Background
Miridial is a Nandorin elleth born in the year 97 of the Second Age in Edhellond, the elf haven located at the mouth of the river Morthond, near the point where it was joined by the river Ringlò in what is now gondorian territory. The years of her youth were spent quietly in the harbour, studying ancient lore and the ways of the sea under the care of her parents. Time passed slowly, she grew up and married her husband Celonion, on a beautiful, warm summer day. The days in the harbour were happy and it seemed that they would be everlasting, but was not meant to be...

... the story of her loved one's demise is not disclosed by her easily. The Sea was not in an easeful mood when he was lost to her, that is what she will say if enquired. Her begetters, now weary of Middle Earth as well, took the final decision of leaving its shores. She however chose not to vent her grief and not sail away, as the memories of her whole life and love spent in the harbour kept her there, and the Call to the West was clouded to her ears.
Miridial's parting with her loved ones was not in bitterness, though a feeling of sadness never left her mind. She left Edhellond at last, sometime during the first years of the Third Age despite her initial decision as it was becoming an emptier harbour as years went by, but kept to her resolution to not abandon completely the hither shores she loves still. Therefore Miridial journeyed far from them, hoping to find a new place to stay and have some rest of mind.
She decided to settle in Lorinand, hoping that the fabled Golden Wood would be a good change for her life and bring her a measure of tranquility. However, the time she spent in that land hadn't the effect Miridial hoped for; the sight of Mallorn trees and rustling of leaves did not serve to soothe her mind, having lived most of her life near the sea, she felt uncomfortable lingering in the wood and pined to see Belegaer again. It was at this time that she considered the idea of traveling even more north, to the elven havens of Falathlorn in Ered Luin. Akin to her homeland yet different enough to start a new chapter of her life, perhaps Falathlorn would be the right place for her to stay... until the call of the Undying Lands shall once again sound clear to her ears, and sail thither to reunite with her loved ones.
