[edit] Biography

Born in TA 2626 Egalmoth, was the grandson of Morwen, the daughter of Belecthor I, and the great-nephew of Orodreth.

When, the seventeenth Ruling Steward Ecthelion I died in TA 2698 without issue, Egalmoth succeeded his cousin as Steward.

The majority of Egalmoth's rule passed uneventfully; however, three years before his death in TA 2740 the orcs renewed their war on Gondor.

Egalmoth died in TA 2743 at the age of 117 years old after a rule of forty-five years, and was succeeded by his son Beren.
