Hirluin

Overview

Tolkien Gateway identifies Hirluin as the leader of reinforcements from Pinnath Gelin, the Green Hills. He brings three hundred green-clad men to Minas Tirith during the War of the Ring.

At the Pelennor Fields he advances with Imrahil, Húrin and Forlong to assist Éomer and the Rohirrim. He is killed in the fighting outside the city. His battlefield role belongs to the book account; the article's game-specific family and tavern scenes are excluded.
