Iodil

Iodil was the first child of Iandil, and nephew to Hrandir, the 24th King-In-Exile. Iodil inherited Lordship over Dilendain from his father, and was expected to continue the Dil lineage. However, Iodil didn't feel that he, nor his descendants, should become Kings, but instead great rulers that pledge their allegiance to the Kings-In-Exile. To demonstrate his unwavering loyalty to the current King-In-Exile, his cousin Huor, Iodil named his child Hethmar, thus ruining Iandil's idea about the Dil lineage. Iodil also had another child, Alrik II, named after his grandfather, who was one of the Kings-In-Exile as well.

At some stage in the late Fourth Age, Iodil's father, Iandil, was ambushed and forceably taken. Many search parties were sent out for him, however they didn't have to search for long. Three days later, Iandil's disembodied head was found directly outside the doors of Dilendain, having been run through by a spear. By this stage however, Iodil had already given up his throne to his son Hethmar, but he was equally as outraged. He called for a gathering of arms to fight whatever threat would dare to challenge those who lived at Dilendain, (which was perceived by Duhr as opening hostility, thus why Hror did not take a route past the Midpoint Mountains through Dilendain.)

It was later learnt that the orchestrator of the murder was no other than the Dungeon Master, who was seeking to take control of the entirety of the Midpoint Mountains. Several underground battles were hosted between the two forces, with Hethmar being slain in one of them. His only child, Helmar, was too young to inherit the throne, and was adopted by Alrik II. Iodil therefore once more took charge of the throne, and has been engaged in combat with the Dungeon Master ever since.
