| Pallando Race: Ainur (Maiar) Sex: Male Age: Unknown/Immortal Class: Istari (Wizard) Height: 5'10" Weight: 150 lbs Hair: Long, ragged, white Eyes: Blue Skin: Pale Flesh-toned Colors: Blue Before you sits an old gentleman, with a not unkind face. He is weather beaten, and appears weary from his travels. He is dressed in a long, free flowing robe of blue, belted at the middle with a sash of white, a tall pointed hat adorns his head, and from beneath it flows a mane of white. His hand is resting lightly on a tall wooden staff. Runes appear to be carved on it, but when you look directly at it, it appears as plane wood. He seems to be enjoying both the fire and food that abound in this small building. He beckons you over to him, and talks in a not voice that, even though you can hear it fine, sounds like a whisper of breath. He tells of the timeless halls, the lands of the Ainur; he speaks of Alamaren and its great lamps, of Valimar and its trees, the lands of the Valar and Maiar. And of the enemy, of Melkor, the Dark Lord of Middle Earth, the one who, through trickery and deceat destroyed both kingdoms of the Valinor. When his telling is done, he rises slowly, and moves toward the door. His path leads him East, but along the way he remembers the past and its mistakes. He is here to fix one of them, if possible and time allows. Pallando is one of the five Wizards who eventually arrive at Middle-earth, moreover, he is one of the Blue Wizards, or Ithryn Luin, those who stopped not in the West lands but continued East. For our purposes, he arrived before his brethren and these are some of his adventures in the West-Lands, before the arrival of his brother Alatar, and the other Istari. Called Vananhae, The 'Far' or 'Long' Walker by the elves for his journey is never completed and always must he move on Equipment: He carries with him, a Staff, and not one seen every day either. A little taller then him, being 6 ft in height. The wood is bronzed, ending with a spiraling knot that makes one wonder if it was created magically or naturally. The other end is shod in silver, and banded in thin spirals of silver every 2 feet stopping near the top of the staff. It is the symbol of his calling, his craft, and the focus of his spells. His robes and hat are of blue, of a strange cloth, though they seem old they don't wear thin or ragged, and provide the wearer with warmth in cold, and are light and cool in the heat. Pallando carries all that he needs on his person. Located amongst the folds of his robe, and on the inside of his sash are many pockets, though him being a wizard, they are more than they seem. Components and materials both mundane and magical can be found next to each other. He delights in amazing small children with tricks and adults with stories of the past.

The words that once shaped the world, it has power in it still. -Elven: The tongue of the race of elves, older than all but the language of the Arda.
