Mae govannen reader of this application,

My name is RamDieMan on minecraft and my Lore Character will be/is known as Garnúk.

Garnúk is one of the Drughu (Drúedain) and his backstory is a rather sad but also happy one.

The tale of Garnúk begins with his first few years on the isle of Númenor, yes Númenor. Garnúk was born on Númenor from the Drughu woman Frighae, and the Drughu man Knúfmë. Frighae was just a housewife, and as most Drúadan women she was trained and knew her way around with the blade, his father on the other hand, was a highly respected Drughu wise-man, he was well informed off the languages spoken of Númenor, for he could speak Drúadan, Adûnaic, Westron, and basic Sindarin, even the king of that time spoke to him several times.

Besides that Knúfmë could also write, in Adûnaic, Westron and the Westron-written Sindarin (and read them ofcourse) and he took it upon him to set down the Drúedain grammar and words on paper, on wich he succedeed for a big part.

Now, Garnúk was a quick learner and shared his fathers interest in languages and he too could write and speak some of teh languages, He could speak Drúadan and Westron fluently, and write Westron, (as the Drúedain didn't really write yet) but he spoke pretty average Adûnaic, but SIndarin he knew a few basic sentences and words. He could also write them btw.

He also shared a great interest in plants and animals, and he hung around with some of the Elves of Númenor freaquently (wich improved his Sindarin a little bit), but when he became 13 his parents and some other Drúedain didn't feel safe anymore and they were afraid they would soon have no forests left on Númenor, so they decided to take a boat to Endor to live with the other Drúedain there. They were taken by a Númenórean traveller who goes by the name of Ilmund, he was a kind and loving man, a friend of the Sindar too,a nd he and Garnúk had some conversations together. They hit land at Lond Daer and from there they started walking to the Drúedain woods, the group splitted a few times, eventually leaving young Garnúk, his parents and another family to walk to the woods they now live.

Garnúks father continued to write Drúadan down on paper and tried to convince the others to do aswell, but they didn't, eventually he died, leaving his works unfinished, Garnúk didn't know where, but he would one day find it. Garnúk came to be a highly respected Drúedain shaman and wise-man, for he knew a lot of the nature surrounding them and he could speak a few other languages s he would be useful anyways. They and the Drúedain Leader Bughân became good friends, and to this day Garnúk is still searching for his fathers lost manuscripts, while he's writing down some for himself aswell.

and there's a chance, that they are somewhere, hidden away, in a lost temple....
