Galdor of the Grey Havens arrives as an Elf messenger at Rivendell, seated among the council where he cries out sharp questions about the Ring and shares news from the Elves. His brief role highlights the interconnected web of elven communications across Middle-earth. Though minor, he adds urgency to the gathering's debates on the growing shadow.

Description

Galdor is a slender ancient Elf with a sea-faring look, his fair elven features marked by bright, alert eyes and long hair touched by wind and salt. He has the graceful build of his kind, dressed in practical elven garb suited for travel—perhaps a grey cloak and sturdy boots. His presence is one of quiet intensity, seated with poised readiness.
