His friends included Lolindir and EorlГ©, both members of the 250th Company.ДЄrandir is the main character in the fan-fiction novel: Veteran Biography ДЄrandir was born in Valinor in the Undying Lands, as son of Familar Ballach and Junial Ballach, in FA 31.

Portrayal in adaptationsДЎ995-8: Middle-earth Collectible Card Game: The 'Remains of Thangorodrim' is an Under-deeps site (conceived as having been drowned in the ocean during the War of Wrath, but surviving as ruins). The name consists of thang ('compulsion, oppression') + orodrim ('mountain-chain'). Thangorodrim is a Sindarin name meaning 'Mountains of Tyranny' or 'mountain-chain of tyranny'. It is possible that with the higher figure Tolkien was not referring to 'as the eagle flies', but rather 'as the wolf runs': the plateau of Dorthonion forced a long detour which added the extra 200, 250 miles to the distance. One drawing by Tolkien, if to scale, would have made Thangorodrim 35,000 ft high, and the statement that it lay 150 leagues (450 NГєmenГіrean miles) north of Menegroth puts it too far away for some of the action in The Silmarillion to make sense a distance of 150-200 miles would have been more consistent. The position and size of Thangorodrim are unclear. Thangorodrim was destroyed in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age when the defeated dragon Ancalagon the Black fell on them. There were also a number of secret gates scattered around the sides of the mountain group, from which Morgoth's hosts could issue forth and surprise their foes. The three peaks of Thangorodrim functioned as furnaces for Morgoth's great smithies deep in Angband.ДЇor a time the Eagles lived on Thangorodrim, but at some time during the First Age they removed to the Crissaegrim near Gondolin.ДЄt the base of the south face of the middle peak was the Great Gates of Angband, a deep canyon leading into the mountain, lined with towers and forts. The tops of Thangorodrim perpetually smoked, and sometimes spewed forth lava. Thangorodrim was said to have been the piles of slag from Morgoth's furnaces and rubble from the delving of Angband, though they were solid enough to form sheer precipices Maedhros was chained to a cliff of Thangorodrim, and HГєrin imprisoned on a high terrace.
