Orelie's life began in the tranquil and beautiful sanctuary of Imladris, nestled in the heart of Middle-earth during the waning years of the Second Age. Her parents were deeply connected to Gil-Galad's army, and while they recruited new soldiers, Orelie chose to remain in Imladris. However, as the battle ended and a new dawn embraced the lands, Orelie felt a profound loss as her parents, Marillindië and Onónano, departed to the west for healing.

In the absence of her parents, Orelie formed an unbreakable bond with her remaining family members, including Captain Falchon and her godfather, a wise and fearless Ellon who acted as a patriarch not only for Orelie's family but also for his fellow colleagues. He worked as a stalwart guardian at the gates of Imladris during the day, and at night, he tirelessly worked at the library, preserving the lore of their ancestors' history.

Although many of Orelie's family had already sailed to the west, there were some lost members who were nowhere to be found, including her uncle Matharo and her friend Falchwing, the daughter of the maiden Falchiel and granddaughter of Captain Falchon. Orelie felt a deep sense of duty to find them, not only for the sake of her remaining family, but also because it was her responsibility to uphold her ancestors' legacy.

Recently, Orelie's friend and second cousin Morivannesse reported that a stranger in Mithlond had appeared, claiming to know about Matharo and Falchwing. However, the stranger's lack of memory left Orelie in deep doubt, and she called upon her vast knowledge of her family's history through diaries and notes from their ancestors. Orelie knew that the search for her lost family members would be challenging, but she was determined to find them and bring them back to Imladris where they belonged.

Feeling a strong sense of duty towards both herself and her companions, Orelie embarked on a journey to the lands where the stranger had been found. Her goal was to seek out Côf Lingwimo in Forlindon and the heart of Havens, Mithlond. Orelie possessed an inherent connection to the past, and although she had not experienced the great events of Middle-earth's history firsthand, she could sense the weariness and loss in her heart. She could empathize with what her ancestors who had departed Middle-earth must have felt, and she understood the struggles her parents had faced. Orelie even caught glimpses of images that foretold a coming war and darker times. This disturbed her deeply, and she questioned whether these visions were genuine or simply her imagination.

To document her thoughts and experiences, Orelie compiled her writings into a collection of books, which she named Silma Kantele. She kept them in her library, hoping they would be beneficial to future generations of her family. During her moments of respite from her travels, Orelie found herself drawn to the coasts to gaze out over the Great Sea. She imagined the epic events of the First Age and envisioned the hidden city of Gondolin in the distance, shaped like a white cloud rising above the water. Although she recognized it was only her imagination, she believed that the deepest depths of the water still held remnants and ruins of her lost history.

During her journey, Orelie immersed herself in the history of Middle-earth, studying the great battles fought by the Elves and their allies against Morgoth, the Dark Lord. She also learned about the forging of the Rings of Power and the subsequent wars that led to Sauron's downfall. With this knowledge, Orelie felt a sense of obligation to safeguard the lore and history of her people. However, she also realized that danger was brewing and that it might have been the reason behind Matharo and Falchwing's disappearance.

As Orelie continued her quest, she delved deeper into the lore of Middle-earth, exploring the vast expanse of the lands. She sought out ancient artifacts and relics, hoping to uncover clues that would help her solve the mystery of her missing companions. Throughout her journey, she encountered many challenges and obstacles, from treacherous terrain to dangerous creatures. Nevertheless, Orelie pressed on, driven by her sense of duty and her unwavering determination to unravel the truth.
