In literature

Forlong was the Lord of Lossarnach. Though he, and many of his followers, were not of Númenórean descent, they fought for Gondor. Together with 200 well-armed men he rode to the aid of Minas Tirith on the 9th of March, T.A. 3019.

Forlong was killed in the Battle of Pelennor Fields on the 15th of March, as part of a sortie to aid the Rohirrim. Alone and unhorsed he was hewn down by Easterling axes.
