Description:
A lord of Gondor from the Green Hills:
And so the companies came and were hailed and cheered and passed through the Gate, men of the Outlands marching to defend the City of Gondor in a dark hour; but always too few, always less than hope looked for or need asked.... Hirluin the Fair of the Green Hills from Pinnath Gelin with three hundreds of gallant green-clad men.
The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 1, Minas Tirith
And now the fighting waxed furious on the fields of the Pelennor.... But the horsemen rode eastward to the succour of Éomer: Húrin the Tall Warden of the Keys, and the Lord of Lossarnach, and Hirluin of the Green Hills, and Prince Imrahil the fair with his knights all about him.
The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 6, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields
Neither Hirluin the fair would return to Pinnath Gelin, nor Grimbold to Grimslade, nor Halbarad to the Northlands, dour-handed Ranger. No few had fallen, renowned or nameless, captain or soldier; for it was a great battle and the full count of it no tale has told.
