'''Warden of the Keys''' was a high office of [[Minas Tirith]] in [[Gondor]]. At the time of the [[War of the Ring]], the position was filled by [[Húrin the Tall]], who gained the epithet "of the Keys". What keys they were, and what other tasks and responsibilities belonged to this office remains unknown. It may be possible that the keys are those that belong to the main gates of Minas Tirith.

{{cleanup}}
Famous '''Twins''' had a significant role in the history of [[Arda]]. It is mainly noticed among [[Elves]] and [[Half-elven|Half-elves]], but some have been recorded among [[Men]]. It is interesting to note that many of these twins are ancestors of, or siblings are ancestors of, [[Elladan]] and [[Elrohir]], who were themselves twins.

== Elven and Half-elven Twins ==
As has been said before, twins seem to be common among [[Elves]] unlike the human standard of one in sixty. Elven twins:

*[[Amrod]] and [[Amras]]
*[[Elured]] and [[Elurin]]
*[[Elrond]] and [[Elros]]
*[[Elrohir]] and [[Elladan]]

== Mannish Twins ==
*[[Haleth]] and [[Haldar]]
*[[Folcred]] and [[Fastred]]

== Genetics ==
Twins run through the female's genes. That means if the father had ancestors that were twins, but the female does not, the chances of having twins is very slim. However, if their daughter has children her father's genes affect her chance of having twins.

This means that [[Amras]] and [[Amrod]]'s twin genes came from their mother, not [[Fëanor]].
