Thoronmir sat at the table with the others who had stayed in the common room. "Well," he said, "I suppose you want to hear my story as well."

"Yes, please tell," said Lumiel.

"I grew up in the Hills of Evendim, which is the very same place we are going to now. I had several friends, one of whom you may have heard of by the name of Halbarad. My friends and I were all summoned to war about 12 years ago at his request. We all fought in the battle of the Pelennor Fields, where all of my friends died except for me."

A silence filled the air around the table.

"Anyway, I've pretty much put it behind me," the Ranger went on, although the others caught the change in his tone and the momentary pause as he fought back the memories. "When I returned to the hills, a younger man had become the leader of my group of Rangers, and I just didn't seem to get along with any of them anymore. So I left them and I've been on my own for about 7 years, wandering around the North with only my horse, Brandir, as my companion. Lately, I've been hearing strange news from the hills, though. Whoever kidnapped Eodwine is also responsible for the disappearance of a large number of Rangers 5 years ago. I would guess that it is some organized force of Men, and that these disappearances are probably only part of a bigger plan. Although it is hard to guess anything about these people at all. Do you have any ideas?"
