Baldor has known Dina all his life. Dina, half-Elven, was already an adult by the time Baldor was born, and he idolized her all his life. She left for Ranger training when he was 20 years old, and was 24 when she returned to Rohan with her young son. After getting reacquainted, Baldor asked Dina to become his wife, knowing he was asking a great deal of her; namely for her to give up her Immortality. Annadin has taken the proposal under serious consideration, but must discuss it with Annael’s father, as it would mean her eventual death while her son is still essentially young.

Upon her summons to Imladris by Elladan yet again, Elladan, in a fit of jealous possessiveness, forced Baldor to return to Rohan without Annadin, declaring that Dina will never marry a Mortal. Rather than have Dina choose between them through violence, Baldor gave her back to Elladan and left without a fight. Dina’s heart was shattered, and she has yet to make up with Elladan over this and several other issues.
