((In the Breeland Archives, a small room at the back of the town hall, lies a trove of old tomes. One sits, dusty and long-forgotten on it's side at the bottom shelf-behind the desk. Marked with the year inside the cover-nigh on twenty years before, this is a weak and worn tome, filled with family lines and marriages, deaths and anulments, sales of land and lawsuits of the local variety. The town name is unfamiliar, but by description located far East of Bree-Land, North-West of Rivendell. Scrolling through the pages, one notices a faded page slip loose of the binding and tumble to the stone floor. When picked up and placed before a lamp, one can barely decipher a writ of passing of guardianship- a change of child custody. At the bottom of the document, lies a family seal-now flattened and melted in part.))
FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT READ THE IMAGES;
"It is to be noted, to be set in law, that the child Elizabeth Quincy, daughter of Merie Blythe and Danor Quincy- married by law in Bree, is the last of her house. Witness to this statement are Jareth, son of Maleth, Patron of the house Blythe-& Kellen, daughter of Maleth, Matron of the house Blythe.
At notification of the deaths of Elizabeth's parents, and her survival-under the council of the Bree lawmen, the Blythe house does recant claim to guardianship and revoke it's right to any and all claim.
It comes that the child is now ward of the crown-but that claim has been laid by Amroth Cúthalion, of the Last Homely House. The name Elizabeth Quincy has been inscribed in stone, laid beside the graves of Merie Blythe and Jareth Blythe. The child is now Elaese Alhandor, as is the will of her new guardian.
So it is decided, so it is law,
Meliorn Abrythe, scribe of Breeland, keeper of the records.
Witnessed(signed)
Jareth Blythe Kellen Blythe Malorn Amroth Cúthalion"
