Basic Info| Name: | Lord Penlod |
|---|---|
| Website: | The Gondolin RPG Website |
BioName: Penlod, son of Alquarossë, or Alphros in Sindarin
Approximate Age: Born in approximately 1177 Years of the Tree
Race: Half-Noldor, Half-Vanyar
Occupation: Lord of the House of the Pillar of Snow and the House of the Tower
Biography:
Penlod was born of a Noldorin father and a Vanyarin mother, and he has a sister, Anaire. He did not follow his mother to live under Taniquetil, opting instead to stay at Tirion, studying under Rúmil. On one of his visits to his mother’s family, he met a Noldorin weaver, Yelinnis, who was a pupil of Míriel. They wedded in 1321, and Nimril, their only daughter, was born in 1384.
Traditionally his family was in charge of the King’s Tower, in Tirion. It gradually developed into a proper House, the House of the Tower. When his sister, Anaire, wedded Fingolfin, son of Finwe, Penlod was given a House of his own, the House of the Pillar of Snow, named due to his closeness with the Vanyar and the sacred mountain.
He distrusted Feanor and did not take part in the rivalry of the Noldor, in the later days of growing unrest. Perhaps it was because he and Feanor’s temperaments were vastly different. He preferred instead to spend his time in the Great Library, or partaking in scientific discussions. His wife perished in the crossing of the Helcaraxe, and he never totally forgave Feanor.
When most of the Noldor decided to leave Valinor, Penlod was obliged to go because of Fingolfin, and also because he felt outraged at Morgoth for slaying Finwe. After the Kinslaying at Alqualonde, his father Alphros turned back, disenchanted, and he took over the management of both Houses, his father’s and his own, for a large part of the House of the Tower still desired to follow Feanor.
He assented to follow Turgon, mainly because Fingolfin wanted someone he trusted to be with his son, whom he could not see for long periods of time. This is how Penlod became to be in Gondolin, although he prefers Hithlum to a lesser replica of Tirion. A firm advocate of the fealty system, he is strictly loyal to Turgon. His shield bears a design of a tower, set against a white background, while the Pillar of Snow’s shield is pure white. He wields a sword and a pair of daggers in battle.
