A male Elf of the Lian, son of Rael and Talarin and the twin brother of Gildor. Vanidor was born sometime in the First or Second Era, between the quest for the Dragonstone and the War of the Ban. He was briefly seen leading a group of Lian Guardians, who apprehended Tipperton Thistletown and Beau Darby. After resupplying the Warrows and giving them a guide to Arden Vale, Vanidor continued on his rounds. He later returned to Arden Vale to confer with his parents, and fought in the War.
