- "The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars. Venerable he seemed as a king crowned with many winters, and yet hale as a tried warrior in the fulness of his strength. He was the Lord of Rivendell and mighty among both Elves and Men."
- —The Fellowship of the Ring, "Many Meetings"
Elrond Half-Elven was the Lord of Rivendell. During the Third Age, he was the keeper of Vilya, one of the Elven Rings of Power. His home was a place of rest and safety in Eriador, and was also the home for the Heirs of Isildur in their youth.
Elrond is the Ring hero of the Imladris faction, although his system is a bit special. See the Ring Hero section below.
Abilities[]
Level 1: Rage of the Loudwater - Elrond uses Vilya to raise the waters of the Bruinen in defense of his people, summoning a powerful flood in the form of 3 mighty horses to crush enemies in the target area.

Ring Mechanic[]
- "The Company of the Ring shall be Nine; and the Nine Walkers shall be set against the Nine Riders that are evil."
- —Elrond, The Fellowship of the Ring, "The Ring Goes South"
When Elrond picks up the Ring, he will be able to summon the powerful hero horde of the Fellowship of the Ring. They will carry the Ring and fight for Imladris. If all members of the Fellowship are killed, the Ring will be dropped. Elrond remains unchanged. The fellowship collectively counts as one hero but has individual units. Heroes in the Fellowship have significantly less health than their individual versions.
Trivia[]
- In a team match if two players are playing together as Imladris, then it is possible to cheese the whole game if they both manage to get Elrond to level 7. The players can then use restoration on each other's Elrond to constantly recharge their abilities, including restoration, instantly. With this tactic the entire map can become a natural disaster area with constant floods and tornadoes.
