A/N: I do not own Tolkien´s characters or plot line.

I do own the Naur and any characters that I choose to place in this story. Thanks.

Prologue:

The Naur

To dive into this story, you´ll have to know a few things.

First of all is that there are many races in Arda that will probably never be mentioned in one of Tolkien´s books as they are either to small and of no significance to actually be mentioned during the story line or they have nothing to do with the plot.

Second is that those races are either lost or havent made an appearance in a long time.

Third thing is that to understand the Naur, one of said races, you have to know a little bit of their history.

The Naur first appeared in the north of Middle-Earth, in the witchkingdom of Angmar. They have been said to have aided the dark lord and the Valar Morgroth. The Naur would deny that if you ever asked one of them. Truth is that they have some connection to the dark Valar but not the dark lord.

The people of the Naur were spirits once, living in Middle-Earth that the Valar and most of the First Born had left. Some say that they had been created together with everything that is in Arda, during the time of Eru´s great song. They say that they have been good spirits until Morgoth corrupted them but found afterwards that they had no true use for them. They roamed the far east, where these days the Kingdom of Erebor and Dale lie. They chose a human like form when the Second Born, the humans, awoke and for a while they tried to live among the Second Born but to no avail as the humans could feel the darkness radiating from them and forced them out.

They lived close to the Ered Ungol for a long time until they spread out into the world to discover more places to live. During the third age they wandered through Middle-Earth, trying to find a new place to call home as the darkness that will forever dwell in the Ered Ungol drove many sane minds into insanity. They never found a home truly and until today they still keep wandering through the wilderness and the great mountains of Middle-Earth. Most of them are nomads, but some happened to stubble upon hills where graves lie. Those hills are know by the Shirefolk that lives close by as the Towerhills.

Their gifts have been unknown to many races as they would not venture close to a Naur camp. They say that darkness dwells among those people and truly it does in the form of demons and spirits of darkness. The Naur draw everything dark and evil in, should those things ever cross their way. And those things cross their ways on a daily basis. The Naur can keep those dark beings at bay if they wish to enslave them, but sometimes they become friends with the dark beings and those creatures simply stay with them as pets (if you actually can call them pets).

Something like this happened during the Fell Winter, when wolves ventured into the Shire and ran berserker among the gentle Shirefolk known as Hobbits. The Hobbits, unable to defend themselves against the great beasts, hid in their smials and prayed to Yavanna that all of it would soon be over. Their hopes were shattered when orcs came after the wolves and raided the East and West Farthings. The Naur which had just settled into the Towerhills at that time, tried to aid the Shirefolk and drove the orcs through South Farthing and out of the Shire, capturing a demon horse among the way which was later gifted to the head of their clan. The Naur from then on stood watch over the Shire even after the King of Arnor tried to banish them from the Towerhills.

In the aftermath of the Fell Winter and the settlement of the Naur, a child was born to their leader, Kel. It was the first female born to them in 200 years and the third child of Kel and Amara. She was called Kor and to her the demon horse was gifted when she came of age. The two formed a friendship of a kind (because you can´t truly be friends with a dark creature) and grew up together. While her two older brothers, Rheagal and Darrian, were quiet often send to aid the Hobbits, Kor was kept among the Towerhills for a long time.

Until one fateful day a grey wizard came to see her.
