This is the Bio for my intermediate character:

*********************************************
Name: Annanoldowen (which means Gift of Knowledge)

Race: Elf from Rivendell

Age: about 4 and a half thousand years (around the age of Galadriel and Elrond)

Physical description (height, eye colour, hair colour, clothing etc): Stands very tall, about 6 and half feet, and is very slender. She has soft gray eyes, and long blonde hair that falls in ringlets down her back. Annanoldowen is used to wearing the dresses of royalty of Rivendell. For traveling purposes she wears a dark gray riding dress and carries an elvish sword.

Background: Was educated well about the histories of Middle Earth, and is very wise among the elven race. She travels across Middle Earth at the will of Elrond to learn more about its peoples and relations. She has the standard skills of healing and tracking, just enough to survive. She was also taught in hand to hand combat incase she needed to defend herself when there was no access to any weapons. When Elrond left for the undying lands, and Annanoldowen was given the choice, she decided to stay in Middle Earth instead of going with him, because she felt that the people in Middle Earth could benefit from her knowledge. Her family was disappointed, but she was resolved. The elf stayed in Rivendell, which was all but deserted, studying the ways of her people in ancient times. Annanoldowen was beckoned by King Elessar to help educate scholars in the ways of the elves. She became a good companion of the king and his wife, Arwen Undomiel, an old friend. She carries a sword with the words: Annanoldowen, daughter of Rivendell inscribed on the blade in elvish and silver vines entwine the hilt. She doesn’t use a bow, because it is too awkward to carry on her journeys, and she is not so good at it, anyways. Now she runs what is left of the people of Rivendell.

Any special features: Also wears a silver feather pendant on a leather string around her neck.
*********************************************

Alright. Should she send messengers to Lothlorien and Mirkwood too to get an army of some sort together that comes to aid Erebor at the last moment? THey would arrive towards the very end of the RPG. It's just an idea, but I don't think the arrival of our company will defeat the enemy ... any thoughts from anybody?
