Description

Earendil the Mariner in battle with Ancalagon the dragon in The War of Wrath.

*Eärendil was the son of Tuor of the Edain and Idril of the Eldar.
*The name means 'Lover of the Sea'.
*Also called 'Half-elven', 'the Mariner', 'the Blessed', 'the Bright' or 'the Dragon-slayer'.
*Escaped the sack of Gondolin and wedded Elwing, daughter of Dior, at the Mouths of Sirion. Sailed with her to Aman and pleaded for help against Morgoth. This resulted in the War of Wrath where Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the greatest Dragon the world has ever known, and to the banishment of Morgoth.
*Set to sail the skies in his ship Vingilot bearing the Silmaril that Beren and Lúthien brought out of Angband. Led the surviving Edain to the new island kingdom of Númenor.
*Eärendil and Elwing had two sons; Elros and Elrond.
