THE KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER

LORD ECTHELWION OF THE FOUNTAIN: Ecthelwion was the legendary first chieftain of the knighthood. He was the only son of Voronthel Ecthelion, lord of The Fountain. He was, as so many elves, named after his father and received names Vorondur Ecthelwion. He was born in the first age in Gondolin and fought in The Battle of The Unnumbered Tears, when still under-aged. After getting besieged with Fingon`s forces, Ecthelwion joined a sortie lead by sir Melandur and made his escape with some other elves. They then formed the famous brotherhood of Celebrimbor. He became very close to his cousin Celebrimbor. Echtewion fought well in the War of Wrath, and then served in the council of Lindon. It was he who arranged it so, that Narces son of Felduin was made the underlord of Lindon. Ecthelwion, however, did not enjoy politics. He soon moved to Eregion with his cousin Celebrimbor. He became famous after his trip to Mountains of Moon to deliver one of the seven dwarven rings there. He then was an important figure both in Imladris and in Lindon. During the Last Alliance lord Ecthelwion commanded the forces of Rivendell with great skill and integrity. He was seriously wounded in the battle of Dagorland, and took part to the final assault against Morannon and to the siege of Angband. He then helped his uncle Glorfindel to form the knighthood of the Golden Flower and became the first chieftain of that order. Ecthelwion was widely known for his good manners, integrity, considerable wisdom and lack of ambition. He was most happy while wandering in the forests with his friends. Ecthelwion was a good hunter and an excellent archer. He was a well known warrior, but was at his best in small scale fights and not in big battles, where he felt out of place. Ecthelwion was killed with his best friend Galmir while helping the forces of Cardolan to resist the attack of Rhudaur and Angmar. He was widely missed by the elves of Eriador. Ecthelwion was married to Välwen Melinir, who was granddaughter of lord Välwe and sister of Salmarindil Noldorin. They had two sons, Glorfuin and Glorfalc.

SIR DIGAINE OF CEREDIGION: Sir Digaine was born in early Second Age. He was son of the sister of sir Arminas and sir Gelmir. Digaine joined the ranks of king Ereinion`s household company during the war between Sauron and Elves. He rose quickly in rank and became one of the leading knights in Lindon. When the company marched to the war of Last Alliance, Digaine was second-in-command, in absence of sir Alcyon. Alcyon was then killed in Dagorlad and sir Digaine replaced him permanently. He was one of those knights who in Dagorlad defended Ereinion to the last. Digaine was wounded there, but recovered to fight again in Morannon. After the war he joined the knighthood of the Golden Flower, and became the second-in-command. Digaine was recommended to the knighthood by sir Arminas. He was murdered in Rhudaur under mysterious circumstances, while the men of the mountains took over that country in and allied themselves with Angmar. Sir Digaine was tall and strong. He was a skilful fighter and able leader.

SIR DELEMIR: (Dele – mir = Walking jewel. Ie.belowed person who walks a lot) In the 2000s the ranking chieftain of the knighthood. Delemir comes from a humble noldor family. He was born in Lindon in late Second Age. As a young elf he participated in The War of The Last Alliance, serving in the Headquarters of the Army of Eriador. He was a relative of underlord Narces himself, which helped him forward in his career. Delemir has been in the knighthood from the beginning, and after the deaths of Ecthelwion and sir Digaine he became the ranking chieftain of the order. Delemir was recommended to the knighthood by lord Glorfindel himself. From the beginning he commanded the Eastern Group of the knighthood, which was based in Imladris. Delemir was quite tall and strong knight, with legendary swordman skills. He is the one who killed Darchas "the darkelf", renowned swordman, in a duel during the destruction of Angmar. His hair was dark and manners polite. What Delemir lacked in woodman skills he gained in strategy and leadership. Delemir didn`t have many close friends with the knighthood, but he had wide support and was generally held in high esteem. His relations with Talwe were somewhat cold, but cordial. This went back to the days of the Last Alliance, when they were rivals. Delemir was famous for his good luck. After War of The Rings Delemir resigned his commission and went over the sea to Tol Eresseä to seek for Glorfindel`s daughter Veänne, who he loved.

