Elves

Calentauriel sought one who had seen the wreckage of Isengard, and who would be willing to tell her of their experience. Eregiel accompanied her sister to ensure that she was not overly bothersome. Those they found who had seen Isengard in its ruined state were either occupied preparing for their return to Edoras or were taking rest before their departure. At last they found upon Éomer, Third Marshall of the Riddermark and, since the death of Prince Théodred, King Théoden's heir.

Rivendell,

A couple of months earlier

Redandir was sitting on the grass near one of many bodies of water in the Valley. He had a straw in his mouth and was looking at the water, all in his thoughts.

“Rivendell seems like a nice place, probably even better than my homeland. And elves here are so lovely too. At least those that I’ve met…”

The Grey Company crossed at a ford in the River Glanduin into Enedwaith, a once heavily forested region that lay between the north and south kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor, respectively. The kingdom of Arnor had come to an end one thousand years before the present time after years of pestilence and war, most notably against the Witchking of Angmar. The Rangers and their kin were all that remained of the folk of the kingdom that Elendil had established after the drowning of Númenor. 

Thibinoriel, Celebthondil, and members of their family sat comfortably at their dining table as they broke their fast. Suddenly, there came a knock at the door which Thibinoriel answered. It was a messenger bearing a note from Lady Galadriel. Thibinoriel thanked the messenger and placed a small green gem in his hand. She carefully opened the note and began to silently read it. When she had finished she returned to the dining table to share the news.
