t was a bleak day 25 years ago when the patrol group of Minas Tirith came to the hills of Rohan on patrol. Several men were visiting a pub in a small village on the outskirts. One man in particular, Amathor Calan, was interested by the simple way the Rohirrim lived. The man fell ill after being attacked by a stray warg. His comrades took him to the healer where a young red-haired lass took care of him while the healer tended to others far worse off than he. "What be your name, lass?"
"Kindiel."
" lovely name for a lovely lady." And that was the beginning of Amathor's true interest in Rohan. He loved the simple way life in this village was and wished to live there with all his heart. But his commitment to Gondor was very important to him, almost as much as Kindiel herself. He was in love and nothing would stop him, even near death when he announced his leaving Gondor for the soft hills of Rohan and his wonderful Kindiel 2 years after he had met the woman.
 hile he had been gone, Kindiel had left the herbs for a much different thing, a sword. She had become a shield maiden and was very well known in some parts of Rohan. She had become wild and free while he had been gone. He forced her to marry him and to stay by his side through the years. Such efforts took their tolls on the woman and she fell tame, broken, and ill. Soon after they wed, Kindiel and Amathor had a son whom they named Aden . They raised him as best they could and 5 years later they were surprised to find that they were once again expecting. On the 7th day of spring, little Gwaelyn Lothorethiel Calan was born to them.
 he family lived on a farm for many, many years. Lothorethiel, as she went by, grew up into a pretty, shy lass with beautiful reddish blonde curls, stormy grey-blue eyes, soft pale skin, and full pink lips. Upon Lothorethiel's 9th birthday, her mother insisted that Rethie be taught the way of the sword, riding, and throwing daggers. This was a drawn out argument between Kindiel and Amathor. In the end, as both parties grew weak, Rethie was allowed to be taught by Aden since they dared not trust any other young gentlemen to train their naive daughter. Rethie was very successful with her training and wished to join the Cavalry but was forbidden to go by her mother. So, though she was well trained, Rethie grew up as a simple farm maiden, destined to not go farther away than the village where her father met her mother.
 he years went by peacefully and Rethie grew into a beautiful lady. On her 16th birthday, Rethie was out riding her horse when Amathor went out hunting with Aden . It was many long weeks before either returned. Kindiel had been growing weaker and Rethie more restless. When Aden came back without his father, he was presumed dead. There had been rumors of orcs around and that is supposedly what happened to him though there is no proof either way. Her mother died soon after of a broken heart and soul. Rethie and Aden took care of the farm until they decided to part ways. Rethie felt her heart calling her to her father's home of Minas Tirith and Aden felt his own calling towards the sea.
  ethie made her way to Minas Tirith starting on her 17th birthday. Deciding to wander, she went about the newly freed Middle Earth. It was around her 19th birthday before she finally arrived in Minas Tirith. She shyed away from all activity for several months. She soon joined the Rangers under the command of Trey Andurandir. She moved her way through the ranks of the Hyandaneri and soon resided as Lieutenant and has since for a year. After her 20th birthday, she fell for a sweet lad she met in Minas Tirith and has been pursuing since. This is where she is now and will be for a long time to come.
