BACKGROUND
Ardriel grew up in a life of lavish privilege in Osgiliath during
its height of power. She never wanted for anything and so from
an early age she lived with the silver spoon in her mouth (quite
literally) and became an insufferable brat for it. For generations,
her family stood upon its laurels of its ancestors, yet did little to continue the good name; thus it wasn’t
surprising in the way Ardriel ended up.
That is, until civil disquiet came to the streets of Gondor’s capitol. There were rumblings of discontent among the masses and rumors
began to fly about who was behind it. Soon came the fomenting of the Kin-Strife and Ardriel discovered herself and what she had
become. Always headstrong and feeling powerless without a cause, she went to her father her family to ask if there was anything she
could do to help the rightful king. Incredulous at his daughter’s impudence, he spurned her offer and laid bare the black heart hidden
behind the family name for so long -- the jealousy and lust for power, and it was power that could be given to those faithful to
Castamir. Distraught and disgusted at the news, she fled from the home she had known all her life and sought a new one away from
the lies and deception of her family.
Ardriel is a woman of uncommon beauty, a daughter of noble blood from both Dol Amroth and Osgiliath. In her is found a hint of the
elven descent of the high nobility in the fortress by the sea, both in her fair form and long sight of her mind. She is forthright and plainspoken,
but can verbally joust with the best of courtiers. Though she’s lived a pampered life and suffered some of the consequences of
it, she does her best to amend who she is, not just her person but to set right her family’s name once again. She has enough personal
wealth in coin and belongings to support her quite well for some time. Since life outside the province of her family has become more
difficult, she keeps her sword that she was taught to use by her elder brothers, nearby but does not carry it often or openly if she can
help it; the dagger is always within reach when having to travel in the Commons.