SIR TALWE: (Tal – we = Foot elf) Second ranking chieftain of the knighthood. Talwe "the dark", and also known as "lord of the lance". Talwe came from a common grey elf family. Already as a young elf he got a reputation as a fierce and fearless fighter, which in the war of The Last Alliance made him the champion of Galadhil, his king. Originally Talwe fought with a sword, but in the war he also got a reputation as a great mounted-warrior, and later in Eriador he was called Lord of the lance. Talwe joined the knighthood when it was formed, and feverishly believed in their ideology. He was recommended by king Galadhil of Sindar. Talwe was quite a loner in the knighthood, but highly respected. Talwe rose slowly towards the top. After lord Ecthelwion and sir Digaine died he was the second in command. Talwe commanded the Western Group of the knighthood, which was based in Mithlond. His hair was extremely dark, which gave him the nickname "dark". Talwe was not that tall, but strongly build and experienced tracker and hunter. He was really good with sword and lance, and quite good with bow and spear. Talwe remained in Middle Earth during the fourth age. After Delemir resigned he was the ranking chieftain of the knighthood. His most famous action was in 2400s, when he together with sir Herion hunted a man who had murdered a whole family in Minhiriath. They followed the murderer all the way to Rhun and caught him.

SIR GUNDAR: Third chieftain of the Golden Flower. He was a rare phenomenon among the knights, being falathrim elf. Gundar too was one of the young elves who had taken part to the war of The Last Alliance, and then kept on fighting after it ended, by joining the new knighthood. Gundar commanded the Mithlond Group. He was recommended to the knighthood by lord Cirdan. Gundar was a brown haired heavily build tough fighter. Of all the chieftains Gundar was the closest to common people. He was a good tracker and a promising strategist, and was filled with ambition and thirst for glory. Gundar had many close friends among the knights, and made new ones easily with his plain manners and cheerful mood. He fought with spear and sword, and used both well. Gundar was killed in Redhorn Pass when commanding the escort of lady Celebrian, who was subsequently captured. Only a few years before Redhorn Pass Gundar and his Mithlond Group had been transferred from Mithlond to Imladris, since situation in the Misty Mountains, Rhudaur and Rhovanion had worsened. Gundar trained sir Gwardur, who then became his pair.

LORD HALDURION OF DINLADE: (Halla – ndur – ion = Tall loyal son) Fourth chieftain of The Golden Flower. Haldurion was from a noble family of noldor, son of lord Volondil, who was a member of the council of Lindon. He was born around the war between Sauron and elves, and took part to the War of The Last Alliance as a young elf. Haldurion`s father was killed in battle of Dagorlad. His family manor was on the foothills of Emyn Beraid, in Dinlade. Haldurion was among the first ones to join the knighthood. He was recommended by underlord Narces. Haldurion commanded the Imladris Group of the knighthood. He seldom left the manor, being the most important assistant to lord Elrond in administrating Imladris. Haldurion had a lot of relatives and connections. He was generally thought to be the most intelligent of the chieftains, with a considerably strong spirit. Haldurion was the one who found answers to problems and made strategies and plans. All the reports from patrols went straight to him. Haldurion also helped to organise the meetings of the White Council and became an influential member of that council. He was a close friend with lord Glorfindel. Haldurion was not particularly good with any weapons. His best weapons were his mind and his charm. Haldurion and his Imladris Group fought well during the last attack of Angmar. They went to join the Green Brigade of Tharbad and helped the brigade to force it`s way north from Andrath and to defeat the army of Rhudaur. Haldurion remained in Middle Earth during the fourth age. Haldurion`s closest friend in the knighthood was sir Calden.

LORD GUNWE OF GREYWOOD: He was the fifth chieftain of the Golden Flower. He was known as Gunwe "the lonesome". Gunwe was the least famous of the chieftains, mostly because he was a political figure, representing the knighthood in Mithlond. There were no heroic stories linked to him, just hard work and loyalty to the cause. Gunwe never married and had no close companions or relatives, which gave him the nick "lonesome". He was a highborn noldo who had arrived from Tol Eresseä with the Valarin army during the War of Wrath, and then stayed in Middle-Earth. It is said that Gunwe was a son of prince Gilfanon`s cousin. During the third age he was already quite advanced in years. Gunwe was a graceful extremely polite old style noble, who was perfect for a diplomatic assignment. He was not a particularly skillful fighter. Gunwe`s manor was in Greywood, some 30 kilometres north from Mithlond, on the river Lhun. He stayed in Mithlond during the fourth age.

