'''Duinhir''' was the tall lord of the [[Blackroot Vale]], the valley of the River [[Morthond]] in western [[Gondor]], under the shadows of the [[White Mountains]]. Like most of the [[Gondorians|Gondorian]] lords, he went to the support of [[Minas Tirith]] in the [[War of the Ring]], taking with him five hundred archers, and also his sons [[Duilin of Blackroot Vale|Duilin]] and [[Derufin]]. Though we have an account of his sons' heroic loss in the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], history records no mention of Duinhir's own fate. Given his absence from the lists of fallen warriors, he presumably survived the War and returned to his own land beyond [[Tarlang's Neck]], though this cannot be stated with certainty.
