Silvest was born in Lorien, at the end of the Third Era, second youngest to Laenmir the Shifty and Kilnona the Rune-Master. Her older sister, Silmaine was born in Mirkwood in the middle of the Third Era, and is a huntress in the dying forest of the once Greenwood. She was raised in Lorien by her mother, while her father, Laenmir was in Mirkwood with her sister.

Kilnona taught the young elfling all she could about Rune-Keeping, puzzle-solving, and how to be a proper Lady of Lorien. Young Silvest was a curious elf, and still is to this day. Always getting into things she shouldn't, but when it came to observing. She has a keen eye for the littlest things, the tiniest changes in the clouds, the weather, the water flowing in the streams..

This went on for almost seven-hundred years...

Half way through her lifetime, tragedy struck in the young elf's eyes...  An accident with a Dwarf's hunting trap, ended her father's life.. Her mother, her sister, and herself are still stricken with grief, the loss of a great Hunter and Father heavy on their shoulders.. But they kept living.. Silvest was skilled in the Keeping of Runes, her mother saw this and sent her to Imladris, the home of Elrond Half-Elven. For the next eight hundred years and some months, she tended the Runes that entered his Library..

You can still find her tending the Library's Runes, dressed in a night blue evening gown, her hair down across her shoulders in elaborate curls... Eyes never leaving the carvings of the stones...
