High King Elendil the Tall - Epic Character History

High King Elendil the Tall was the leader of the Faithful Númenóreans and the first High King of the Men of the West. It was he who led his Faithful from Númenor and it was he who stood against Sauron at the end of the Second Age. Today, we explore this great king’s history as it stands in Tolkien’s works. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on Elendil in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
