Brief history: Son of Amroth and Nimrodel, born in the deserted Elf haven of Edhellond south of the Ered Nimrais Brief history of Amroth and Nimrodel:
The story of Amroth, King of Lorinand [ later Lothlórien] and the Elf-Maid Nimrodel, is taken from Unfinished Tales. Amroth loved Nimrodel for many years and she, he, but she refused to marry him . When the Dwarves, delving too deep for Mithril in Khazad Dum, awoke Durin's Bane, the Balrog, Nimrodel fled from Lorinand. Amroth found her in the Ered Nimrais and they plighted their troth and Amroth was to have lead her to the southern Elf-Haven of Edhellond. In the White Mountains they became separated and Amroth, coming to the harbor, found only one elven ship left there, ready to depart. Such was his grief that he pleaded that the mariners wait for Nimrodel. This they did for several weeks, until a vast storm came from the north and tore their ship from it's moorings and drove it out to sea. Amroth , calling his love's name leaped over the side and the Elves saw him battling the waves, as he fought to swim ashore. It was never known what became of either Amroth or Nimrodel, so I have used the story as a basis for this. The description of Nimrodel, is, of course, taken from the Song that Legolas sang when the Fellowship had crossed into Lorien and the river which bore her name. She and Amroth were both golden haired and passed this on to their son. In this story, Amroth is not the son of Galadriel,[ as one version suggests] but the son of Amdir, a Sindar, kin to Thranduil. Nimrodel was met in the White Mountains by a strange Elf who aided her in finding Edhellond; however, she knew in her heart that her betrothed was surely dead and she died herself after giving birth. She and Amroth were buried beside the sea, and Elgalad was raised by the stranger for fifty years until he reached Elven adulthood. During that time his mentor slowly took him north and eventually to Mirkwood where Elgalad was trained as a warrior and pledged allegiance to King Thranduil.
Other: Elgalad does not know his parentage, he always called the one who raised him his '' Lord. ''
