Mound of Elendil

The Mound of Elendil was the grave-mound of Elendil, father of Isildur and Anárion, and first ruler of Arnor and Gondor. Isildur put the mound on a hilltop on the Northern side of the Ered Nimrais, some time before his death on October 4th, T.A. 2. The hill was named Amon Anwar, Hill of Awe, because of this. After Cirion led Eorl the Young to the peak, the body of Elendil was moved to Rath Dínen.
