Edlennion Ornos- Exiled Son of the Tree family
“There was once a great city of elves hidden from the eyes of Morgoth. This city was Gondolin, built by Turgon and home to our ancestors. They belonged to the House of the Tree, one of the twelve great houses of the city. The House of the Tree was led by Galdor, rumored to be one of the bravest elves in Gondolin, save Glorfindel and Turgon. In the year 480 of the First Age, your great grandfather Echadorn committed a crime forgotten by our family. Although he was a respected warrior the punishment was exile. Since then our family has resided in Lindon, but we still bear the shame of exile and the punishment of not being able to defend our House and the city of Gondolin during its fall in the F.A.”
This was the story retold to Edlennion while he was young by his late mother. His father, she had told him, left soon after Edlennion was born trying to restore his family’s honor. It is believed he perished in the Misty Mountains, which left Edlennion to be raised by his mother. As soon as Edlennion was strong enough to hold a weapon he commited himself to training in the way of the spear, the weapon used by Galdor during the fall of Gondolin.
When his mother passed, Edlennion was free from the dread of bringing grief to his mother, and set out to restore honor to his family.
