AMROTH
Sindarin Elf, King of
Lórien, beloved of Nimrodel,
Amroth ruled Lórien since his father Amdir was
slain in the Battle of Dagorlad. When Nimrodel fled
south, Amroth followed, found her and vowed that for her sake he will leave his
people and together with her seek passage over the Sea. When
Nimrodel was lost in the White Mountains, Amroth waited
for her on a ship until a great storm carried the ship away from land. In
despair Amroth leapt into the sea to swim to the shore and was never seen
again.
The name 'Amroth' means 'upclimber, high climber' and is said to be his nickname derived from his dwelling in a high flet on the top of the great hill of Cerin Amroth which was named after him.
