Chapters Past |
Gilithion, whose mother name is Ilmarion, and his twin sister, Isiliel, were born in Rivendell in TA 2349, eleven years before the end of the Watchful Peace. Being raised in Rivendell meant that Gilithion was sheltered from the outside world. Unfortunately, even in Rivendell one cannot escape the problems and evils of the Third Age forever. In TA 2509 the weight of the TA came crashing down on Gilithion. His father, Culúnar, was escorting Celebrían, Elrond’s wife, to Lorien when they were ambushed in Redhorn Pass. Culúnar fought bravely but a cruel arrow found its mark, leaving Gilithion and Isiliel without a father. Later that year he approached Glorfindel about learning to wield a sword. Since then he has dedicated himself to protecting those traveling around Rivendell and occasionally accompanying Elladan and Ellrohir.
During the War of the Ring, Gilithion was helping prepare the defenses of Rivendell, scouting or attending council meetings with Elrond and Glorfindel. He wished to follow Elrohir and Elladan to Gondor but Glorfindel asked him to remain incase The Enemy decided to attack.
Gilithion currently finds himself in Gondor. In TA 3019 he helped to escort Lord Elrond and Lady Arwen to Gondor. After attending the wedding of Arwen and King Aragorn, Gilithion decides not to return immediately to Rivendell. Instead he travels south west to Edhellond, where is Grandmother had once lived. He spends a year there before returning to Minas Tirith.
Linage
Gilithion traces his linage to Gondolin and the House of the Fountain. His Great Grandmother, Ëariel, was the sister of Ecthelion.
Interesting facts
Gilithion means "Son of Starlight" in Sindarin. HIs twin sister's name means "Daughter of Moonlight".
Gilithion was born during the reign of Hador, 7th ruling Steward of Gondor. This was a year after Aragorn I was killed by wolves. Gilithion would probably have known every Chieftain of the Dunedain from Araglas until Aragorn II, an eleven Chieftains in total.

Rewards & Virtues
Rewards
- Lesser Ring of Power: You have inherited a lesser ring, one of the many magic rings that the smiths of Eregion made as essays in their craft before it was fully developed. While certainly not comparable to the major works of those gifted craftsmen, this magic ring is a powerful and dangerous artefact, to be kept secret and safe. Choose one of your Attributes, among Body, Heart or Wits. As long as you wear your lesser ring you gain a bonus of +1 to the basic rating of the chosen Attribute (and therefore its Favoured attribute is also increased by +1). Additionally, you also gain 1 point of permanent Shadow.
- The ring affects Wits
Virtues
- Beauty of the Stars: Your beauty is so unearthly that all but the hardest- hearted of Mortals can gaze upon you and not be swayed – or bewitched – by your countenance, even if afterwards they retain only a vague memory of anything but your glory. Raise your maximum Hope score by 2 points. Additionally, you receive a bonus Success die to use during the introduction step of any Encounter. Finally, for every Gandalf result on the Feat die you get during the interaction step pick one of the following bonuses:
- When resolving the encounter, the company counts as having scored an additional success.
- After resolving an encounter with Mortals, choose a subject: that character retains only the vaguest memory of what was said or agreed.
Special Items
Wondrous Artefact
- Collar crafted by Saruman
- The bearer of this collar enjoys a free Wisdom bonus, equal to their Wisdom score, to all rolls made using the skill persuade.
- A hero using a Wondrous Artefact may spend 1 point of Hope to turn a successful die roll made using the affected skill into a Magical result. A Magical result indicates that the outcome of the task did not only surpass all expectations, but achieved something beyond the hero’s normal capabilities; in other words, a feat that could hardly be accomplished by the companion without a magical aid.
