Here is a woman who has spent her entire life in the valley of Rivendell, not quite a prisoner. Aliana's entire existence had dwelt here, until a stranger from the world beyond the falls and woods came to her. A strange man whose likes she'd never known, one who's soul wandered the hills and valleys of Middle-earth as freely as his feet. He had left her, left her behind, and left her with a desire to see what lay beyond the far ridge.
The worlds outside are dangerous these days, of no concern of the elves around her. Aliana knew her time to leave the Eastern shore was approaching, and her heart desired to explore the strange lands. Oh yes, she would pass through them on the way to the Havens, but her path would be controlled, not of her own choosing. So, with the stealth of her kind, Aliana departed from her homeland on a quest that would lead her to lands unknown, to friends yet unmet, and into the wilds of Middle-earth.