SIR SUILLION: Sixth chieftain of the Golden Flower. He was youngest of the chieftains. Suillion was a noldo from Imladris. He was born just before the Last Alliance, and joined the knighthood before first attack of Angmar. He was a brilliant swordman and a charismatic leader, who however often acted rashly and took too many risks. He was also somewhat vain and made enemies easily. Generally knights however liked him, since he was a bold leader and cheerful person. Suillion was promoted into a chieftain after sir Gundar was killed, mostly because he had a major part in freeing lady Celebrian. Before the promotion Suillion was the third knight. He was promoted over unwilling Derufin and enraged Lawhir, mainly because he had such a great support from many young knights. This created much ill feelings and bitterness among the knighthood, and was a major cause of the friction that opened in the ranks during that time. Suillion took command of Gundar`s Mithond Group. He was killed during the orc-invasion to Eriador, fighting a superior orc-force in Rhudaur, saving a village but getting his small force destroyed.

SIR DERUFIN: First elder knight of the Golden Flower. He was a grey-elf, born in Lindon. His family moved to Eregion when he was young. Derufin had a heart-brother called Dillian, who was a bold noldo warrior. Together they took part to the Mountains of Moon trip with Ecthelwion. Derufin`s family was killed when Eregion was destroyed. He and Dillian then moved to Imladris and served in the lord Echtelwion`s household company. Derufin and Dillian fought in war of The Last Alliance. Dillian was killed in Dagorlad. Derufin himself was badly wounded during the siege of Angband, but was saved by Galmir and Welden. After the war Derufin joined the new knighthood. He was well-liked and respected among the knights. Derufin was a serious, somewhat quiet dark-haired elf, who was experienced tracker and hunter. He was wise and careful thinker who liked to plan well and not take risks. Derufin liked to fight with spear, but was also a really good archer. He had all the support and ability to become a chieftain, but lacked drive and will to command others. Derufin didn`t belong to any of the Groups, but had a complete freedom of action. In the first days of the knighthood it was Derufin who was the main trainer of new knights. Later they all took great pride in claiming to be Derufin`s knights! He lacked good friends in the knighthood, with the exception of sir Welden. Derufin was moody and unable to forget his heart-brother Dillian. Only sense of duty towards his knights prevented him from being suicidal and seeking to join his brother in Mandos.

SIR FEREDIR: (Feredir = hunter) Second Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Sir Feredir was among the first to join the knighthood. He was a famous sinda hunter, who had led the scouts of the army of Eriador during the war of Last Alliance. Feredir was recommended by underlord Annael of Mithrim, who was his good friend. Feredir was short and quiet, but never hesitated to do his duty. He was an instrumental part of the knighthood until his death that came too soon. Feredir joined lord Ecthelwion to support the defence of Cardolan against Angmar and Rhudaur. He was killed next to Ecthelwion when the defence of the northern wall of Cardolan finally collapsed. Sir Feredir didn`t belong to any Groups, but worked directly under sir Digaine. During the first years of the knighthood he was the second trainer of new knights.

SIR LAWHIR: Second elder knight of the Golden Flower. Lawhir was son of Enlian, a noldo knight of the Holy Circle, who was killed in Dagorlad fighting a lord of the Nazguls. As a young knight Lawhir took part to the war of The Last Alliance and fought in Brown Lands, Morannon, Gorgoroth and Barad Dur. He then joined the knighthood and became one of the most important persons among the knights. He was recommended to the knighthood by lord Glorfindel. Lawhir was a good fighter with both spear and sword, but significantly sometimes liked to use a short "eket" sword instead of a broadsword. Lawhir took part to almost every major battle that was fought in Eriador during the third age. He had several close friends and allies especially among the noldo knights, but was also quite close to sir Welden. If Derufin was close with Talwe, Lawhir was similarly close with Delemir. He was known for his outspoken manners and sharp criticism. Because of this, apprentices held him a bit in awe. Towards his friends and the mission Lawhir was always true, and was known as Lawhir "the faithfull". More often, though, he was known as Enlion Lawhir, and his friend always called him Enlion. In 2000s Lawhir was the second in command of the Eastern Group, which was based in Imladris. Often Lawhir in practise commanded the Group, because Delemir had to take care of his duties as the ranking chieftain. Lawhir fought with Glorfindel against Angmar and in the times of the orc invasion he led Eastern Group to join the rangers and Talwe in battle of Northdowns. Lawhir was killed in Forsaken Inn a few years after Northdowns, while trying to save the life of Delemir from assassins. He trained his younger brother Cadhir, who then became his pair.

