A-Z of Middle-earth

[Susan Delgado]

O is for Ohtar, Isildur's squire. He was the only survivor of the orc ambush of Isildur's people on their trip to the Northern Kingdom in Eriador. Ohtar it was who brought the shards of Narsil to Elrond in Imladris.

[Cimmerian]

P is for Pelendur

The Steward to King Ondoher of Gondor, who was thrust into a position of power when his King, together with both his heirs, was lost in battle with the Wainriders. With the Council of Gondor, it fell to Pelendur to select an heir. There were two candidates: Arvedui of Arthedain, and Eärnil, the Gondorian Captain and victor of the Battle of the Camp, who was descended from the Royal House of Gondor.

As the direct descendant of Isildur himself, it could be said that Arvedui had the stronger claim, but Pelendur moved the Council to elect Eärnil, who took the Kingship as Eärnil II. All available evidence suggests that Pelendur continued to serve as Steward under the new King.

Pelendur was a highly influential Steward, who accrued considerable power to his office. As well as effectively acting as regent during the interregnum, it was during his time that the office of Steward became hereditary. When Pelendur died, he was succeeded as Steward by his son Vorondil, and his grandson Mardil was to become the first of the Stewards to rule Gondor in their own right.

C is for Camellia Sackville-Baggins mother of Otho Sackville-Baggins.
