[edit] History
Upon the death of his father, Pelendur, the Stewardship of Gondor became hereditary within the House of Húrin and thus Vorondil succeeded to the position.[3]
Early in Vorondil's Stewardship Gondor was attacked and suffered a serious defeat. In T.A. 2000, the Nazgûl issued from Mordor to besiege Minas Ithil. The city fell in 2002 and with it they took the Palantír therein.[4]
Vorondil was remembered as "Vorondil the Hunter" for his hunting of the Kine of Araw, found near the shores of the Sea of Rhûn.[5] From one of the wild white oxen he fashioned a Great Horn, bound with silver and written with characters.[6] It had been passed to the eldest son for generations within the House of Húrin and Boromir was the last to carry this horn.[7]
Vorondil was succeeded by his son Mardil, who would become the first of the Ruling Stewards.[3]
