In Dreams
Prolog
House of a Thousand Jeweled Threads
The workshops known as Bar-Meneg-Mir-Lain had been famous for more than three thousand years producing tapestries and other needlework treasures that were the pride of great human and elven households throughout Middle Earth. The consistency of the high quality of the work produced had earned and maintained their outstanding reputation over the centuries.
Bar-Meneg-Mir-Lain resulted from a partnership formed between Serindi, an elleth who had earned a reputation for the beauty and artistry of her creations, both needlework and woven tapestries, and her husband, Thavron, a skilled woodworker and carver.
Their family included a son, Aegnor and a daughter, Lalaith. Aegnor and his wife Hareth, were killed in an orc attack leaving their small daughter Amarie behind. Surpassing her grandmother in both design ability and skills, Amarie also proved capable in the management of the workshops and when her grandparents and aunt Lalaith answered the call to the Western Lands, they didn’t hesitate in turning the workshops over to her.
Over the next two hundred and seventy years the small elven town on the western border of Mirkwood shrank down to less then half its original two thousand inhabitants as various elves heeded the call to the Western Lands and increasing orc attacks took their toll. Amarie now faced the necessity of finding a safer haven for the workshops and her people.
Note:
Serindi was a name given to Miriel, the mother of Feanor, because of her surpassing skill in weaving and needlework. Amarie’s grandmother was named for her.
