Outward Appearance

Hale and whole as a man half his age, or more, Tarchlang's only obvious concession to his age is his hair. Still cut in the now unfashionable style of his youth, it now grows increasingly silver amongst the once-dark threads.

 

Background

Unlike his kin further north, Tarchlang is a marsh man - better skilled at  tracking through the mist-filled wetlands than in the forests of the north. An able fisherman, he lives from the land as he carries out his duty - to watch the old greenway, as it crosses by the remains of the bridge from Gondor to the lands that once formed Arnor.

Nearly six score years Tarchlang has walked the marshes and dales, his quiet life given to the unknown, unremarked and unthanked task. Yet he is one of few, even amongst his long-lived kin, that still remember the fell-winter and the drowning of Tharbad in TA 2911 / 12.  

Now nearing the end of his life, he prepares himself to give back the Gift of Men, waiting only for others to come and take up the watch of the border from his hands.
