1 OTHER city-realms had had their own rulers long before Mithar called for her own. Since the early days following the Great Departure, a council of three lords rose to the task of leading the ones who remained behind in the Grey City. Forgotten they were called. But out of fear or trepidation of those who clamored beyond the walls, those Mitharians crowned one of the three. So began their rule and herein are the names and deeds mustered to the call.
2 TWENTY-ONE remained behind after the Great Elven Departure from Middle-earth following the devastation of the Ring War. Those arrogant brethren fled leaving us behind: Beirdan, Holmath, Adoromir, Finomal, Nathveiren, Kielmeth, Galadir, Valinada, Elhuron, Celegreth, Symodare, Seariphim, Lyreah, Fay’Lorin Celegreth, Sal’Gilvan, Baal’Yick, Legandriel, Nuthcorlan, Nolmithlon, Vethdema, and Vendumar.
3 OVER and above those twenty-one Watchers; three stood forth and counseled the others following the death of the sage Symodare: Baal’Yick, Nolmithlon and Vendumar. Six weeks following that Great Departure, the remnant called for peace and a single voice to plead their case before the growing number of Men that pressed upon the city gate for entrance. As such, Vendumar was crowned the first king of Mithar before the Nasilian men and the dwarf lords of Mount Jebul.
4 IN the first year after the Great Departure, King Vendumar decreed that that one event would begin their calendar as New Year’s Day. The king also called for those who remained behind, who refused to venture to the Undying Lands beyond the sea’s western rim; that they recall their reasons for staying. These collected memories and chronicles would be kept alongside the listing of Kings and rulers, deeming their deeds and histories as well. The tongue of Sinenya would be their language and all volumes crafted afterward would be with its characters.
