Círdan
In the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, Círdan (the carpenter of ships in Quenya) is a Elfe belonging to the Teleri remained in Ground of the Medium. Is its true, and not very used name, is Nowë (that l´on can bring closer phonetically, but really a chance? , of Noah of the Bible and his Arch, many common points existing between them two)
He and its people remained in Beleriand to seek their lord Elwë, lost and bewitched: therefore they are called Eglain, the abandoned ones. They were established close to the littoral, and friends of Ossë, they were named Falathrim, people of the coast: it was Círdan which directed them, although itself never took the title of King, because he recognized the authority of Elwë, his lord. Círdan was more the adviser of Thingol that his vassal (for example, he taught him the rumors from the crimes committed by Noldor before their arrival in Beleriand).
On the coast, it based the two harbors of Brithombar and Eglarest. After Nirnaeth Arnoediad, it had to flee on the island of Balar, in the south: it communicated by the river with Turgon and learned navigation with Eärendil. It is said that it accepted the gift of prophecy and that the Valar spoke by its mouth. It also maintained great relations d´amitié with Ereinon Gil-Galad, the son of Fingon qu´il accommodated after the Fourth battle.
After the destruction of Beleriand it is established in Lindon and founded the Gray Havres (Mithlond). It tied friendly relations with the navigator Aldarion, King de Numenor, like with the High-King of the Elves Gil-Galad, of which it accepted Narya, the Ring of Fire. It gave later this last to Gandalf when this one arrived, and it was the only one namely by or the magician came. So it was more clear-sighted than whoever out of Ground of the Medium, and one thinks qu´il was only, at least before qu´il n´en speaks with Galadriel and Elrond, to guess the true identity of the Istari.
He is the only Elf born with always alive Cuiviénen on the Earth of the Medium at the time of the War of the Ring. So he is the only Elf known with being bearded (Elves being beardless). It is said that it entered its third cycle of old age.
It is said that he always lives in Le Havre and will leave the Earth of the Medium only when the last Ship-Elf installs.
