Riders of Rivendell

The Riders of Rivendell were the Lord Elrond's scouts during the War of Magic. They were all Elves, trained to use both sword, bow and arrows and some magic. Their leader was Glorfindel, who later became the Captain of the Emerald.

The Riders of Rivendell are most notable of saving the unprepared members of the Alliance from the resurrected Ringwraiths.

It is believed that the group kept existing also after the War of Magic had ended, as when the Hobbits, along with Aragorn and Mandy, are rescued by Sonya she titles herself as "a Rider of Rivendell", indicating that upon her return Elrond asked her to be a part of the group to make sure that the group from the Shire made it to Rivendell safely.
