Scion of Kings
Ereinion Gil-galad
King of Diamonds version [2015]
Who was the father of Gil-galad?
The sixth and last High King of the Noldor. While in the published "Silmarillion" he is the son of Fingon, JRRT's latest idea was to make him the son of Orodreth. This is Illustration to a polemic about his parentage in the jubilee 20th issue of the almanac "Aiglos" (Polish language issue), with the son of Fingon at the top and the son of Orodreth mirrored in the bottom. Ereinion means "Scion of Kings" thus the title, a words play between the epessë and the complicated parentage.
