Background
Her past is vastly unknown. The begging of the story as she knows starts with the day she woke up on a ship returning to Tharbad.
Since then she tries to remind herself of her home or her name. Having no memories of times before, she was named by one of the shipmates as "daughter of a secret" as they themselves did not know of her, simply judged her wounds as non fatal and took her hoping to either sell her belongings or get her to stay and sail with them.
For almost 5 years she stayed with the crew, becoming their navigator, map-maker and secret keeper, traveling far and wide, wherever the waters allowed, but her heart burned with something unknown to her every time she went to the sea for longer periods of time. It would seem she wished for a place not within the waters but on earth, and songs of minstrels reminded her of that every time she heard one. Before she left the ship, by same road they first met her, nearing Swanfeelt side of Tharbad, as a farewell gift she cut her hair short, and told of her departure by leaving her long dark-brown strands, along with the dagger they gave her, on the captain's desk in the deeps of the nights calming shadows. Now she wanders in search of a new calling and secrets of her from the past, never forgetting and forever grateful what she was taught by the pirates.
Thurinien has been awake for 5 years, and off the ship for 3 months (from 10 to 25/01/25).
(13/01/25) Traveling by ruins of Silver Bastion she meets an Elf who speaks of Rivendell, and helps Thurinien clear out the way to her next destination of Bree.
(19-20/01/25) Advised by a mysterious "elf-master" she began searching for Rivendell and someone named Elrond.
(25/01/25) Began another search of Rivendell with a minstrel called Goodbottom. The duo lost track in Trollshaws and landed at the north end of Eregion(Gwingris).
