Vorondil (Third Age 1919[1] – 2029,[2] aged 110 years) was the second of three Stewards of Gondor that served King Eärnil II.
History[edit | edit source]
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]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Vorondil is a Quenya name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it means "Ever-friend" and is a compound of voro ("ever") and the suffix -(n)dil ("friend", "lover", "devoted to").[8]
