QUESTIONS AND INFORMATION
QUESTION: What is Naeriel's relation to her father?
ANSWER: Camaenor was the brightest shinning star in Naeriel’s past. All she wanted as a child was to put a smile on her father’s face and make him forget the sadness of the past. Whenever he laughed, the elleth discovered her day became much brighter than before. Slowly, as years went by, the shadows in Camaenor’s eyes were chased by his daughter’s exuberance and her clear love for his craft.
​
The ellon became her first teacher. Camaenor taught her everything he knew about forging. As the years went by and she grew tall enough to reach the forges, he allowed Naeriel to help him, at first in little ways, then in much more important ones. Her first training prior to her apprenticeship was held with him as well. Naeriel helped him forge blades for the hunters and the guards of Nan Elmoth.
​
However, during the War of Wrath, facing the greatest horrors Morgoth could conjure, Naeriel’s fears came true. Camaenor was slain. The War came to an end and Naeriel found herself injured, but alive. Her father was dead, her family was dead and her friends were dead. She was the one to like the flames on the pyres of all of them and watch as their ashes scatter in the wind, while Beleriand sunk under the seas.
