Greetings fellow kinsmen, I am at your service. Having returned from a very long adventure throughout Middle Earth to lands which only a few of you traveled to, I am once again rendering my service to those most dear to me; my kin. Long have I struggled through Eriador and Rhovanion, learning the secrets of the horse masters in Rohan, and spending time with those most wise, my dear friends, the Elves. In my journey I have learned much, all of which I am willing to divulge to any pair of eager ears I stumble across. Long have I feared the depths of Moria, and I continue to fear the evil that lurks there. For good reason I must add. I prefer to trudge along those winding paths which I am familiar with, spreading word of the Light of Valinor, a savior to all that may heed my words. I return willingly, after a year on the road, to those that stood by me in the past.

And so, now the time has come for me to fulfill the destiny of my bloodline, the Dunedain. I must honor those that gave me life, and claim the true right of my name. My name is all that I have, we Eledhrim are aware of that, and seek to honor those that passed on this legacy. I know that now is the time that I must finally face my fears. I hope that the many lessons I have learned throughout my travels may assist me in my endeavor. I have learned many things, but the most important lesson passed on to me is that nothing is as valuable to a traveler as a brave and stout-hearted companion. And so, I shout out to all, join me!

Fear not the dark, fear not wrath of Mordor, fear not those that seek to send our beloved lands to ruin, for I do not! And above all, know that when standing in the face of fear itself, the light of those few remaining blessed and good-hearted citizens of Middle Earth stand with you in spirit. Their beacon of light, the Light of Valinor, will always shine through one that stands, courageous, in the face of fear.
