Elendil is the son of Amandil and the leader of the Elf-friends. Righteous and thoughtful, he escapes the fall of Númenor with his followers and founds the kingdom of Arnor in Middle-earth. When Sauron takes power in Mordor and attacks Gondor, the kingdom founded by Elendil’s sons (Isildur and Anárion), Elendil founds the Last Alliance and joins forces with the elves of Gil-galad to attack Mordor. At the end of a seven-year siege on Sauron’s tower, Sauron emerges and personally kills Elendil. His sword breaks beneath him and isn’t reforged until his descendant Aragorn’s lifetime.
