Kedin

Kedin was the Realms-Master of the Great King Bladorthin. Kedin, an influential elf and friend to King Bladorthin. Was renowned in defending Dorwinion from Rhun, Khand, and Mordor forces. Kedin had earned lands, wealth, and a personal seat with the king. Bladorthin shared his most intimate secrets with Kedin and trusted him with his life.

Eventually, word had reached Kedin's ear from a fellow elf with claims that Bladorthin was not related to Thingol, but instead a descendant of Narthseg, the elf who was a traitor to his own kind, and responsible for Doriath's inevitable fall. From this knowledge, Kedin slew the elf and spoke nothing more of the encounter with Melin.

With Melin's death, Kedin continued defending Dorwinion and witnessed the deaths of Bladorthin's son and grandson. During a time of drunken stupor, Bladorthin ranted about his line ending. It was here that Kedin approached the king and spoke about Melin's words. Bladorthin, in his inebriated state, told Kedin that he was in fact the son of Narthseg and that his parents were not slain in the First Battle of Beleriand and nor was he related to Thingol. Kedin then slew Bladorthin in a rage and covered the scene to make it look like a depressed suicide. Kedin, as the head realms-master was then appointed as the ruler of Dorwinion.

Kedin would continue ruling and trading as Bladorthin had done, he ruled during the time of T.A. 2941, but eventually he met his end, poisoned by a human who sought power and proved that Bladorthin's death came at the hands of Kedin.
