Hallas was the thirteenth Ruling Steward of Gondor.

Biography[]

Hallas was born in TA 2480 and was the son of Cirion. When Cirion died in TA 2567, Hallas succeeded him as Ruling Steward. Calenardhon had been given by his father to the Éothéod, and Hallas grew particularly friendly with the new arrivals and devised the names Rochand and Rochirrim for the land and its people, which became Rohan and Rohirrim in the Sindarin dialect of Gondor. In effect, Gondor had been halved in size, but it had gained a strong ally to the north in return.[3]

War never ceased on Gondor's eastern borders as the Balchoth were not completely destroyed, but they were no longer a serious threat. More of a problem was the Corsairs of Umbar, who kept raiding the coasts and Orcs based in Minas Morgul.

Hallas died in TA 2605 at the age of 125 years old after thirty-eight years of rule. He was succeeded by his son Húrin II.

Other versions of the legendarium[]

In some early variants of the Quenta Silmarillion, tradition published in the History of Middle-earth series, Hallas is also the name of the son of Orodreth. He was replaced by Gil-galad, later High King of the Ñoldor, who in the published Silmarillion is made into Fingon's son instead.
