Estelmo
Esquire for Elendur, son of Isildur; one of the only survivors of the disaster at Gladden Fields. In year 2 of the Third Age, Estelmo accompanied Elendur and the other sons of Isildur as well as Isildur himself on their journey to Arnor. Estelmo was among a company of two-hundred knights. On October 4, the company was in Gladden Fields when they were attacked by Orcs from the Misty Mountains who were drawn to the power of the One Ring which Isildur bore. Estelmo and Ohtar, esquire of Isildur, were the only two survivors. Ohtar was sent away to Rivendell with the shards of Narsil.
Estelmo was rescued by Wood-elves. He had overheard Elendur telling Isildur that he must take the One Ring far away, but with luck against them it was lost in the Anduin.