SIR CANDON: (Can – don = commanding swarthy person) Fourth Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Candon was a rare person among the knighthood, being a laiquendi elf. Candon was born in mid second age in Forlindon. He was quite tall and strong for a green-elf, with long brown hair and piercing green eyes. Candon was a good tracker and hunter, and had some leadership capabilities, including a driving personality united with a diplomatic skills and ability to convince others of his views. Candon took part to the Last Alliance, as a young elf, and fought in Dagorlad, Morannon and Barad Dur. He joined the knighthood before first attack from Angmar, seeing the danger that awakening evil was. Candon was a somewhat difficult and bitter person. He was reputed to be a personal friend with prince Dahas, which made him somewhat notarious and well known. This together with ambition, fame as the only laiquendi in the knighthood, and his unquestionable abilities, made him a raising force in the knighthood. He had a considerable influence, which he was eager to further, but was constantly overshadowed by the integrity of Derufin, and the abilities and fame of Lawhir and Welden. Candon`t knight pair was sir Targan. Candon had no close friends among the chieftains. He was at odds with Suillion, who got the promotion Candon wanted, and with sir Lawhir. Candon was the second in command of the Western Group, which was commanded by Talwe. He stayed in Middle Earth during the fourth age.

LORD GELDAR OF WESTBANK: (Gel – dar = Ceremonial elf) Fifth Elder knight of the Golden Flower. One of the few falathrim among the knighthood. His father was one of the lords of falathrim, and a distant relative to Cirdan himself. Geldar was born before the Last Alliance and fought there as a young elf. Right after the war he got into a conflict with his father, who was a close minded man, believing in the superiority of the nobility. Geldar joined the knighthood among the first knights, and was recommended by lord Cirdan. Geldar was as easy going person as someone with his education and background could be. He left his father`s mansion, directly on the westbank of Lhun from Mithlond, thence the name, and went to Mithlond and joined the knighthood, hoping to do some good instead of just "being noble". He dressed as everybody else, but his fine manners and good education and peculiar way of speaking marked him out even among the knights of the Golden Flower. Geldar became the lord of Westbank manor after his father died in the battle of Annuminas, where Angmar was defeated. He was extremely liked among the knights, being a person who liked to laugh and make others laugh. Geldar was famous for being able to keep his good mood in all the situations. His pair was sir Helan, who was trained by Geldar. Geldar was, not surprisingly, a close friend with sir Gundar. He was the second in command of the Mithlond Group. When this Group was transferred to Imladris in 2502 Geldar remained in Mithlond with a few knights. He stayed in Middle Earth during the fourth age.

SIR PERENDUR: (Per – ndur = Half loyal?) Sixth Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Perendur was one of the first to join the knighthood, recommended by Glorfindel himself. He was a tall and powerful noldo from Helevorn region. Perendur`s father was a feanorian knight and as a young elf Perendur joined the household company of prince Dahas and was his squire during the war of The Last Alliance. Perendur was wounded badly in Morannon but recovered. He was known for his valour and eagerly joined the new knighthood after the war. Soon he became an elder knight and took part to the battle of Annuminas, fighting well but getting seriously wounded. Perendur was the third in command of the Mithlond Group. Before the Redhorn Pass disaster he was transferred with his Group to Imladris. Perendur took part to the rescue of lady Celebrian. During battles of Greenfields and Northdowns he was escorting Elrond and Glorfindel to Mithlond with some of his knights. Perendur fought in most of the battles in Eriador and survived them all to follow Glorfindel to Tol Eressea in the fourth age. He trained sir Algol, but they never became a knight pair.

SIR CALDEN: (Cal – den = Shining maker) Seventh Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Sir Calden was born in Imladris about 500 years before the War of The Last Alliance. His father died in Morannon. His father was a noldo and mother a sinda. Calden joined the knighthood well before the first attack by Angmar. He was a strongly build tall knight whose valour was unquestionably. Calden was a close friend with sir Haldurion, and his sister was married to Haldurion. He was originally the third in command of the Imladris Group, but became second in command after sir Suillion was promoted. He was the only survivor from the ambush in Redhorn Pass, where sir Gundar was killed. Other knights killed were all Calden`s and this made him bitter. Calden then relentlessly hunted orcs in Eriador, often with sons of Elrond. He led a small force of the Imladris Group to Northdowns with Lawhir. Calden was killed two years after Northdowns during an operation in northern Rhudaur while saving a group of knights and rangers.

