Golasgil was the lord of Anfalas during the War of the Ring.

History

On 9 March T.A. 3019, Golasgil led a long line of men of many sorts to Minas Tirith before the Battle of Pelennor Fields. With the exception of the men of his household the men that he commanded - hunters, herdsmen, and villagers - were scantily equipped. Since Golasgil was not mentioned among the fallen in the Song of the Mounds of Mundburg, it appears that he survived the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Etymology

David Salo suggests that Golasgil is a Sindarin name, which means "star of leaves" and contains the elements golas ("foliage, collection of leaves") and gil ("star, (bright) spark, silver glint, twinkle of light").

2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:

Golasgil is first met on the second level of Minas Tirith, overlooking the training of his soldiers before the battle. He participates in the defence of the city during the siege and later fights in the Battle of Pelennor Fields. During the battle he is separated from his allies, but is able to fend off a party of orcs by himself and survives. He joins the Army of the West and follows Aragorn's command to the Black Gate of Mordor. During the Battle of the Morannon Golasgil is killed by a large Olog-hai. He is survived by his wife, Lady Marra, and his young son Orgolas.
