I’m not personally a headcanonner of Maglor living in Rivendell in LotR under a new name, but if he is, I adamantly believe that he is not Lindir (“song guy”) but rather Erestor (tentatively glossed “lonely brother.”) Tragic humor or bust!

#Maglor #the silmarillion #lotr #feanor and feanor’s kin #erestor #lindir #MY preferred erestor is from nargothrond; so Elrond’s chief counselors include someone from each big hidden city of beleriand #(both multicultural noldor-sindarin cities too!)#(the other being glorfindel obv)#I also love half-elf ‘kinsman’ of elrond!erestor so in total #one of his parents was avari and the other haladrim but the man (gender-neutral) died just after he was born #so the elf took him to live in Nargothrond and he grew up elvish #though not as safe as hoped - the city fell only a couple decades later #(I don’t stand for cross-species marriage and children befofe B&L)#so he and elrond are like fifth cousins through the house of haleth and they’re both like ‘YEAH THAT COUNTS’#lindir I have no strong opinion on but I read a fic where he was a nice young man (species-neutral) from mirkwood and I liked that
