An
ancient human-like race of Middle-earth, Elves are noble, elegant and
magical beings in harmony with the natural world and its forces. Elves
have clearer perception and more heightened awareness than humans, which
was a valuable aid when Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor,
joined Elendil, King of Gondor, to create The Last Alliance of Elves and
Men in order to defeat the evil Sauron and his legion of orcs. The army
of the Last Alliance won the Battle of Dagorlad. Then, on the slopes of
Mount Orodruin, despite heavy losses, the Alliance managed to drive
Sauron's forces back. Cornered there, Sauron himself took to the
battlefield. After heavy battle, Gil-galad and Elendil were slain, but
Isildur, son of Elendil, cut The One Ring from Sauron's finger, thus
ending his reign of power.
The high sophistication of the Elven race carries over into the design
of the High Elven War Helm, which has the appearance of being beaten out
of a single sheet of steel. Embossed into the nose guard is the Elvish
rune, GG, which represents the commander of the Elvish army, Gil-galad.
