[Child of the 7th Age]

"Endamir, I know your heart is troubled, and I do not wish to add to its burden. Only, like you, I have seen and known too much to rest easy in this matter....not merely in the First Age but through all the long years that followed. I have seen Elves start out with grace and goodness, only to be overwhelmed by an evil that is almost too great for them to comprehend. It is hard for me to believe that any good can come from this venture. But, yes, you are also right about Malris."

With a sigh, Lindir shook his head, staring out at the vessel that was to bear the party to Himring, "I will stand by Malris, despite my belief that it would be best to let this thing lie. Whether the journey brings the hope and peace he desires, or only travail and pain for us, I will not turn my back on him. Let us go now. For Malris approaches, and may have something to say to us."
