Torannen

Torannen is the Chieftain of the Highland Fells. His lineage is one of the most storied in Dunland, for he claims to descend in direct line from one of the greatest heroines of Dunland: Tora, she who taught her folk the language of the ferocious Wargs of the mountains and saved them from countless Orc raids. Torannen has inherited the gifts of his fabled ancestor, and thanks to that and his cunning he has travelled widely in his youth, which is rare in a Dunlending. He saw much of Rhovanion and its varied peoples, some of which he even came to admire.

Torannen’s clan moves along the highland fells, though they generally avoid coming close to the Gap of Rohan for he always advises against it, as Torannen is one of the few Dunlendish leaders to doubt Saruman’s intentions. He has spent much of his life roaming over the Misty Mountains and knows much that is hidden. Unlike his generally insular people, Torannen enjoys conversing with outsiders, especially if they bring news he hasn’t heard.
