Vorondil was the Steward of Gondor during the reign of King Eärnil II, succeeding Pelendur of the House of Húrin in TA 1998 and holding the Stewardship for 31 years (TA 1998 - 2029).

The Horn of Gondor, an heirloom of the House of Stewards, came from the days of Vorondil, who hunted the wild kine of Araw in the fields of Rhûn.

Vorondil the Hunter was succeeded by his son Mardil, who became the first Ruling Steward of Gondor in TA 2050, after the loss of Eärnur, the last king of Gondor, in Minas Morgul.
