Arondir and Bronwyn
We first meet the elf Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova) on patrol in the Southlands, where he’s remained for nearly 80 years after being placed there to ensure the humans did not turn to evil again (pesky humans). Much to the chagrin of the humans, who distrust the elves, Arondir has fallen in love with Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), and the feeling is mutual. Throughout the season, their bond grows stronger, even after he’s captured by Orcs and forced to work on their dam. Arondir and Bronwyn help defend the Southlands against the Orcs, and are saved at the last minute by Galadriel and the Númenóreans. Bronwyn plans to lead her people, who are now without a home, to the port of Gondor.
