Vorondil (Third Age 1919[1] – 2029,[2] aged 110 years) was the second of three Stewards of Gondor that served King Eärnil II.
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]
