Lloyd Owens discusses Elendil's torn loyalties on LOTRonPrime .
One of the most iconic names in the lore of J.R.R. Tolkien is that of Elendil . In Peter Jackson’s adaptation, many are familiar with the weapon known as the sword of Elendil also known as Narsil. Elendil will rise during the course of his lifetime, to become friends with some of the most powerful elves ever to walk Middle-earth and rule as High King over the Kingdoms of the Dúnedain, Arnor and Gondor.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Some people believe the meaning of names can affect the lives of those who bear them. For Elendil, the meaning of his name is one that could put him in harm’s way. Meaning “one who loves the stars” but more delicately “elf-friend”, Elendil’s name could have him viewed as a threat by the elf-hating people of Númenór.
The island kingdom of Númenór was granted to men who had sided with the elves during the war against Morgoth in the First Age. These men were granted longer life spans, wisdom and insight to eclipse anything that the other men of Middle-earth could accomplish. However, these men began to turn away from the elves, the Valar and the worship of Eru Ilúvatar. As Owen explains, “there is a little divide in Númenór between the old faithful and the elven past.