SIR SALBORN: Eight Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Salborn was something rare, a vanyar elf from Imladris. His grandfather had joined the War of Wrath and stayed in Middle Earth. Salborn was a mystical figure with deep knowledge and sharp mind. Perhaps after Haldurion he was the most intelligent of the knights. Salborn was among the first knights to join the knighthood. He befriended Delemir from the beginning and was his loyal supported. He was one of the bravest knights, however with only little leadership abilities. Salborn was a fighter and thinker, not a leader. This prevented him from rising further in the ranks and he had no ambitions to change this. Salborn was good archer and spearman. He was the third in command of the Western Group under Talwe. Salborn fought with Glorfindel and Talwe against Angmar and took part to the final ambush. He fought with Talwe in Northdowns. Salborn was killed while defending Lothlorien during the war of The Rings.

SIR AGAMOR MOREHTAR: (Mori – nehtar = black slayer = the one who slays the evil) Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Sir Agamor was born in Lindon in 2200s of the Second Age. He was the youngest elf ever to join the ranks of king Ereinion`s household company. Agamor went to the war of Last Alliance with the company. He fought well in Dagorlad and then distinguished himself in Osgiliath, being instrumental in destruction of the enemy supply column. This and other exploits made him a famous hero. After the war Agamor eagerly joined the knighthood, seeing it as a way to achieve further fame. He was recommended by Lord Gildor. Sir Agamor served in Eastern Group, where he, to his astonishment, found himself ranked by sir Enlion Lawhir. He was only eight elder knight of the Golden Flower and third in command of the group. Agamor set out to prove his worth and clearly aimed to be the next chieftain of the knighthood. He hunted orcs and criminals with fierceness and fury, soon achieving great fame in Eriador. Knights soon started to call him Morehtar! Agamor`s thirst for glory ended during the first invasion of Angmar, when he was tricked and manipulated by witch Derhal and ended up committing a suicide.

SIR FUINDIR: Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Sir Fuindir was a sinda from Imladris. He was fought in the ranks of the division of Imladris at the Last Alliance. After that he was among the first to join the knighthood. Fuindir belonged to the Eastern group and was it`s command knight, until both Einion and Agamor died. Then Fuindir was promoted to Elder knight. He was killed a few years before the second invasion of Angmar, while on a mission with sir Ellor. They died fighting troops of Rhudaur.

SIR DELFIN: (Del – fin = Walking tress or hair) Ninth elder knight of the Golden Flower. He became elder knight after sir Agamor died. Delfin was an experienced grey-elf with a curious look on his face. He often got easily excited. He was born before The Last Alliance, and like so many others, fought in the war. After the war he joined the knighthood with his brother Gilfin. He was recommended by lord Annael. They fought well against Angmar and Rhudaur, and quickly became important knights, among the core of the knighthood. Delfin was a good tracker and hunter, among the best in the knighthood. He also had considerable healer abilities. Delfin was close ally with sir Talwe. He was a good spearman. Delfin was the third in command of the Eastern Group.

SIR EINION OF WIGAMOR: (Eina – ion = happy person) Sir Einion was born after war between Sauron and Elves. His home was a small manor of Wigamor in East Lindon, near harbour of Green Haven. Einion was a childhood friend of such characters as Darchas and Myndagen. When they became full of age they went together to join the household company of the local lord, Galendil. Thus Einion became a knight. He was trained by commander of the company, sir Carangor. Einion took part to the unhappy reconnaissance mission to Mordor, during which sir Carangor was killed. Einion took part to the war of the Last Alliance. He fought well at Dagorlad and was slightly wounded during the storming of Morannon. Einion was a thoughtful person, who considered everything carefully. He had an unusually strong spirit, which made him see visions from the future and present. This made elves say that Einion was close to Eru! His favourite! Einion fought at Gorgoroth and then fell out with his old friend Darchas, who was turning into something dark. In protest Einion left the company, disgusted with all the killing, and joined the healers of the army. With his strong fea he soon became excellent healer, and later was called Fallaner, healer! In the end of the siege of Barad Dur Einion had to fight again, and he found the balance between killing and healing. After the war he married the sister of lord Gellan of Greenhaven. When the knighthood was found, Einion was among the first to join it. He was recommended by lord Glorfindel, who saw considerable trouble in making sure Einion would join. Glorfindel deeply felt that the future of the knighthood depended on it! Einion soon found from him the powers that Glorfindel saw all the time. Even though underlord Narces made sure that he became only youngest of the elder knights, and fourth in command of the Eastern Group, Einion soon became an important and powerful figure in the knighthood. His brilliant future was cut short by the sword of his childhood friend Darchas during the first invasion of Angmar. Einion however left behind his excellent pair sir Athir, whom he had himself trained to be the best knight! He also left behind his young son Gwardur and a fame that would never diminish!

