Amandir

Amandir, Lord of Hirilionath, is the eldest of the Tier lords of Gondor, and his memory reaches back unto the boyhood of the Steward himself. His seat is at Ethring above the fords of the Ringlo, in upland Lamedon, where the hill-spearmen have served his house for nine generations. He bears the silver-on-sable banner of his fathers, and the long sword Tirnaith, named for a kinsman lost at the Dagorlad of old. In the matter of the king out of the North, Amandir has cast his weight with the claimant, holding that the Steward's oath was sworn until the king should come again, and that this hour, ere he himself passes, is that hour.
