The One Wiki to Rule Them All


"It is not easy for us to tell the difference between two mortals."
Lindir to Bilbo Baggins[1]

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 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.[1]
