ParentageSilmariën and Elatan
Physical Description

Valandil was the son of Elatan of Andúnië and Silmariën, the eldest daughter of Tar-Elendil, the fourth King of Númenor. He founded the line of the Lords of Andúnië, who ruled the city on the western shores of the island kingdom of Númenor. Though he did not belong to the direct royal line, he remained close to the royal house, and was important among the Council of the Sceptre (a post he passed on to his descendants).


In the story of Aldarion and Erendis, Valandil held a feast around Second Age 700 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Guild of Venturers and another feast for Aldarion and Erendis after their wedding in 870.
