Fellowship of the Dice

The trio leaves the hall in conversation with one another about the nature of many things, man and elf, greed and vengeance, healing and health. Seeking the lord of the house the group is able to eventually find Erestor, one of Lord Elronds great councilors. Erestor is probably the most prominent individual in the household of Elrond, second only to Glorfindel. He is counted among the wise, and he is the chief of Elrond's personal counsellors. He is also a scribe and an illuminator of manuscripts – many books and parchments kept in Rivendell have been written and decorated by the skilled hand of Erestor. But his cunning is not limited to that. In a small building filled with glass vessels of many shapes and sizes, Erestor prepares miruvor, the precious cordial of Imladris. The wise Elf distills it using more than one hundred herbs and plants, in a formula known only to himself. The counsellor of Elrond leaves the House of his Master twice a year for several days, when he goes about the mountain dales to search for the ingredients he needs.

Meeting wit the great elf lasts only a few moments as you quickly express your desire to speak to Lord Elrond about the topic at hand, and of the health of the Dunedain. Erestor assures you that he will bring your query to Lord Elrond and councils patience in both matters.
