Ealendil

Sunday June 11th, Echad Dúnann, Eregion

A brief account of what transpired during the first hour the author was present.

Morning hours at the base camp at Echad Dúnann. Ealendil sits by the fire alone for the moment, while Nienore, beneath a tree a little further away, occupies herself with reading. Ealendil roasts some of the bread, that had become a little stale, over the fire.

((Please forgive my crude attempt at Tenwar))

Sunday May 27th, Mirobel, Eregion

Sunset at ancient Mirobel, the company from Echad Dúnann finds themselves somewhat reduced in numbers as both Coruhuron and Eluineth have been called back to Rivendell by raven message earlier that day.

Sunday May 13th, Visiting Mirobel, Eregion

In the fey hours before dawn, Ealendil caresses her harp gently by the fire. She is alone, save from Nienorë sitting by herself a little behind her, writing or drawing, and Elvealin sleeping nearby.

Sunday April 29^th, Echad Dúnann, Eregion.

A brief synopsis of what transpired Sunday April 15th.

Dawn at the small hillock overlooking the valley leading up to the Red Horn Pass, opposite the old ruins of Minas Elendúr.

A letter arrives at the desk of the Lady of the Pillar [*], written in Doriathren of old. The flowing Tengwar handwriting of Ealendil is quite distinguishable.

With the letter follows a small package containing score sheets carefully tied together with golden ribbons [**].

To the Lady of the Pillar

Dear Lady Manadhlaer

Manadhlaer, Lady of the Order of the Pillar and of the Houses of Healing, looked most unladylike as she crawled on all fours around her garden. Indeed, dirty as she was, she would have resembled a giant shrew at a distance, had she a tail. As she was not so endowed, she merely resembled a garden-variety gardener as she crawled around her yard, making sure that each precious athelas start got its grip in the rich Imladris soil. Someone drawing near would have heard her humming an unmistakably lovely tune they had not heard before.

It was a few of days after Vanimar’s meeting at the Pillar, a meeting that saw Lady Manadhlaer bestowed with the responsibility and office of Lady of the Pillar, an order no longer leadership. It had been heart-warming to see Manadhaler, humble and almost moved to tears, receive the insignia of her new office from the Lady Ambassador Tingruviel, acting upon Lord Anglachelm’s directive. Ealendil felt so proud and happy for her friend.
