"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."

I think I like Gil-Galad because he to me seems like the perfect example of an 'enlightened' ruler, or at least leader. It's the sort of character that if I were living during that age then I would be immensely proud to serve him! I have to admit though.. I don't know what the Lay of the Leithen is..

Yep, I left that pesky second "i" out of it. Sorry.
