Eärnils

Eärnils is a fictional character from J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, appearing in *The Silmarillion*. He is described as a Silvan Elf of the Woodland Realm in Mirkwood. Eärnils is known for his skill as a hunter and tracker, often venturing into the deepest parts of the forest. His lineage is not extensively detailed, but he is depicted as a loyal servant of King Thranduil. During the events leading up to and following the War of the Ring, Eärnils played a role in defending Mirkwood from the growing darkness emanating from Dol Guldur. He is often mentioned in connection with other Silvan Elves who aided the Fellowship of the Ring, particularly Legolas Greenleaf.

His story serves as an example of the many unsung heroes among the Elves who fought against the forces of evil in Middle-earth.
