To however is reading this book now, I'd probably be long dead, but this is a tale almost no one would tell you, and its a mighty good one too.

So, as some of you know, the Avari are split up into 7 clans: The Cuind, Kindi, Hwenti, Hisildi, Penni, Windan and Kinn-lai. Originally, these tribes were split into four groups, called the Limpedhel, Taurestralrim, Caranedhil and the Harutaurim. They were split due to geograpical reasons, the Limpedhel living around the coasts and more western then any other Avar, the Taurestralrim, living in the deep forests of Rhun, against the Red Mountains and in the Northern Forests, the Caranedhil living in the Redwood Forests and their main dwelling point being Tol Rhunaer, and the Harutaurim, their home was lost after the War of Wrath, they lived in a forest completely encircling a mountain, its name lost to history. This forest was known as Taurelen. The Limpedhel mainly consisted of Penni and some Cuind Avari, the Taurestralrim consisted of Cuind, Kindi and Kinn-lai, the Caranedel consisted of only the Windan, and the Harutaurim consisted of Hwenti and Hisildi. Now, as the War of the Wrath ended, not just Beleriand was affected. Cuivienen, was gone, left only with what men now call the Sea of Rhun. The forest of Taurelen and the mountain it sorrounded, was almost completely decimated. The Hwenti that lived there, all fled up to the forests of the Taurestralrim, which were the group almost unnaffected by the land changes. All the Hisildi refused to leave, and stayed in Taurelen... and it is said that the Hisildi rebuilt Taurelen, and their city survived. The Limpedhel in the east were affected, Arta Ilma was layed to ruin, but the Limpedhel later known as the Elves of Dorwinion thrived and later mingled with the men that came to the land. The Caranedhil were almost wiped out like the Hisildi and Hwenti, since they lived on an island, the island recieved many floods and earthquakes, killing three quarters of the population. They survived, and with half their island, rebuilt their people.

The only people that seem to have not split, are the Taurestralrim. They were at first different clans, but their names as clans are somewhat ceremonial, as all of the Taurestralrim live together: Their cities mixed with Cuind, Kindi and Kinn-lai. The only difference between them, is the hair and eyes: Mainly, Cuind have grey eyes and white blonde hair, the Kindi having brown and black and the Kinn-lai having brown, black and red hair.

The Avari are a divided folk, but are aware of one another, and work together, as different kingdoms, but as one people. Only the Hisildi and some Penni are excluded from this.

This is my final book to the world, as I am writing this in an Easterling Palace, captured and about to be tortured... I hope you've enjoyed my story on why the Avari are split.. and I may your hunt be prosperous!
