Great falcons of Ardor

GREATFALCONS OF ARDOR:

These fierce creatures were the preferred mounts of the Lords of the Air of the Court of Ardor in southern Middle-earth. They were perhaps developed from the Great Falcons of Mirkwood (see below). This fact would have been known to Sauron, who could have shared his knowledge with the evil Elda Court. The fiercest of these Falcons were tied to specific of the Windlords by magical means. Their loyalty to their masters was unswerving, and no one else could ride them unless they could somehow overcome the will of the Falcons by magical means. Sûlroch, Elros, and Gilsûl, Finest Falcons of Ardor. These

mighty birds were the steeds of Sûlherok, Messenger of the Court ofArdor, and Valkrist, the Court 's Lord of Arms (who had the latter two at his disposal).
