The diary of Ithilwien - May 26th



The last day I have spent every hour with my brother, discussing recent matters and talking about what has happened these last few years. Though, he did not tell me much, he told me enough to believe that he have been safe enough. No damage done by my abscence, it seems. Though of course it is impossible to know if perhaps things would have been better if I HAD been around.

However, he eventually brought me along to a big house a bit outside of Bree. There, I met several men. Friends and companions of my brother. I do not remember the name of all of them, only who appeared to be their leader, Kelinor. A human of rather young age, though appearing strong both physically and in mind. As I had sworn to now stay close to my brother it was an easy choice to simply join this group, calling themselves the Legion. I was shown around the house and supplied with a uniform, including a mask. Kelinor explained to me how I must always keep the mask on when outside the house wearing my uniform. Not sure what to think about this I still simply accepted it, and did as I was told. I also learned several things about this group, this kin, such as that their actual leader - a man most commonly referred to as "Loor" - is not in life, but that man, Kelinor, was there to continue the works of Loor despite his permanent abscence. And though I did not know much of what they were talking about I remained silent, choosing not to ask any questions due to the risk of seeming stupid and naive. Whatever these men are up to I am merely here to stay close to my brother. I will obey orders, but I have a feeling I will not truthfully sympathize with their work and I believe this is a thought best kept to myself...
