Eärnil of Girithlin

The uncle of the fief's heir Echorion, Eärnil ruled Girithlin as regent.Earnil was one of the few modern Dúnedain who approached the height of their ancestors, standing 7’3” tall. He had the martial skills that might be expected of a man of his size, and he was bold and forward in battle. He was an unmistakable figure on public occasions, noted for his brooding crimson robes, and his refusal to hide his balding pate beneath a convenient helm. For all of his manifest virtues, Earnil was at least the most conniving, if not the most ruthless of the Princes of Cardolan. He had has never been directly implicated in any treachery, but he had lived too long not to have had the rumor mill catch up with him. He was no longer trusted by anyone except, perhaps, his nephew. Although Earnil was once content to rule from the shadows, he had grown to like the trappings of power during the regency.