SIR WELDEN: Tenth elder knight of the Golden Flower. Welden was a son of Hathaldir, a Nandor chieftain from Eregion. His mother was a noldo, daughter of Herthir, who had once been the captain of the household company of Maedhros himself. Thanks to this, Welden inherited the best parts from both people. He got his strength, both inner and outer, from his mother, as well as his looks. From his father Welden got his calm manners, endurance and hunters abilities. After siege of Barad Dur he was often called Welden of Eregion. Welden was born in Imladris, and as a young elf went to the War of The Last Alliance. His father died in the battle of Dagorlad and mother right after that. Welden befriended sir Derufin and sir Dillian and fought at Dagorlad. He was the messenger of lord Ecthelwion, who greatly liked the young elf. Welden took part to the storming of the Gate Fortress at Barad Dur. He saved Derufin`s life there. After the war Welden joined the knighthood as the only one recommended and recruited by of lord Ecthelwion. These two had a close relationship, and Ecthelwion saw in Welden a great destiny. During the training Welden learned healing under teaching of sir Einion, and soon became the expert in healing. He was also great in tracking and hunting. He was excellent with sword, though not the best. He was also excellent with spear, and an elite archer. It is said that Welden was not best in anything, but extremely good in everything. This made him, as sir Talwe once said, "the ultimate warrior". Welden was a complex person. His patience and compassion was almost limitless, yet he sometimes could be quite depressed, while in another time was quick to laugh. All agreed that Welden was an extremely easygoing person. Almost nothing made him worried. After Ecthelwion died Welden had not many close friends in the knighthood. During the training he had some friends, but only sir Merdal of them survived. Welden also had a brief romance with a beautiful elven maiden Derhal, who however run off with the fugitive sir Darchas. Considering other friends, slowly he grew fond of sir Perendur and his friendship with sir Derufin went all the way back to the battle of Dagorlad. During the last fight against Angmar he promised to dying sir Bendar to train his novice, Maitren. Welden and Maitren soon became a tight knight pair. Sir Maitren was a nephew of sir Delemir. This made Welden an important mediator between Delemir and Talwe, since he was close with both Derufin and Maitren. Later so well known friendship between Hallas and Welden grew slowly, and in the early 2000s they were no more than in friendly relations. His most important connection Welden however formed with sir Athir, who in 2200s became his heart-brother. Among the knighthood Welden was the rising star. He started from the bottom, with no friends or allies. Though he was a bit loner, knights generally liked him, and slowly his position rose. In the later times Welden was excessively important figure in the knighthood. He was promoted to Tenth knight and fourth in command of the Eastern Group just before the last battle against Angmar. The position had become open when sir Einion died. Welden lacked the will and ambition to take strong responsibility and become a chieftain, but had clear leadership abilities and much drive. Welden was a good strategist and planner, with a quick and sharp mind. In late 2000s he became quite independent figure, who seemed to be everywhere all the time, seeking clues against dark plans and conspiracies he suspected were taking place. Welden fought well at Northdowns and was instrumental in the destruction of Revenia.

SIR MYNDAGEN: Eleventh Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Myndagen was a noldo from Mithlond. He was born in the mid Second Age and joined the Army of Eriador during The Last Alliance. He was a childhood friend of sir Darchas and sir Einion. Myndagen fought under Gildor and Erendur in Dagorlad and in Gorgoroth. After Dagorlad he became the most trusted friend of sir Darchas. The two were thence friends, until their roads parted when the knighthood was found. Myndagen was among the first persons to join the knighthood, recommended by lord Galendil. His raise in the ranks was not spectacular, but during the wars against Angmar he showed some leadership capabilities and was promoted to Elder knight. Sir Myndagen was a good friend and an ally of sir Suillion. He was the third in command of the Imladris Group. He had really cold relationship with sir Haldurion who commanded the Group. Myndagen was second-in-command when Suillion lead his knights from Imladris to help rangers and elves in Northdowns to repel an orc raid. He was killed together with Suillion and all the others when confronted by huge orc host. Myndagen was generally thought to be proud and somewhat vain person, with little inclination to listen advises from others.

