Duinhir was lord of the Blackroot Vale at the time of the War of the Ring.

[edit] History

On 10 March, T.A. 3019,[2] Duinhir led a contingent of five hundred bowmen as well as his two sons, Duilin and Derufin, into Minas Tirith to fight in the upcoming battle.[1] Sadly, Lord Duinhir lost both of his sons in the fray (on 15 March[2]) when they were trampled by mûmakil while attempting to shoot out the monsters' eyes.[3]

[edit] Etymology

Duinhir means "River-lord" in Sindarin.
