Meet Glorelendil

Post by Glorelendil » Thu Dec 18, 2014 5:12 pm

Glorelendil is a young (be Elven standards) Noldor of Rivendell. He was named partly in honor of Elendil, who his parents knew and admired. They were survivors from Gondolin who resettled in Hollin, and then again survived destruction to flee as refugees with Elrond. The sorrow of these memories were too much and they both departed West centuries ago. Glorelendil chose to remain behind, ostensibly to continue his studies with Damron.

Privately, Glorelendil wishes to re-discover the lore and craft of previous ages. Damron has instilled in him a passion for lost Elven-craft, although Damron himself of late has...changed. He has become less fierce in spirit, almost happy, and his young apprentice thinks he is letting go of the past.

Glorelendil will never let go.

He has been spending more time in both the Hall of Fire and the library of late, learning what he can of Celebrimbor and...secretly, he thinks...Feanor. Although he would never say as much, he admires Feanor greatly, almost obsessively. He has turned the story over in his mind a thousand times, and thinks he knows where Feanor went wrong. "When the time comes, I won't make the same mistakes," he tells himself.

He is not sure how much more he can learn staying in Rivendell. ("Look how it has affected Damron, after all.") He has started wandering farther and farther from Rivendell, but traveling alone is risky. He needs to travel to Mithlond, and Lothlorien, and search the libraries of Minas Tirith ("Maybe the Men of Gondor have records that we ourselves have forgotten, even though the knowledge belongs rightfully to us.") Perhaps Saruman knows something....

Your PC build is nearly identical as the High Elf Artificer PC in our PbP game about to start when Ruins is released! :-)

Nicely done, Glorelendil. :)
Tale of Years for a second, lower-level group (in the same campaign).

How do you have a cultural weapon skill favoured? Something seems off there.

A bit too 'dark and brooding loner' for my tastes, but an interesting fellow. Perhaps he will see service at some point in the future....

Maybe I'm missing something. In any case, he looks pretty interesting.

Oh, a weapon family. But, yeah, that's an error. Used the azrapse character sheet.
