'''Hallas''' ([[Third Age 2480]] – 2605, aged 125 years) was the illustrious son and heir of [[Stewards|Steward]] [[Cirion]] of Gondor, who first ruled in [[Minas Tirith]] while his father still lived, during the time of the war with the [[Balchoth]]. Cirion went to fight in that war, and left Hallas in command of the City of [[Gondor]]. In that war, too, [[Eorl]] brought his [[Northmen]] to the aid of Gondor, and after Gondor's enemies were defeated, Cirion gifted him the green land of [[Calenardhon]] as a reward. Hallas was a witness to the [[Oath of Eorl|Oath of Cirion and Eorl]], in which the two leaders stood beside the [[Tomb of Elendil]] and promised a bond of friendship between their two nations. It was Hallas, indeed, who renamed Calenardhon as [[Rohan]], and gave its new people the name [[Rohirrim]] ("Horse-lords").

Little is recorded of Hallas after he succeeded his father as Steward.

At the great feast to celebrate the raising of the Hall, King [[Brego]]'s son [[Baldor]] made his rash promise to enter the [[Paths of the Dead]], which led to his loss in the mountains. It is even possible that Hallas was present in person at that feast, though no record exists to prove this.

In some early variants of the [[Quenta Silmarillion]] [[legendarium]], published in [[The History of Middle-earth]] series, Hallas is also the name of the son of [[Orodreth of Nargothrond|Orodreth]]. He was replaced by [[Gil-galad]], later [[High King of the Noldor]], who in the published ''[[The Silmarillion]]'' is made into [[Fingon]]'s son instead. That Orodreth's son was named Hallas was an earlier idea, but Gil-galad replaced him. In the published ''Silmarillion'', Orodreth has no son.
