Before coming to Middle Earth, I spent some time in Numenor. One day while walking in a wood of Elm trees, I heard some shouts coming from a nearby river. Running to it, for the shouts seemed shouts of distress, I saw in the middle of the river a man that seemed to be having trouble swimming. Without thinking for my safety, i jumped into the water and rescued him. It turns out that the ordinary looking man was in fact a Numenorean Prince. He had been crossing the river in a small boat when it capsized, and injuring his leg he could not swim, and would surely have drowned if I had not arrived in time. After healing, and escorting him to his home, he showed his gratitude by granting me any gift in his treasury or lands. But since I had no need for expensive or lavish trinkets, I chose a staff, 1,50 metres in length, made from the Oiolairė tree, an evergreen tree brought to Numenor by the Eldar of Eressėa. It emitted a sweet scent that reminded me of the fair gardens of Irmo in Valinor. To me it was priceless, but the Prince thinking that it was a lowly gift, had his smiths put a single white diamond (my birth stone) at one end of the staff. It was held by a silver clasp in the shape of a claw. Thus I received my staff which has never left my side since that day. Unlike other staffs, mine does not possess any magical powers. I only use the staff to direct the power that I summon with spells. |
