Mórënáro



Mornaur was a fiery Noldo, quick to kindle with enthusiasm, equally swift to anger. His disposition was autocratic, and matters both great—tactics to incite the Mûmakani to war on their neighbors, the Kirani of Tuktan—and small—the failure of a page to refill an ink pot and sharpen a quill—excited his interest and judgement. The Lord of Staves was not a companion or friend easily borne, but he was a superb strategist. His grasp of fine detail together with his sensitivity to changes in the overall pattern of events meant that most campaigns under his supervision succeed. Mornaur wore the garb of his suit: robes of crimson silk partially coverd by a tabard of apricot and a stole of golden yellow. A badge on his left breast took the shape of an inverted triangle behind a flaming staff.
