
History
He succeeded his father Belecthor II in T.A. 2872. When his father died, the White Tree of Minas Tirith also died. Without a seedling to replace it, Thorondir left the Dead Tree standing in hope of the King's return, though that would not happen for nearly 140 years after his death. His rule was short; he was Steward for just ten years. He was succeeded by his son, who ruled as Túrin II.
