Lady Anmoriel Mori Anmôriel-Arael Vanariel is the mortal daughter of Arwen Undomiel and Aragorn Elessar, King and Queen of Gondor; twin sister to Andorëiel-Árarilya Vanariel. She was born in Gondor, and lived there for the first portion of her life. After a while she grew tired of life in the White City, and was anxious to see the Elves, the kin of her mother. Despite the rumors she heard of the danger of traveling in the wild, she and Andorëiel left Minas Tirith - Andorëiel making for Mirkwood, and Anmôriel with no particular aim. For years she wandered the face of Arda, running into battles sometimes, and occasionally suffering near-death injuries. It was purely by chance that Anmôriel finally came to Lothlórien, for she had no map, and relied completely on her memories of the geography she had been taught as a child. She stayed in Lórien for many years, but time seemed not to pass. When she brought herself to leave Lothlórien for Rivendell, she still felt and looked as young as she had entered - she didn't know if it was because of the 'magic' of the golden wood, or for some other unfathomable reason. In Rivendell, she came to love the Elves that she met, and was taken in to live with a kind Elf named Vanyohtarië, who soon earned the title "mother." Several months later, she met a young orphaned Elf named Larwen, and offered to adopt her as her own daughter. For a short time she was also married to Maegnas, another of the inhabitants of Imladris. Shortly after, there was a conflict and he left for Gondor. It was a joyous day in Anmôriel's life when her sister Andorëiel finally arrived in Rivendell as well. Anmôriel experienced good times and bad times both, in Rivendell, but after a while, without knowing why, she felt an urgency to leave. So she departed from beautiful Imladris and rode to Gondor, her birthplace. For several weeks she stayed happily in Minas Tirith, but this contented feeling would not last for her. She went back to Rivendell to find that much she had known had now changed. There she dwells now, still restless. Back to the top Return to the front page of the book
