The only student of Maglor on record on this side of the Sea by Himring  

Second Age, Eregion

She had no courage left, but the skills taught her long-ago in Himring continued to serve her. When in desperation she used her dagger, the orc who had tracked her went down and stayed down. By the time she somehow stumbled into Elrond’s campsite, she was exhausted beyond speech and it was with horror that she realized he had no better source of information about Ost-in Edhil than herself—all the constraint of knowing herself a bit player on a stage too large for her.

Through it all, she never let go of the pack containing the manuscript, Maglor’s quartet.
