Here's what I've got so far.

Chapter 1 – Long Years Ago

As it is written in the Red Book of Westmarch, the Third Age ended with the War of the Ring and the Ring Bearer going over the Sea to Rest in the West. With the end of the Third Age, so ended the reign of the Elves in Middle Earth. Yet there were a few who stayed; Elladan and Elrohir Halfelven, sons of Elrond and Celebrian of Rivendell, King Thranduil of Mirkwood, and Lord Celeborn of Lothlórien.

With the end of the Third Age and the destruction of Sauron, the Necromancer, the realm of Mirkwood was restored to its splendor and renamed Eryn Lasgalen, the Wood of Greenleaves. This is where my tale begins.

My name is Ainu Alassë, an Elf from the realm of Lindon, on the River Lhûn. This was once the realm of Oropher, the father of Thranduil. My great-great-great grandmother, Lindoameldawen, Beloved Maiden Singer, was the sister of Thranduil. After the departure of Oropher and Thranduil, she stayed in Lindon for her lover, Thronalarca, Swift Eagle. They were soon married and bore three wonderful children; a son Furinecco – A concealed spear -, and two daughters Rínawilwarin, Crowned Butterfly, and Daughter of My Bereavement. She was thus named, for in her birth Lindoameldawen died.

I need a name for Daughter of My Bereavement. I don't know much Quenya or Sindarian, but I am trying. If you see an error in the names, please tell me.
