On this page I'll describe Orlando's life and career, mostly about Lord of the Rings! Please note that
I am writing a biography for Legolas too!
Legolas' Biography:
Sindarin elf of the woodland realm, in the year 3019, Legolas journeyed to Rivendell to sit on
the Council of Elrond, and was chosen to represent the Elves in the Fellowship. In Lorien, Legolas and Gimli became close
friends, a friendship that lasted the rest of their lives. Legolas' keen sight and archery skills were his greatest asset
to the Fellowship. After the Breaking of the Fellowship, Legolas went with Gimli and Aragorn in search of Merry and Pippin,
and fought in the battle of Hornburg. He eventually went to Gondor, and fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields; while
in Gondor, he had his first glimpse of the sea, and was overcome by a deep desire to sail from that moment on. After the War
of the Ring, he journeyed with Gimli to visit the Glittering Caves and Fangorn Forest. In the Year 120 FO, after the death
of Aragorn, Legolas sailed over the sea, taking Gimli the dwarf with him, the last of the Fellowship.
