Biography
Járnsmid was a Barding who lived in Dale during the late Third Age. He worked as a Merchant. Elrond, the Lord of Rivendell, invited representatives of factions of the Free peoples of Middle-earth to a Council which aimed to answer the growing threat of Mordor. Wise emissaries from Dale were sent to Rivendell to the Council of Elrond: Hugin and Ottar of Lake-town and Erland and Járnsmid of Dale.
During the Council, Járnsmid sat between Hugin and an Elf. He looked at the One Ring as Boromir recounted his dream of it.
The Council erupted into as its members disagreed on what to do with the Ring. Járnsmid stood up and began yelling. He and Hugin argued with Figwit and another Elf. Their furious bout raged on until Frodo Baggins, the Shire-hobbit who brought the Ring to Rivendell, volunteered to take the Ring to Mordor and destroy it. Járnsmid watched as eight others offered to join Frodo on his quest. He sat back down and watched Lord Elrond dub Frodo and his eight companions "The Fellowship of the Ring".
