Parnard

Limiriel rubbed her gloved hands together; eyes narrowed as she watched Thendryt slowly make his way through the deep snow from her perch high up in a snow-laden pine. The surly man’s heavy footsteps jarred the silver night. She wrinkled her nose in a disdainful sneer and leaned back against the trunk.

Men.

How many lives had been destroyed at the dishonour, disloyalty of Men? They had brought death to the Eldar and the Naugrim and to those of their kind that defied the curse of the Lesser Race.

She snarled silently and sat up again, spear in hand.

Friend Parnard,

I was greatly honoured to receive word from you and to answer simply; the Warband will be ready to fight alongside you as soon as you require.

Your words encapsulate precisely my own feelings that as two forces gathered within Imladris it makes perfect sense that we unite in missions against our common enemies. I have spoken previously with your Lord about my own desire to do this.

The crystal phial flashed brilliantly as it caught the rays of the mid-day sun streaming through the open window. He rolled the half-empty container between the fingers and thumb of his right hand, his left sitting motionless in his lap. The dull amber liquid within the glass tube flowed lazily as he moved it, the contents seeming to match his mood as he sat near to the open window. The fresh winds of the Valley pushed the lank hair from his face and carried with it the sweet scents of honeysuckle and jasmine, yet it stirred nothing in him.

Tur Elisbeth-

Since my last report to you, I ventured back up into the Hithaeglir, this time alone, since Thendryt had business elsewhere.  I sighted the Guaradan I spoke of in the first report again-this makes the third time I have seen this creature.  I also discovered another unnaturally large giant, down in the Giant Halls.  And I found the beast that rumor has spoken of.   It is an unnaturally large snow beast, many times the size of a regular beast.

Like all entries in Norliriel's diary, this is written in graceful yet accurate tengwar, not a tehta out of place.

”Blackstar can be used purely for enjoyment, and is generally safe for adults in that matter, but it can also be used for medicinal purpose. It lowers anxiety, speeds up recovery and slows the weakening of body from inactivity in general. Whoever drinks it will get a sensation of warmth, and makes them feel more content.”
