Gil-galad Was An Elven King

This is a short film I had to make for a poetry project. The poem by J.R.R. Tolkien is found in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Music: Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Gil-galad
By: J.R.R. Tolkien

Gil-galad was an Elven-king.




Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen.
His shining helm afar was seen.
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
And where he dwelleth none can say.
For into darkness fell his star;
In Mordor, where the shadows are.

@abejok You are totally right. I mixed him up with the Black Numenorean who later became the Mouth of Sauron.

Gil Galad was the HIgh King of the Noldor and died at the end of the Second Age during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, when they besieged Sauron in Bard-dur for thirty years. Elendil, King of Gondor also died in that dread battle. I wish JRRT had done the story in more depth, but in truth there were more stories in Middle-earth than one man had time to tell I think.

@FinalFrontier0 i didn't knew it was so crappy like this lol

@ForWeAreLegion Not sure, but I think Gil-Galad was killed by Morgoth himself, into a direct confrontation? Into the Battle of Tears?
