Dark Shadow has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

Name: Vanimorén
Place and Date of Birth: SA 927 in Eregion
Age: 5067

Appearance: long dark hair, with deep brown eyes. Wears a grey cloak, and usually dresses in non-conspicuous clothing that allows him to blend in with any surroundings (more often than not trees and woodland features). Generally wears a mithril hilted sword (family heirloom) at his belt, and a bow across his back.

Characteristics: A quiet, calm companion who would rather listen than talk. He is a skilled warrior, in both close combat, and long-range shooting, but values the power of mind over that of physical dominance. He has spent many years focusing on lore and song, and is a poet by nature. He often appears to be moody, and doesn’t like to share his feelings, but he has a true heart.

History: One of the Deep Elves (Noldor), he once dwelt in Eregion (Hollin) near Moria, and has often journeyed there, and so knows the mines better than most elves. In fact, in fun he likes to claim he could find his way around with his eyes closed, and then adds, not that any would need to close their eyes to be lost in such dark. In the days when his family still lived in Erigion, his father often took him to see the mines, and he developed a strange love of the precious metal, mithril. He later inherited a mithril hilted sword that had been passed down his family. It was forged FA 734 and given to his grandfather. Since then, it has seen use in many battles and been of great value to its various owners. After the inhabitants of Eregion left, he came to Rivendell where he since has dwelt in peace (for the most part) studying the lore and songs of the past ages, and writing of what he has himself experienced.
