My mother Eovina and Lord Tindir met Earinlin and me at Nen Harn.. She had something important to tell us.....
For many decades ago a treasure from the house Rhaewen were stolen, items where sold, or given away to those who roams inside Dol Guldur for some reason. The Silvan elves from family Rhaewen had used many years to claim those items back. But it seemed to be an impossible task and few items has been brought home to where they belonged..
This treasure had an enormous value, not only because it was worth a lot, but also because it had a tremendous sentimental value for the family. Many items has been gathered from those Rhaewen Silvan elves that had died of wounds during the ages.. Gold, jewels, gems and amulets with rare symbols, something beautiful gathered to remind those elves that fought bravely, a secret of memories from ancestors has been forever lost..
But faith still remains.. while the items aren't proven ruined there are still hopes, several attempts has been taken place to find all the lost pieces, and strange customs has been formed, simply because the warriors inside family Rhaewen had to focus on other pressing matters..
One of this strange customs has now become more of a tradition. First it started as a joyful quest, that were succeeded at first attempt, and ever since it has been current thing to do and needs to be followed .But as times pass by with an unknown shadow approaching, it has become more of a risk, rather than an exciting and an amusing task..
The tradition says: A Lord that wants to ask for a Lady's hand from family Rhaewen, needs to bring home an item belonging to the lost treasure..
In this present time, rumors says that Gorothúl, the sorcerer who leads the forces of Dol Guldur got a hold of a very rare amulet that belongs to this treasure. An amulet with handwrought ornament with golden rings that shine in dark places...
This particular item has a special sentimental value for my mother Eovina Rhaewen, and she cannot be at peace before it's brought back safely to her house. The amulet was once owned and crafted by mighty Lord Elleodan Rhaewen, Eovina's brother, and my brave uncle that I never have seen. Lord Elleodan were defeated in a battle in Sammath Gûl, and my mother still mourns his fate. Her rage towards this place can never be at ease before this amulet is back and Gorothúl has been confronted..
My mother is very fond of Lord Earinlin and she truly believe he is the only one that can bring this amulet back, not because he is a mighty warrior, or he is experience with that place, but she has seen the love he has for me, and the power that this feeling can give, makes one almost undefeatable..She has seen it before...
The family tradition has to be followed once again, and Lord Earinlin have to find the Halls in Sammath Gûl where Gorothúl is seated, confront him and claim the amulet back. And when he fulfills this task he is free to ask for my hand, according to my mother words.
Lord Tindir promised to help him, but also because he wanted to help my mother Lady Eovina aswell.. The brave Guardian from Order of the Hammer in house Vanimar that has such high regards for my mother, but also because he cares for his friends happiness..I am sure Tindir will help Earinlin with the preparations, planning..get the persons needed to help out...
Somehow I feel quite relieved..I have never heard of the place Sammath Gûl before.. But I am sure my mother never would give Earinlin an impossible and dangerous task. She is very fond of him and me as her daughter. And beside I know the tradition has to be followed, if we break it, we will be dishonored from the rest of Family... And no tradition should be broken in general , it only means one thing...bad luck..
Is a solemn time.. Many are involved and are concerned for our future. I cannot wait until Lord Earinlin and I finally are together...
