Elendil™, wise and fair King and builder of the strongholds of Gondor, kept watch over much of Middle-earth. For more than an Age, a great darkness covered the lands until Elendil™ united with Gil-galad to form The Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Elendil™ led his men to victory against Sauron and his legions of orcs, in the Battle of Dagorlad. Then, on the slopes of Mount Orodruin, despite heavy losses, the Alliance managed to drive Sauron’s forces back. Cornered there, Sauron himself took to the battlefield. After heavy battle, Sauron slayed the Great King of Men, Elendil™, and shattered his legendary sword, Narsil™. The armour and helm of Elendil™ were adorned with the feathered wings and crests of seabirds. These emblems represented Elendil’s™ arrival from over the sea in ships that sailed on the wings of the wind. The crest and wings of Elendil’s™ helm were slightly larger than other Gondorian helms, symbolizing his status as king.

A noble and wise king among Men, Elendil made an alliance with the Elven King, Gil-galad, to assault the fortress of Sauron, the Dark Lord, whose evil threatened all the good creatures of Middle-earth. Though their campaign would be victorious, King Elendil himself would be confronted by a foe he could not hope to defeat.
