'''Ciryon''' ([[Quenya|Q]], pron. {{IPA|[ˈkirʲon]}}) was the third son of [[Isildur]].

==History==
{{qya-decl-nd|num=sg2|Ciryo}}
In the War of the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]], Ciryon and his brother [[Aratan]] did not participate in the [[Siege of Barad-dûr]].  Isildur had sent these two brothers to man [[Minas Ithil]] so as to guard [[Cirith Dúath]] and prevent a possible breakout of [[Sauron]] should he escape the siege.<ref>{{UT|Gladden}}, note 11</ref>


In the [[Disaster of the Gladden Fields]], Ciryon was the first brother to die; Aratan was mortally wounded while trying to save him.  After the fall of these two brothers, [[Elendur (son of Isildur)|Elendur]] advised his father to put on [[the One Ring]] and escape.<ref>{{UT|Gladden}}</ref>
