Dol Amroth was a feudal principality which formed part of the Kingdom of Gondor in the southern reaches of that realm. It was ruled by the Prince of Dol Amroth; the banner of the Silver Swan of Dol Amroth flew alongside that of the White Tree throughout the Third Age.
History
An artist's rendition of the fortified city Dol Amroth.
Dol Amroth dated back to the late Second Age, when "the Faithful" began settling there. The first Lord of Dol Amroth was Galador, son of Imrazôr of the Númenóreans. Imrazôr was the son of Adrahil I, who was already known as the Prince of Belfalas. At some point, Imrazôr moved to the area where once was the elven haven of Edhellond. According to tradition, there he married Mithrellas, a Silvan Elf of Lórien who had accompanied Nimrodel, the beloved of Lórien's king Amroth, on her journey towards Edhellond, but had become lost along with her mistress. Therefore Galador and his descendants had claim to Elven blood.
After Imrazôr's death (Mithrellas' fate is nowhere described, only that she eventually left Imrazôr and Galador), Galador went on to found the city and later the Principality of Dol Amroth. He is counted as its first Lord. The specific date of its foundation is nowhere recounted.
A Map of Dol Amroth
The city of Dol Amroth was built south of Edhellond at the inlet of Cobas Haven in the Bay of Belfalas. The standard of the city was a silver swan, as seen in the banners carried by the knights from there at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
The lands of Dol Amroth were also known as Dor-en-Ernil, or 'Lands of the Prince': initially this name was applied to the area of Belfalas where Adrahil I and Imrazôr lived, but after Galador it was also applied to the area of Dol Amroth itself.
Imrahil was one of the commanders of the army of Gondor during the War of the Ring, and for a while commanded the city of Minas Tirith. After the War he went back to Dol Amroth, remaining a counselor to King Elessar. He was succeeded by his son Elphir. Imrahil's sister Finduilas married Denethor II, Steward of Gondor and was the mother of Boromir and Faramir. Lothíriel, daughter of Imrahil, married Éomer, the King of Rohan.[1]
Population
The first settlers of the area were Sindar from Beleriand until Faithful from Númenor came to the promonitory. The last Elves left in TA 1981.
The people of Dol Amroth were tall, grey-eyed, and dark-haired.They were famous as the most skillful harp players in all of Gondor, who played at the coronation of Aragorn.The inhabitants of Dol Amroth and in the lands nearby were some of the few people of Gondor who spoke Sindarin on a daily basis.
The southern Dúnedain that settled in Dol Amroth never intermarried with so-called Middle Men so as a result, the entire population of Dol Amroth consists of people with pure Dúnedain and Elvish ancestry. The princes of Dol Amroth (House of Dol Amroth) are of high Númenórean and Elvish descent due to the union of Mithrellas and Imrazôr. Inhabitants of Dol Amroth are generally long-lived due to their noble ancestry.
