Lindir

Lindir was an Elf of unknown kindred residing in Rivendell when Frodo met Bilbo there in TA 3018.
== Biography ==
Lindir was a listener at one of Bilbo's poetry readings at Rivendell. He may have been a minstrel as implied by his name. After Bilbo finished reciting the The Short Lay of Eärendel: Eärendillinwë, Lindir said he could not tell which parts Aragorn wrote and what parts were written by Bilbo, because all mortals seem alike to Elves.The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I: The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Ch. I: "Many Meetings"
