The Last Homely House - that was what Imladris had been called many times. It had also gone by another name; Rivendell. It was the one place where Elyssa Blackvale could come to learn more of her lineage, to know of her father and what her bloodline consisted of. She knew that her father had been an elf, that much was a given. However she hadn't known of what he did, who he was or what his accomplishments were.

As far as she knew; her father was sitting in Esgaroth.

Her time in Rivendell had passed ever so slowly, finding herself in the library with her nose in a book for hours - at least until the light of the sun had disappeared and the dark sky had appeared in its place. Each and every day the half-elf's day had consisted of this; reading all day long until it was nighttime, then she'd forget to eat every now and then because she was so engrossed in a book.

Until the news of a company of thirteen dwarves and a halfling had appeared. Strange for such a group to appear in these parts but she supposed that there had been someone noteworthy that may have had a hand in their arrival: Gandalf the Grey. Saving at the current chapter in her book, the brunette carefully creased the corner of the page and then closed it up, setting the book aside before standing.

Hearing the sounds of laughter and song from the outside had piqued the woman's curiosity, pulling her out of the library and down the halls of her home bringing her to where all had been dining.

"Elyssa."

Crystal blues had taken in their guests, a look of wonder appearing upon her features before she turned her attention towards Elrond, Lord of Rivendell. Beside him had been the said wizard that brought about much chaos and mischief, offering a kind smile to the elder before her gaze turned to a tall, dark haired dwarf. This must have been the leader, she figured, her head tilting as she moved towards the three "Elyssa, I assume you know of Gandalf the Grey - infamous in his own right." Elrond spoke, offering a brief introduction although one had not been needed, "And this is Thorin Oakenshield; Son of Thrain."
