Outward Appearance

Lamaenon Halatir

     Lamaenon Alagacharnion  aka Lamaenon Halatir, is considered by many to be a handsome Galadhel though humble. His steel blue gaze is wary more often than not, though to known company his gaze is glittering and joyful.  His countenance is stern, like many warriors. Lamaenon's bright heart takes after his Father's before him, who was an elf of Gondolin. This strength of fea shines from within akin to Lamaenon's ancestors and manifests in the slight shimmer to his hair which becomes far more noticeable in sunlight but is otherwise subtle. (A much older elf might recognize the traits of his fea if they were looking for them, perceptive, or from Gondolin themselves.)

 

Lamaenon tends to keep the silver locks that adorn his head beaded and tied back from his face in warriors pleats, often with metal and wooden beads. Lamaenon favors hauberks, tunics and heavy armor of elven make as choice clothing. He prefers robes for lounging. When dye can be afforded he can be seen wearing the colors of Lothlorien, as well as gold, white, and black. The Galadhel's build is neither heavily muscular nor is it lithe, Trained and kept a healthy medium between well muscled and lean. This keeps him strong enough to wear heavy armor and use swords without sacrificing swiftness.

 

Background

     Around the years 1350-1400 SA both of Lamaenon's parents followed Galadriel and Celeborn after the revolt of Celebrimbor in Ost-in-Edhil to what is now Lothlorien. His parents fell madly in love on the way to Lothlorien. His mother was a scholar, with a deep love of learning from whom Lamaenon inherited his insatiable curiosity of the world around him.

 

 

    His father was a hunter named Alagacharn, born of Gondolin and former Lord of House Halatir( House Kingfisher) which was a lesser vassel of Gondolin's House of The Swallow. It was from Alagacharn that Lamaenon inherited his title.  The heartbreak brought on by the fall of the great city, and the slaying of Lamaenon's grandparents made Alagacharn keep much of this history to himself for most of his life. . Alagacharn feared bringing the pain to the surface would be great enough to cause him to sail. Despite this worry, Alagacharn made sure Lamaenon would become fluent in Quenya. Both written and spoken. Shortly before Lamaenon's majority his father was set upon by Wargs, outnumbered and felled. Originally Lamaenon was studying to become a healer. His fathers death, and his own inability to heal his mothers sorrow led him to deal with his own grief by becoming a Warden of Lothlorien instead.

 

Once a Guard of Lothlorien, he escorted his mother to the Western shores to see her off to Valinor after his fathers death. He remained a Warden on Border patrol for many years before becoming listless. He volunteered as a courier when word came that one of the couriers between Imladris and Lothlorien had fallen upon some foul luck, Lamaenon offered to take up the route between elven homes in the hopes that maybe the travel would cure his melancholy. To this day he remains a courier between Imladris and Lothlorien. His stays in Imladris are slightly extended as he enjoys the peace and will rest his horse for a few weeks before making the long journey back to Lothlorien.

-Personality quirks-

 He greatly favors the company of the Eldar over mortals and more often than not will remain aloof to the secondborn of Arda. Lamaenon is also tenacious to a fault and fiercely loyal, often hard pressed to be removed from a wounded comrade's side during battle.  He does not process grief well. While Lamaenon knows weeping does NOT make someone weak, he keeps his grieving and sorrows private. He considers it a weakness to grieve openly, but does not hold this standard to others. Only to himself. This self imposed rule is borne from a childhood want to be strong like his father. Lamaenon had never seen his father weep, but always saw a strong, stern, wise, but kind elf with a strong sense of honor. All things Lamaenon strives to try and accomplish in himself. This is also why when upset, he disappears to deal with it in private. Despite this folly he is ever ready to lend an ear and shoulder to those close to him.
