History
Eldarion's birth was significant in that he represented the union of the lines of Elros (through Aragorn) and Elrond (through Arwen) separated for millennia.

A hundred-and-five years after the fall of the Dark Tower, he encountered a renewal of Morgoth-worship during his reign.

His name in Quenya means "Scion of the Eldar". In Letter 338, J.R.R. Tolkien spelled this name Eldaron, this is probably a typographic error.
