Kelet (Elira) can't live down the fact that she could yet have kin in the East beyond Rhûn in the Avari clans, and that the Avari know nothing of Valinor, and are lingering in marred Arda, eventually to fade. She has in mind to be something of an evangelist and travel back east across Rhûn, and tell the Avari of what she has learned regarding the Valar and Valinor, and to urge any of them to travel back west with her and see for themselves, and eventually take the grey ships. I am certain her words will make somewhat of a ruckus especially if these people have lost thought and knowledge of Aman and the Valar. I've been playing up that the Sea of Helcar the Avari so desperately loved (and the bay of Cuivenen) were destroyed in the War of Wrath in the first age (all that is left of it is the Sea of Rhun, and the Sea of Nurn in Mordor), and that some of the Avari are still watching and waiting and looking for this sea which they almost worship, hoping it will be returned to them.
It would be fun if anyone else wishes to play along as some Avari elves... we are a little ways off from having Kelet and Adanedhel make it to the East, as they are still getting ready, and will probably make it there in the 3012 plots. And I assume there could be some fun plots regarding their time in Rhun seaside/jungles travels, and dealing with Easterlings on the way back and who knows what else. Or maybe they'll team up and help the Blue Wizards for awhile. Open for plot ideas depending on who joins.
Kelet met an elf named Liridon in a one shot I wrote (which I will link when I get it posted)... and I think Liridon will play a part in helping her find her kin (her brother) who lives in the Avari clans. OR in helping her brother find her.
Liridon is an Avari Elf who has worked alongside Pallando the Blue Wizard in helping to turn the Easterling Chieftains against each other in Rhûn to decimate their forces. He is a warrior of cunning, in many ways by manipulation, and also by sneaking into settlements and contaminating water sources, and outright poisoning Chieftain's families and leaders. He assisted in the decimation of fictional city Nalaikh where Elira was lived as an Oracle and also a captive most of her life. The entire city was poisoned with the exception of certain prisoners who were not given drinking water. Liridon helped to free Elira from the observatory tower where she lived, and wished her to go back to his Avari clan on the Eastern Sea with him, but she refused and he allowed her to leave. He is going to be taking word of the Oracle to her brother, Bardhyl, who is his friend or acquaintance, which sets Bardhyl on a chase looking for her.
He speaks Erlini, the language used by the clans of Avari which live in the Farthest East along the sea coast and the jungles of Rhûn and Khand (I've been using Albanian for this language), and some broken Rhûnic (Mongolian). He also may know any language that Pallando may have taught him, so he could be among the few Avari in Rhûn to know any Westron, or Quenyan, or Sindarin. Your choice. He also may have met Saruman when he traveled East; he probably has some knowledge or has even met Khamul the Easterling among the Nazgul. I've described him only as tall and dark haired, and thus you could use the PB posted above or one of your choosing (or art). Pretty much all of his personality, history, except for what is listed, family, etc, is up for you to decide! His name means "love of liberty". He could either remain in the East or choose to travel West. You can make him your own, I don't have much a picture for him yet beyond this.
Any other Avari elves who want to join in the travels are also desired! They would likely speak only the Avari language, and thus would have to learn Sindarin/Westron when they reach the western lands, like Elira did. Since the Avari are a split off of the Teleri they should have either white/silver hair, or black. Once they make the return journey to Mirkwood you would be free to go off and and have the elves run their own plots in whichever elven realms they choose to reside, or continue traveling West to Aman.
