Mallor (T.A. 895[1] - 1110,[2] died aged 215) was the third King of Arthedain.
History
Mallor was the son of Beleg and grandson of Amlaith of Fornost, the founder of Arthedain. He became king at the age of 134 when his father died in T.A. 1029,[2] and ruled during troubled times.
Mallor's reign coincided with other events that would have a huge impact on Middle-earth's history, but whose importance weren't fully recognized at the time, such as the formation of the White Council, and the return of Sauron as a mysterious shadow that fell over Mirkwood. It was also the arrival (T.A. 1050) from across the Misty Mountains of a strange race of beings: similar to Men, but far shorter and with hairy, bootless feet. The Dúnedain called them periannath, "halflings", and they were the first Hobbits to enter Eriador, who would later settle the lands of former Arnor and Arthedain.[3]
Mallor ruled Arthedain for eighty-one years, and was succeeded by his son, Celepharn, upon his death in 1110.[2]
Etymology
The etymology of Mallor's name is hard to work out, although, it is likely that at least part of relates to the Sindarin word mall- meaning "gold".
