Linfogel was born during the Great Journey within Teleri brood, during their encampment on the banks of Anduin, not far from the Gladden Fields. And it was there, on the sandy river coast, where he'd seen the light of the stars for the very first time.He was born to the Swan Wing family, as they called themselves - Alphrevail (later Alphroval, singular form, treated more like a name than a nickname), because they particularly loved those birds while living on the shores of Cuivienen.

Born in Duillond to a pair of Sindarin elves, Laerlin has remained in Ered Luin for all of her comparatively-short life. Her name means 'Summersong', and it suits her well, for she is sweet-voiced and joyous of disposition, unhindered by the sorrow that plagues many of her kindred. She is proud to be among the refuge-guardians of Duillond, and when on duty is zealous in her questioning of strangers (though never aggressive). Rarely has she been required to enter into combat to defend her home, save against the occasional rag-tag band of orcs.
