Elladan

Overview

Tolkien Gateway treats Elladan together with his twin Elrohir. They rescue their mother after Orcs capture her, but her recovery does not prevent her departure over the Sea. The brothers subsequently ride with northern Rangers.

During the War of the Ring they scout for the Fellowship, then join the Grey Company and accompany Aragorn through the Paths of the Dead. They fight at the Pelennor Fields and the Black Gate. They remain in Rivendell after Elrond leaves; their ultimate fate is uncertain. Adaptation-specific events are excluded.
