So it was in the beginning of the Age of Man, after the Dark Lord Sauron was cast down by a halfling yet before the death of he whom united the lost kingdoms of the North and the South, that I was sent by the Doomsman of the Valar to bring help to Middle Earth. For it was Namo whom called for me, and said unto me; "Le Rois, it has been commanded by he who has created all that ye shall be stripped of the greatest of your powers, that of foresight; and that you assume the physical form of a mortal man, and use your wisdom and knowledge to help those whom have survived the onslaught of darkness and the hard days of ole’; that ye shall bring with ye the message of hope carried to Middle Earth by all that are sent to those lands; and that ye will fall after the fulfillment of your purpose". And I asked Him of my purpose, and He rose in prescence and spoke again, in a commanding voice that commanded armies and foretold the future: "You shall discover this purpose when they who need you discover thee!" I accepted His words only because one cannot question He who commands. It was Manwe, He who is closest to Eru, that gave unto me the command to "Beware, for threats are there still for the unwary Maia in Middle Earth. Always give and seek council with the kingdoms of mortal men, and also with the elves and dwarves who live still in the mortal lands. Remember the council of the greatest king of men, he who sits on the throne of the kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor!"
