Iradan of the Dúnedain

Artwork: Painting

On a page within the sketchbook, a blue-toned ground bears a delicate watercolor portrait of the Ranger Iradan in Tinnúdir, TA 3018 by the elf Ruinano on his travels. It is one of many such quick portraiture studies in this section of the book, clearly done while visiting one of the encampments of the Dúnedain in Evendim.

Chapter XI: In the healing light of the elf-stone

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

Come, come, gather here 
Behold such a saddening tale 
Come, come, take your handkerchief 
It may keep you well.

It came upon the sunrise clear 
That sorrowful song of old 
From Elves bounded to the Earth 
To touch their harps of gold.

The Ranger find himself alone in the wood 
It's magic only forest spirits understood 
He lose himself hoping to find 
The peace of mind he left behind.

Story

Year 2518 of Third Age, autumn

Clear voices rose and fell in the starlit air. One rose above the others. It was singing in the fair elven-tongue.

In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen
I Calar Ithil ed ardhon gwannen
Calad veleg, ethuiannen. 

 

Everything ends.

Chapter VII: "The Ranger and the Maiden Fair"

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

The Lifescroll of Song is a compilation of folk songs and ballads compiled by minstrel Skarde from Dale, during the late reign of Eldarion, King of Gondor in IV Age. It details the common histories and legends from the Rhovanion, and is the source of history about that time. A original of the scroll was presented later to librarians from Pelargir. The copy was later taken to the great library of Erebor, and dwarven sages added some reliable parts.

No Aid

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

The sun had traveled past its noon mark when Lhachiel passed the first stones of the ruins. Her arrival had hailed some isolated warm greetings, yet predominantly raised eyebrows, the latter among those who had only heard, not ever crossed path with her. The sight of a woman bearing arms as readily as the men congregated within these ruins, was an unusual one, and Lhachiel was all too aware of this while trying not to show any signs of unease.

The Last Bridge

Whether the Last Bridge was built by the Arnorians or previous inhabitants of Eriador as far back as the First Age is unknown. The bridge fell under the domain of Arnor and then Rhudaur who maintained it. The Last Bridge marked the only crossing point over the Mitheithel (River Hoarwell) south of the Ettenmoors.

Fornost Erain

After Annúminas was abandoned, Fornost Erain became the capital of Arnor and then Arthedain after the split. The name itself means "Northern Fortress of the Kings." It was destroyed in 1974 of the Third Age during the war against Angmar, leaving the city a mass ruin. In the language of men it was known as Norbury with the nickname Deadman's Dike as it was believed to be haunted and avoided at all costs. Only the Rangers of the North were ever seen entering the city and none knew of what they did within.
