==History==
After the Sons of Feanor destroyed Beleriand, Elrond was moved to Lindon along with his brother. Like all half-elves, he is given a choice to be immortal or live among men. Elrond chose to live among his brethren and become immortal unlike his brother Elros. Gil-galad recruited Elrond as his herald during the Second Age. Eventually, during the war between the Elves and Sauron's forces, Gil-galad sent Elrond to lead Elven reinforcements to defend Eregion and drive the Dark Lord's army into Moria. However, they arrived too late and weren't large or collectively powerful enough to defeat them, so Elrond retreated to a valley where he established a settlement that would later be called Rivendell.
Elrond was later a commander of the Last Alliance between Men and Elves. Gil-galad and Elendil led the Alliance into Barad-dur. Sauron was defeated in the battle, but Elendil and Gil-galad were killed as well. Elrond got married in the beginning of the Third Age and had a daughter named Arwen. 
During the Third Age, he was a major ally of Arnor in their battle against the Witch-King. Despite the kingdom's fall, Elrond drove the Witch-King's armies back and helped hide the remnants of Dunedain.
