She was called Lálisin, the Wise Elm, in her people’s ancient tongue, and she was a healer, one of the very few who could still heal the wounds of the Earth, torn by the Dark Lord’s malice.
She was supposed to remain with her people, to keep the forest healthy and evil creatures out of it. But times were dark, and her people needed more protection than her powers could provide. The Sindar offered that protection, in exchange of a lasting alliance.
And so she would wed the young golden Prince of the Sindar and hope she had chosen well.
