Hirdûr

Hiradur was a shipwright in Ost-in-Edhil during the Second Age. He created elegant vessels to carry the dwellers of the city on the waters of the Sirannon. Shallops for lone Elves enjoying the stars, gondolas for twosomes or threesomes, and swan-boats for more—all emerged from Heladur's shipyards, adjacent to the Pelonde (S. "Fenced Haven") of Ost-in-Edhil. Hiradur was an impressive Noldo; he stood 6'6" and boasted a broad chest and well-muscled arms. His empathy for water-craft stemmed from a love of the sea. The crash of waves and the cries of sea-birds ever haunted his dreams, eventually compelling him to leave Ost-in-Edhil for the West.
