Overview
Tolkien Gateway describes Forlong as the elderly, grey-bearded lord of Lossarnach. He arrives at Minas Tirith with two hundred men to help defend the city. His contingent carries battle-axes, while he rides in mail with a black helmet and a heavy spear.
Forlong later fights at the Pelennor Fields. Separated from his horse and fighting alone, he is killed by axe blows. The Song of the Mounds of Mundburg remembers him among the fallen. This profile excludes the article's separate game narrative.
