Among her kin, she held most dear her affection for all living things. You discovered Cordofoneth's flower - said to be one of eight Entwife sisters. Some folk say that one day they will awaken and emerge from the forest - but no one knows when that might be. She gave herself to the Old Forest to ensure that it would grow great enough to protect itself from the incursion of evil such as Orcs and thoughtless Men. Her gardens were sprawling places wrapped in great vines, and enormous trees cast their shade upon acres of fertile ground. She was among the largest of her kind, taller than any other, for the essence of all that grows was at the core of her nature. The flower you found marks the place where the Entwife Dorollin passed into the Old Forest, perhaps forever. Such was her understanding of the arts of cultivation and teaching.Īs with her sisters, she chose to become a part of the Old Forest, that it might endure the encroachment of darkness and evil throughout the years.

Not one seed did she plant, nor youthful mind touch that did not come to fruition, unless it was struck down by unfortunate fate. It was she who was foremost in the arts of nurturing the young, that they might achieve their potential in the fullness of time. You have discovered the flower of Neldorlas, an Entwife of old.

The flowers are said to mark the place where she disappeared into the forest and seem to have been tended by someone.

She passed into the Old Forest many long years ago and became part of the forest, granting her keen senses to the trees and creatures herein that evil might not approach unseen, for those were dark days and few places remained that were untouched by the power of Sauron. None could approach without her knowledge, and those with evil intent would feel her gaze upon them and flee. It is believed that she was once an Entwife who stood with vigilance over her gardens.
