Guided Tour

Curious, inquisitive, and at times rather devious, Araquenval views Middle-Earth like many Elves: a place to know, not only to live. He is always willing to try something new, even if his experiments and ideas do not meet with the approval of the rest of the group. A Nodlo, he has incredible poise and can exert much influence with people around him.

Tall, sporting long, flowing, impeccably coiffed hair, and dressed in the finest of garments, Bauglir the Beautiful stands out like few others. Vain and often petty, he nonethless has several talents useful for the survival of the group in a hostile land: he can read position by the stars, predict the weather, and his handy with an axe in battle. His fine blue robe is more than meets the eye, for it allows the wearer to become invisible, and it never gets dirty.

Bradlegar is a Fallowhide Hobbit, known for their curious quests and wandering ways. His nimble fingers and quick mind make hin a good scout: and he knows ropes and locks, and can fire an arrow with deadly accuracy. His pony Sara has been with him for several years and the two are good friends.

With all of time by which to count his life, Dennenor deals with all things with immense patience and calm. Moving methodically and carefully, he weighs events and actions carefully, rarely acting or reacting in a rash manner. He has studied much in his home of Rivendell and learned to use a two handed sword. Now he has been cast unexpectedly into a situation where he often must act quickly, and he may have trouble adapting.

Mîriel is older than her sister Luinár, and works hard to keep her out of trouble, or patches her up afterwards, often as not scolding her for her lack of forethought. For her own protection Mîriel carries both a short sword and a bow, but her skills are more in the healing arts: she prefers to leave the fighting to her sister. Mîriel carries with her a ring that allows her to cast two sleep spells a day, and can fire a bow when the need arises.

Sister to Mîriel, Luinár is the younger of the two. As outspoken as her sister, she prefers action to talk, which often lands her back in her sister's care for repair of cuts and broken bones. Surprisingly strong, she capably fights men and other enemies larger than she, cutting them down to size with her longsword. Like her sister, she can use magic and cast spells, although as a warrior her experience is more limited.

Rhôn-Hari-Rhôn keeps to himself, speaking little, but acting decisively when the need arises. In close combat he uses a war mattock, but for longer range attacks he carries a pair of throwing axes. He has some skills in leather work that enhance his usefulness to the group.
