Library: The Lost

As the Ainur made their great parting and began the struggle for Arda a sole member of their kind quietly slipped into the shadows of time. This lone Ainur knew there would be a time when one side or the other succeeded in this struggle. In hopes that Melkor would fail and peace would be established he still felt he must take himself apart and prepare for the worst possible outcome. For years this lone Ainur hid and watched as time played the drama out before him. As the ages past he took great strides to note and evaluate every detail of each sides attempts and failures. Secretly searching for a way to end this struggle he pursued numoruos ways to gain additional power and skill in preparation for the need he felt he must fill if or when the time came. Long and long he watched. Secretly he recovered pieces of the Two Trees. The coming of the new races of Middle Earth began to pose an unforscene problem for this lone watcher. The life spans of these races caused great troubles for him. For he had hoped to secretly pursuade members of these races to join his cause. Even the longer life spans of the Elves and Dwarves have proven duanting to his need. Over time he settled for establishing a secret order of mystic followers who have dedicated their lives to helping with this task. As the ages pass their knowledge is transfered into gems crafted to contain memories of all who have been intrusted with them. These gems will pass down through the ages carrying the knowledge of the order and be past to those most likely to succeed should the need ever arise. They will watch and learn as the ages pass. Someday they will reach the end or their long arduous journey. All hoping never to have to reveal themselves as a last resort to stopping Melkor's futile cause.
