Background
Rondonberiannen is his Sindarin name that means "protected by God" in Westron, but in the old language of tradition – Quenya – hes is called “Eruvarno”.
He is an elf who belongs to a very old Noldor’s bloodline and he was born at first moments of First Age of Sun in The Middle Earth.
He lived in Falas at service of Círdan in those lands of shores after the Nargothrond’s fallen, when he had dedicated his tasks to scouting and guard the ways and paths especially those around of marks of the Kingdom of Finrod.
So the destiny did not be generous, when the evil and its destruction and malevolence came and ruined the beloved land forcing Rodonberiannen run away from his home and go ahead to west after battle: he lived not much time at service of Círdan until occurs one more tragic fate, another fallen of the Falas’ curse.
So he went to Isle of Balar following his lords and served under their command to receive and protect the refugees of darkness’ invasion.
He fought in the War of Wrath, besides his responsibilities in that time did not be different, as a guard of marks and scouting ways before battles and skirmishes.
After the end of that age, he refused to leave the Middle Earth, because was not time to go to The Aman: he has heard the signals of his heart and something was not finished in the book of his life in Middle Earth.
Then he stayed in Lindon – founded recently by his lords – like others of remaining Elves from a changed world by Valar’s hands.
During brief times, Rodonberiannen thought the peace was coming finally, but the malice persisted in the terrible war against the Morgoth’s serve and then the elf began to feel tired of suffering.
Before the end and before the forgetfulness, the other people helped the elves and the elves helped the other people, and Rodonberiannen was there in various circumstances for his land and his folk, for the alliances and his friends, for believe in every moment how was necessary to resist against the shadow and villainy.
There are numerous memories and tales, any happy but almost all sad, very clear in his mind: too much facts those touched his life and now he feels the wish to leave the disenchantment behind the sea and navigate to the Undying Lands.
The sadness met place into his heart, perhaps his time is coming finally, time to regress to Tol Eressëa.
He has been seen in Falathlorn actually and there Rodonberiannen does his duty on watching: he is 'I 'ondagoldirn', The Keeper of Falathrim Milestones.
(ooc: he usually stands near of elvish milestones).
He is tied to his word about the duties:
"Im Rodonveriannen veor Lindon. Im canannen ah estannen na i'ondagoldirn: carth nín verio i'ondagol Falathrim a guil nín. Gûr nín lacha ned veleth, faer nín revia ned estel, renc nín linnar ned lind: Im veria i'ondagol a bo hen Im anno beth nín. Im cara i'west."In Westron it sounds something like that:
"I am Rodonveriannen, vassal of Lindon. I am called and known as The Keeper of The Milestone: my duty is protect the Falathrim Milestone with my life. My heart flames in love, my spirit flies in the hope, my weapons sing in the air: I protect The Milestone and upon that I give my word. I make the oath."| Friends | unknow (yet) |
