==='''Seer of '''=== In the twilight of Beleriand, where the echoes of music from Valinor mingled with the shadow of Morgoth, there stood a human warrior, a friend of the Elves, who was a beacon of hope and courage: Marke Eryndor, known as the Silver Flame. Appearance Marke was a towering figure, standing at nearly seven feet tall, his frame broad and powerful, yet graceful—a testament to both his mortal lineage and the years spent among the Eldar. His hair was a cascade of silver, luminous as the light of Telperion, the elder of the Two Trees, gifted to him as a mark of friendship by the Noldorin smiths. His piercing gray eyes carried both wisdom and sadness, reflecting the burden of his mortal life in an immortal struggle. Attire and Colors Marke was clad in a gleaming suit of mithril mail, light as a feather yet unyielding as dragon scales, gifted to him by the Elves of Nargothrond. Over it, he wore a long, flowing cloak of deep green, edged with silver thread that shimmered like starlight, symbolizing his bond with the forests of Doriath and their Sindarin protectors. His leather boots were dyed a dark gray, allowing him to tread as silently as a shadow, an art he had learned from the Elves of Doriath. Weapons Galanthil, the Flame of Twilight: His primary weapon was a longsword forged by the master smith Telchar of Nogrod. The blade shimmered with a faint silvery-blue light, akin to the last glimmer of twilight before the stars emerged. Inscribed along its fuller were runes of protection and courage in the Elven tongue. It was said the sword burned with a cold fire when wielded against creatures of Morgoth, making it a bane to all that served the darkness. Dorandrûn, the Stalwart Shield: A round shield of enchanted wood from the forests of Doriath, reinforced with mithril. Upon its surface was emblazoned the emblem of a silver flame encircled by a crown of stars, a gift from the Elf-maiden Elenna, who had loved him. Aeglin, the Star-Spear: A weapon of great reach and elegance, it was crafted from a single branch of an enchanted Mallorn tree and tipped with a mithril blade. The spear was a gift from the Teleri of the Falas, who revered his courage in defending their havens. Personality and Deeds Marke was known for his unwavering sense of honor and his unbreakable bond with the Elves. Though mortal, he was counted among the mightiest warriors in Beleriand, having fought in some of the most decisive battles of the First Age. His voice was deep and commanding, yet he spoke with a quiet humility that endeared him to friend and stranger alike. Among his greatest deeds: He defended the gates of Nargothrond against a horde of Orcs, holding the line alongside the sons of Fëanor. He once journeyed into Angband disguised as a servant of Morgoth to rescue captives, a feat that earned him great renown. He stood beside Fingon in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, where he slew a troll-chief with Galanthil but was gravely wounded. Legacy Though Marke was thought to be mortal, his deeds earned him an immortal place in the songs of the Elves. His death came in the Dagor Bragollach, where he fell protecting a group of Elven refugees from a dragon. It is said his spirit rose as a silver flame in the night sky, a reminder of his courage and loyalty. His tomb was raised near the river Sirion, and even in ruin, it stands as a testament to the friendship between Men and Elves in the dark days of Beleriand.
