Edrahil of Nargothrond

An Elf of Nargothrond, Edrahil was the greatest of the loyalists who refused to forsake their allegiance to King Finrod Felagund. Edrahil very perceptively persuaded Finrod to turn his crown and throne over to Orodreth, his own brother, instead of simply casting the authority away. Then he and nine others accompanied Finrod as he went with Beren and Luthien on the quest of the Silmaril. He perished with Finrod in Sauron's pits in Tol-in-Gaurhoth.
