Vaedairon has always been fascinated by history and legends of times long past. Though he has lived much of his life in the wilds of Eriador like many other Dúnedain, he has spent the past five years living in Imladris so that he could better study the Kingdom of Númenor and its downfall.

​During his research, he uncovered new information that had long been hidden to the Race of Men. It seemed that there was a sort of relationship between mortality and free will (and a similar relationship between immortality and fate), and that mortality could not be separated from freedom.

​Vaedairon wished to explore these new topics further, but was interrupted by a messenger from the Dúnedain. Apparently Halbarad was calling the Grey Company together to assist Aragorn in the East. Vaedairon departed westwards immediately atop his horse Sirdal, intending to meet his fellow Rangers before they departed. When he found the meeting place, he discovered that he had received the message much too late. Halbarad had already left, perhaps weeks ago.

Distraught, and still filled with the questions raised by his research, Vaedairon headed east towards Ost Guruth to contemplate what he ought to do next.
