What do I stand to gain if I cease my lament? Do I not live? Badly, I know, but I live.

If you are very lucky, and Ûrizâir is in a particularly talkative mood, one might hear her tell of being born in Edhellond. And that is all you will get out of her on the subject of her young life, at least until mysterious events conspired to see her leaving home upon the deck of the Númerrámar, the first ship of the great mariner Aldarion of Numenor. And, even then, her recollections are sparse on both detail and specificity, only really enjoying recalling her journeys at sea to far flung places. She simply states that she became a part of the Guild of Venturers 'eventually' and that she made a home upon Westernesse until she 'had to leave.'

Whether this enforced leaving was due to the ban on elven ships going to Numenor, or some other incident, she will not say and becomes even more belligerent than usual when pestered. She will acknowledge that she had some part to play in the Last Alliance, though how much or little of that conflict she saw remains unspoken. And how she came to live in Umbar? To make her home amongst pirates and the heretics of old Numenor? Many of whom with a passionate revulsion for the Quendi? Another untold tale on her part, all except for one particular comment; 'I can't stand elves either' she will state, bluntly, 'nor their sycophants.'

And this certainly appears to be the case, given Ûrizâir's perpetual absence from any elven haven since she left Edhellond and her insistence on using the Adûnayân name she acquired as a mariner rather than any Sindarin name her parents might have bestowed her. Her reasons for such an animosity are, predictably, mysterious. But many note a kind of grim ill-temper that comes over her upon the start of any voyage, one that fades in time and that she drowns in work and ale alike, but that is no less persistent. As any accustomed to her will tell you, it is unwise to mention 'sea-longing' in her presence, but whether this is the cause or just a symptom of her prejudice, none could say.

Either way, her occupation now is clear enough at least. After some decades of building Heirsworn ships in exchange for their favour, she appears to have struck a similar bargain with the Kindred of the Coins and may even have been persuaded to aid in the takeover, though that is more rumour than fact. What is certain is that her new masters seem a much less restrictive bunch, allowing Ûrizâir free reign of the city and lands about when she had been mostly confined to the Fleet-fast in the past. As such, she can now be found striding through the both the upper and lower districts, much to the chagrin of the Captains whom are now subject to her judgement over their lacking care towards her ships.
