Prologue
Long ago, the leader of Imaldris, Lord Elrond, received a dream. In this dream, the voices of the Valar spoke to him of a child and a prophecy. He was to go to the nearby woods, and find the young girl and bring her back with him. The Valar told Elrond that she was half elf, but would say no more of her lineage. They breathed the words of a prophecy in his ear before he awoke.
Frantic, the Elf Lord wrote down the location of the young elleth, and the details of the dream. However, the only words of the prophecy that he could remember as the dream faded were: she will be the downfall of evil. Upon finishing his account, Elrond set out into the forest to retrieve the girl.
What he found was not what he had expected, however. He found a baby, wrapped in silver blankets. He picked her up and she opened her eyes. Elrond jolted, for her eyes were of two separate colors. One was as silver as the stars and moon, while the other was as dark as night. She looked at him knowingly, and uttered no sound, but simply smiled as if knowing she was safe.
Years passed, and Elrond raised the child as his own. They called her Ithil after the moon, for she was found in the moonlight and bore its light in her gaze. Ithil had an unmatched talent with knowledge. She was a linguist, and by the end of two centuries was fluent in any tongue. She spent her free time in the palace libraries, studying and remembering the words she read. Upon investigation, it was shown that after reading a page once, she could recall the words exactly, no matter how long ago she read them.
Seeing her love for knowledge, Elrond asked the court Scholars to mentor her. They accepted willingly, for they had come to love the girl with her quiet nature and keen mind. Centuries passed, and she would often travel to other libraries across Middle Earth, gathering knowledge that could then be recorded in books for the people of Imaldris to read. She travelled far, and was soon well know by many people as the Ambassador of Knowledge. The name she came to be known by was Hodoer, or Wise One.
She studied for many more centuries, and travelled far and wide. Year after year the prophecy grew closer to being fulfilled. A ring was found far underground that set in motion events that would lead to the prophecy's passing. And it would pass, Elrond knew, for it had been decreed by the Valar themselves.
