Who ruled Lothlórien?
Galadriel
In J. R. R. Tolkien’s legendarium, Lothlórien or Lórien is the fairest realm of the Elves remaining in Middle-earth during the Third Age. It is ruled by Galadriel and Celeborn from their city of tree-houses at Caras Galadhon.
What happened to Lothlórien?
Even after the assaults on Lórien by Sauron’s forces during the War of the Ring, there must have been several thousand Silvan Elves remaining in the land. By the time Arwen came there to die in FO 121, Lothlórien was deserted. She was buried on the hill of Cerin Amroth, where she and Aragorn had been betrothed.
What elf dies at Helm’s Deep?
Haldir
Haldir leads a regiment of Elven archers from Lórien to the Battle of Helm’s Deep, where he is eventually slain, along with most of his archers.
What are the Elves called in Lord of the Rings?
The Elves, who called themselves the Quendi, and who in lore are commonly referred to as the Eldar (adj. Eldarin), were the first and eldest of the Children of Ilúvatar, and are considered to be the fairest and wisest of any race of Arda given sapience.
What is the difference between Lorien and Lothlórien?
The proper, full name of Galadriel’s forest realm is Lothlorien, “Lorien of the Blossom”. Lorien is a shortening of that name, the way we refer to “Britain” instead of “Great Britain” or “US” instead of “USA”.
What river flows Lothlórien?
Lothlórien stood between the south-eastern end of the Misty Mountains and the great river Anduin. The river Celebrant ran through the wood from its source in the mountains to the west through to the Anduin to the east.

Who dies at Helms Deep?
Although Haldir dies in the battle at Helm’s Deep in the film, there is no mention of his death in any of Tolkien’s published works.

Aragorn is Dunedain and was never marked as Half-Elven. Despite his close contact with the Elves, he never had the option of whether or not to choose the Fate of the Elves or the Gift of Man and he was always doomed to die eventually.
Who is the oldest Elf in Middle Earth?
The Oldest Elf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is Cirdan the Shipwright. The bodies of Elves live indefinitely (they do not age) in Middle-Earth, but they can be killed, or so badly wounded that their spirits forsake their bodies.
Who is the Witch-king in The Lord of the Rings?
The Witch-king appears in all three of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. He is portrayed by Brent McIntyre in wraith form in The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers and by Lawrence Makoare in The Return of the King.
What did the Witch-king do to Frodo Baggins?
After the first defeat of Sauron in the War of the Last Alliance, the Witch-king fled to Angmar, a kingdom he ruled for over thousands of years until he returned to Mordor to lead Sauron’s armies in the War of the Ring. He stabbed Frodo Baggins on Weathertop during the first months of Frodo’s venture out of the Shire to Rivendell.
How did Eärnur defeat the Witch king?
The Witch-king may not have anticipated the strength brought against him, but for whatever reason the alliance gained the upper hand. His army began to fall back toward Fornost, but Eärnur’s magnificent horsemen struck from the north and the Witch-king was routed.
Where did the Witch king take his seat of power?
The Witch-king took his seat of power in the newly conquered Fornost, but in the next year an army from Gondor under their general and heir, Eärnur, landed at the Grey Havens.
