| Outward Appearance | The Noldo is a tall yet a muscular one, years of working the forge had turned his one into a hardy one. His long red hair flows down his body, lush long locks which are normally let loose to flow freely, there are times he has his hair tied up or all done up such as when he has golden jewelry in his braids yet it largely depends on when he works the forge. His eyes are blue as the sky. Minor detailsHis hands are not as soft as they use to be, with clear burn marks on them. He can sometimes be been walking with a limp due to his left leg. Under his clothing hides hideous wounds from wars long past, only partly seeable (his right upper arm) when he wears his smithing clothes. Sometimes he carries his smithing hammer around on his belt.

Background
Sartaulendur was born to Aulendur and Lóteriel , he became a proud smith under the teachings of his father who taught him to make weaponry till he followed Fëanor after his speech thus taking part in the kin-slaying at Alqualondë. In the time of been in the company of the Noldor who went with Fëanor, he became known as Turmaicatan, a master weaponsmith. Of the first Kinslaying he has no regrets over what he took part in nor would he feel the same for future events like it, he believed it was all for a greater deed for those he followed and their people.
During the time of their arrival and the Second Kinslaying, not much is known of him apart from he reappears as a weaponsmith in the city of Gondolin, living an as normal life as he could, working his craft and to be wed to a fellow smith's daughter till Morgoth attacked and he took up his sword and hammer into battle before retreating with others out of the city. His desire to root out evil grew stronger after Gondolin was taken and his wife-to-be. The years once again passed on yet he never forgot that day, a new life in Eregion but it never compared to the happiness he felt in Gondolin. The past repeats itself as Sauron attacks Eregion forcing, now calling himself, Norgaladon to take up arms to battle the forces of evil only to retreat once again to Imladris. His final home, when the High King Gil-Galad called upon his kin to march to war, Norgaladon marched with his kin to battle the Enemy.
The War of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men had ended and normality was returned to his life to an extend, in these new times he finds himself working his forge, crafting swords of beauty and other weapons. Sometimes he roams Imladris remembering what was taken from him long ago but still enjoying the now, taking happiness in all he can especially in his work.
Between the events of the Last Alliance and the arrival of Bilbo to Imladris, he focused on his smithing as usual but would sometimes take part in patrols of their lands, he was a soldier at heart and would jump at chances to ride again in armour. His life generally remained the same as time past till the War of the Ring.
When the war ended with Sauron's defeat thoughts of returning to Valinor crossed his mind more often however he believed work was still to be done and stayed before with many of his kin before they would finally leave.

Norgaladon works his arts of smithing proudly and takes commissions from other Elven peoples, it is very rare he would take commission from Men or others. He feels there is no need for him to bless others with blades of Elven make. In times past, he had many friends from Khazad-dûm while he was in Eregion, the gifts he was given he still has within his home, and wears Dwarven hair jewelry sometimes to remember his friends.
If time permitted, he would have liked to open a winery to make wines largely for himself as he has taken on a greater love for it and drinks it more often than he use to. It is not uncommon for him to drink a glass or two while he works his forge. He had thought of starting his own winery and name it after his mother.
