Alameth's story
Alameth paused slightly before answering Eleniel’s question. “Not business, really, but it’s quite a long story,” she said. “I’ll try to be brief, but I’m known for running on and on with my tales.”
“You see, my father was killed in the War of the Ring; the battle of the Pelennor Fields, to be specific. My mother died of grief shortly after. My brother and I were left to fend for ourselves. I’m only nineteen, though you may think I look older, and I’ve never been more than five miles from Edoras. My brother challenged me to make this trip. He seems to think that just because I’m a woman, I don’t have the strength for such a journey.”
“I suppose I’ve proved him wrong now, but I must admit that I’m at a loss to know what to do next. I had hoped you might be able to help.”
