Amarthelwen (toastedlembas)
Amarthelwen was born in Eregion, in SA 1273.
When she was deemed ready, Amarth became the apprentice of a craftsmaster. She was quite skilled, and he gave her a beautiful staff. It was not until later that she found its hidden secret, the blade inside. She usually keeps it capped. The weapon is precious to her, and she never lets it out of her sight.
In SA 1596, Amarth and her mother, Anarsilwyn, fled the destruction of Eregion. Her father, Dondurion, stayed behind to try to defend the country. Dondurion was never heard from again, and Amarth assumes that he perished in the fighting.
Anarsilwyn and Amarth stayed in Imladris for a time, with the other survivors of Eregion. For Anarsilwyn, the grief around was too much, so she left, with her young daughter, to live in Lothlorien, where she had relatives.
Amarth and her mother both lived in Lothlorien, for a time. Yet again, Anarsilwyn became restless, and next moved them both to Mirkwood.
There they lived happily for a while, but Amarth wanted to fight and defend her country. Anarsilwyn would not let her, so Amarthelwen left her and moved back to Lothlorien, where she serves as a ranger in the Guard. Her job often has her travelling, scouting out Middle-Earth to bring news back to her Lord and Lady.
Unbeknownst to Amarth, Anarsilwyn eloped with a man from Dale shortly after she left, and Amarthelwen now has a younger half-elven sister, Tirithiel.
