Other : One of the greatest Elves in the history of Middle-earth,Elrond was born at the Havens of Sirion late in the First Age.During their sack,he and his brother Elros were taken captive by the Sons of F�anor but Maglor took pity on them and released them.When they were rescued,Elrond was found playing in a cave beneath a waterfall and so received his name.Elrond means 'Elf of the Cave'.Both of Elrond's parents were half-elven and after the War of Wrath he was given a choice;whether to be counted amongst the kindred of Elves or of Men.He chose the Firstborn and remained in Lindon with High King Gil-galad.After the invasion of Eriador by Sauron in the mid-Second Age,Elrond founded a refuge there in a deep hidden valley;this was named Imladris or Rivendell in the Common Speech.After Sauron's defeat by Tar-Minastir of N�menor,Elrond remained in Rivendell,where he prospered with the aid of the Great Ring,Vilya.Elrond played a great part in the histories of the Second and Third Ages;he marched with Gil-galad and Elendil to the War of the Last Alliance and was a leading member of the White Council.At the time of the Council of Elrond in 3018 (Third Age),he had dwelt in Middle-earth for some 6,500 years.
