Also known as Fauganubrassen, any diminutives of such, and many other names, Tharan was among the first children born to the Elves who awoke at Cuiviénen. She is a nomadic spearwielder who has recently returned from an almost two age-long trip East with her brother, Meren. She is currently exploring Eriador, which she had not seen since the world changed.

You may know Tharan if...

You were part of Enel's host. Tharan and her brother, Meren were born on the shores of Cuiviénen, soon after the first Elves awoke. Their parents were taken when they were very young; hir Círdan took them under his wings then. You would then remember Tharan as being one of the very first spear-wielding Elves, always ready to fight, defend and protect; but just as ready to drink, sing, and discover this beautiful, yet-unmarred world unfolding around her.

You went on the Great Journey, all the way to Valinor. While they felt torn at leaving so many of their friends behind, Meren and Tharan's wanderlust pushed them forward. In Aman, they never remained in one place long enough to begin citizens of any factions; they went on endlessly, until the Darkening. You would remember Tharan as the sportswoman, ever challenging so-and-so to a race or a wrestling match, and a very serious contender to any drinking contest. She was always particularly popular with the ladies.

You crossed the Helcaraxë. Horrified by the kinslaying but having no desire to remain under the rule of the Valar, Meren and Tharan kept a low profile and mingled with Fingolfin's host until they were reunited with hir Círdan at the Mereth Aderthad. You might not remember them much from then, except that they did their best to be helpful.

You were in Balar/the Mouths of Sirion. You would then remember Tharan and her sister as being optimistic and inexhaustible, partying as hard as they worked to help the refugees that came to the Isle as war went on on the continent. They never spared any efforts. Meren opened their house and offered food, shelter and comfort to all he met. Tharan threw herself into battles after battles and defended the isle until the very end, then a trusted lieutenant of Círdan's who prefered the spears and the halberds over the sword.

You were in Mithlond until around 300 S.A. Meren and Tharan followed hir Círdan, and by then you would remember Tharantoreth as a soldier, a captain, a heavy drinker, a bit of a party animal, and a lady's lady whose heart never seemed to know how to settle. She devoted most of her time to physical activities, leading patrols or training troops. Once a simulacrum of peace seemed to have been installed, her wanderlust was rekindled, and she felt a yearning for the East and the shores of her birth. She left with her brother and her very intimate friend, Hravanis.

You were in the East (Rhûn, Khand, Harad, Umbar, etc) between 300 S.A. and now. Tharan and her brother travelled a lot together, even though Hravanis went back westward after a few centuries. They lived among the Avari and the so-called Easterlings, joining their fight against the Enemy. They resumed a nomadic lifestyle and went where battle and the wind lead them. They loved, lived, cried, laughed under the eastern skies, until something, the details of which she does not share, happened to Meren and she tucked him in a cart and rode back to Imaldris, hoping that the great healers of Imaldris could help him.

You are currently between Falathlorn and Imaldris. After leaving Meren in Elrond's care, Tharan went travelling along the mountains and rivers she'd never seen, having not been in this part of the world since it changed. Elrond has allowed Meren to leave Tham Send under Tharan's watchful gaze; they have been given a remote guesthouse on the other side of Hidhuinen. But the siblings, who have almost never been apart, are not on speaking terms, and so Tharan is seldom in his company, and can be found anywhere.

(More might be added in the future-- please do get in touch if you think our characters might have met/have good chemistry, Tharan is friendly and easy-going!)
