History:
Oropher was one of the Sindar of Doriath, but after the War of Wrath he
declined to depart Middle-earth as many others did, and instead went over
the Ered Luin with his house-hold. He eventually ended up in Greenwood the
Great, where Silvan Elves of Nandorin descent lived, and he was taken by
them as lord. His capital was at Amon Lanc.
West of Oropher's realm was the realm of Lórinand across Anduin, where Amdír,
another Sindar ruled over Silvan Elves. When Sauron returned to Middle-earth
and southern Greenwood became dangerous and was renamed Mirkwood, Oropher's
folk retreated north of the old Dwarf Road, and later again north of the
Mountains of Mirkwood, where they fortified themselves.
Oropher answered the summons for the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and
joined with Gil-galad's forces as they marched down Anduin to Dagorlad.
Oropher's company was lightly armed. In the battle of Dagorlad Oropher's
company fought valiantly, but he was slain with the greater part of his
people when they got caught off the main Elven host. After Sauron was
defeated, Thranduil, Oropher's son and heir, returned with the remainder of
his people north back to Mirkwood. While beaten, their army was still large
enough that the Orcs hiding in secret in the Hithaeglir did not dare attack
them.
