Amanntai is a strange human. After mysteriously appearing in the Shire, he found it perfectly acceptable to walk into hobbits homes and take their things. Nevertheless, he never harmed a hobbit, and soon left the Shire for other lands. He stayed awhile in Eriador, befriending the Dunédain and fending off a couple Gundabad invasions of the lands of Eriador. Amanntai, newly experienced in combat, and fitted with the armor of the Rangers, headed South through the empty lands of Enedwaith. He crossed the Isen into the Highlands of Rohan, before leaving the ruined lands there behind and heading south into the lower part of Rohan. He found the Rohirrim to be quite amicable, and shared many a mug of mead with them, even introducing some to Rum, his preferred (though quite strong) beverage.

After a long and happy time in Rohan, Amanntai traveled further south, into the White Mountains. He briefly served as a guard on the Beacon Towers there, before heading East into Gondor and arriving at the proud city of Minas Tirith. Befriending the people of Gondor, he worked as a smith and a brewer, crafting many fine pieces of weapons and armor for the Men of Gondor, and many a fine barrel of Rum for himself.

Hearing of the legendary wealth of the Iron Hils, Amanntai headed North up the Anduin river valley, stopping for a time in Lothlorien. He then continued North. Deeming Mirkwood far too dangerous, he traversed the Grey Mountains and the tundra to the Iron Hills. After briefly mining there, he returned to Minas Tirith much wealthier. After helping the Soldiers of Gondor drive the forces of Mordor from Ithilien, Amanntai was recognized for his valor and given command of 100 men. He planned to venture south to secure Harondor for the Kingdom of Gondor once and for all, but he now hears word of trouble from Mirkwood...
