Forlong makes an impression of sheer, weathered solidity: broad shoulders, great girth, a grey beard, and armor that speaks before he does. There is an old lord’s weight to his presence, made all the more striking by the long spear in his grasp.

Forlong, Lord of Lossarnach, answers Gondor’s call with a mounted force and rides to the Pelennor to aid Éomer. The old lord fights among the relief forces alongside other captains of Gondor, bringing his people’s strength to the desperate defense of Minas Tirith. His name remains among the lords who gave their aid in the war against Sauron.
Description
Forlong is an old, powerfully broad man of immense girth, with a weathered face and a grey beard. Mail covers him, and a black helmet crowns his head, giving his heavy, formidable silhouette a hard edge. He bears a long, heavy spear, and his presence is as solid and imposing as his build.
