Oropher was the Elven King of Mirkwood during the Second Age as well as the father of Thranduil of Mirkwood and grandfather of Legolas.
History[]
First and Second Ages[]
Oropher was one of the Sindar of Doriath. He declined to depart Middle-earth as many other Elves did, and instead went over the Blue Mountains with his household. He eventually ended up in Greenwood the Great, where Silvan Elves of Nandorin descent lived, and he was taken by them as lord.
War of Last Alliance[]
Oropher and a good many able-fighting Elves from Mirkwood joined the Last Alliance of Elves and Men against Sauron at the end of the Second Age. He died in battle during the War of the Last Alliance.
