The Hall of Fire was still and empty. The large fireplaces, burning with its usual comforting flames, lit the hall with its soft glow. Not a single elf stirred. Except one.

Faorie returned to Imladris after a long, unsuccessful night tracing Thendryt. There were no tracks to follow, no signs to search for, no witnesses to question - a way to locate Thendryt by this point was nonexistent.

Unkempt and slightly dirty, Faorie washed herself and replaced her armour with temporary casual attire. Dark clouds still rolled over Rivendell from the earlier rain accompanied by chill winds unusual for the season. Dried leaves rolled across the roads, making crinkly sounds with every turn the winds would take them.

The Hall of Fire glowed with its usual soft light, elves scattered across the area in small social groups as normally seen. Faorie gazed searchingly around the hall until she found the one she sought – Elisbeth. Straightening herself, she confidently took the steps forward needed to stand beside the lady and leader of the Warband.

Nelnardis held a gathering in celebration of her birthday where Elisbeth, the lady and leader of the Warband, Khalis, Thendryt, and Faorie attended.

Faorie was the first to arrive. She began by congratulating Nelnardis on her special day, and not long after her arrival Khalis had made an entrance of his own.

He was dressed in elegant casual attire, which was not a normal sight to behold, but a pleasant one nevertheless.