SIR CHARDAN: Twelfth Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Chardan was the youngest of the Elder knights. He was one of the first to join the knighthood. Chardan belonged to the Mithlond Group, commanded by sir Gundar. He was promoted to an Elder knight when Gundar died and Suillion replaced him. Chardan was originally from Harlindon, where his father had been in the household company of king Galadhil. He didn`t talk much or commit himself easily into anything. Chardan always carefully considered his options. He was known to be one of the least martial knights. Chardan was killed by orcs while marching with Suillion to the Northdowns..

SIR GILFIN: (Gil – fin = Star hair) Younger knight of the Golden Flower. He was the brother of Delfin. These two were practically inseparable throughout their lives. Gilfin was cooler than his brother and often had a calming influence to others around him. He had a sharp mind and good diplomatic abilities. Gilfin was an expert archer and also a good tracker and hunter. He was a merry knight who was liked by many. Like his brother, he was close with Talwe. Gilfin belonged to the Eastern Group, and in 2000s he was groups ranking younger knight. He took part to almost every major battle and operation in Eriador.

SIR ATHIR WENDIR: (Auth – hir = War lord) Elder knight of the Golden Flower. Athir was a merry noldo from Harlond. His parents were followers of lord Guilin from Nargothrond, and Athir`s father had been Guilin`s squire in The War of The Last Alliance. Young Athir joined the knighthood in 1100, recommended by lord Guilin himself. Guilin also secured mighty sir Einion to be Athir`s trainer. In his training Athir became an excellent knight, who shined in combat skills, though never became the deep thinker Einion wanted him to be. Sir Einion died saving Athir during the first invasion of Angmar. Athir was one of the “basic” knights, who were always there, from battle to another, mission to another, saving everything and never getting hurt. Athir had no close friends before he befriended sir Welden during the last battle against Angmar. Later these two became heart-brothers and Athir was thence called Wendir. He belonged to the Eastern Group and was in almost all of the major battles in Eriador. He had a peculiar habit of wearing a bright red cloak in battles.

He had just received his knighthood, and been left to Imladris by sir Enlion Lawhir as too inexperienced, when he was ordered to march to the Northdowns with sir Suillion. Mondan died together with 30 other knigths, fighting side by side with sir Merdal.

SIR MEIRIAN OF GREENHAVEN: Younger knight of the Golden Flower. Meirian was a close relative of lord Gellan of Greenhaven. He was raised in Gellan`s manor, often together with his cousin Gwardur. When Meirian became full of age he emulated Gwardur and joined the knighthood. His cousin was then, despite his relative inexperience, ordered to train Meirian. He became sir Meirian just before the invasion of Balchoth, and the siege of Angrenost was Meirian`s first major battle. Sir Meirian survived the battle to become a close pair with sir Gwardur. He went with sir Callondir to Rohan during the war of the Rings. Meirian belonged to the Mithlond Group.

SIR AETHAL: Younger knight of the Golden Flower. Aethal was one of the newest knights of the Western Group. He was trained by lord Geldar. He was transferred from Mithlond to Imladris just before the mission to Dol Guldur. Aethal took part to the attack and fought well. He then resigned from the knighthood to marry Elrond`s foster-daughter Almiel. Aethal became Elrond`s adjutant and remained in Imladris in Fourth Age. He was a good friend with sir Cadhir.

SIR EMENGON: Younger knight of the Golden Flower. He was a grandson of lord Erestor. Emengon was a proud and ambitious knight. During the attack to Dol Guldur he was strongly influenced by Saruman the White, who persuaded Emengon to resign and enter the service of Angrenost.

SIR HENDERK: Younger knight of the Golden Flower. Henderk was a noldo from Imladris. He was a childhood friend of Gileas and joined the knighthood with him. Henderk believed passionately to the idealism of the knighthood and was devastated when Gileas resigned. Henderk was trained by sir Athir and then was to become his knight pair. However, Henderk was murdered during his first mission in Bree, after accidentally running into a secret meeting of some conspirators. He belonged to Eastern Group.
