Dunhir was the the brother of Baranor and the uncle of Eradan. Dunhir was invented by Electronic Arts for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Although he doesn't make an actual appearance in the game, he is mentioned in Eradan's History.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

Dunhir's ancestors were members of a noble family from Númenor, who were loyal to Elendil. After the Downfall of Númenor they went into exile to Middle-earth and served the heirs of Elendil in Arnor. He was a Ranger and served Aragorn. After the death of Baranor, he fostered Baranor's son, Eradan, and oversaw his training.[1]
