Last High King of the Elves in Middle-Earth. One of my fave characters, and totally stiffed of screentime in the movies!


The Second Fall of Gil-galad

Gil-galad was an Elvenking
Of him the purists sadly sing
For in the prologue of the first movie
Indistinguishable perished he

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
But all this went pretty much unseen,
In the melee of Weta's battlefield
Sole Hugo Weaving was revealed.

From movieverse he rode away,
And where he dwelleth none may say,
For into darkness fell his star;
On disc three where the extras are.

By me, after Tolkien in FOTR.

Great poem. :worship: I always thought Elrond was the elf king, but I guess it's because I didn't do any further digging into the Tolkien universe, nor was interested in the same, until now.

Elrond was the Herald of Gil-galad in The Last Alliance of Elves & men, and also his vice regent in Eriador, but thus not King.

Love it!

Now I'm picturing him as a marshmallow Easter candy from the "Lord of the Peeps" website.... Like Figpeep, the unnamed elf extra at Elrond's conference.

GIL-GALAD! My darling! Take me away!

Man, I wish Gil-galad had a bigger role in the movie. I totally would've loved to see him and Sauron duking it out!

*sobs* My beautiful, beautiful Gil-galad...
