Camlan the Amber
About T.A. 1639 Camlan the Healer or Camlan the Amber was an old man who lived in the Dead Marshes, in a cave in a hollow pillar of red snadstone not far from Thuringwathost.A healer of true Dúnadan heritage, he had received his training among the Elves of Lothlórien, for they had perceived the truth of his desire to serve the good powers of Arda by helping both Elves and men. He had also lived in Mirkwood for a time, healing all who asked him, and there became acquainted with the Wizard Radagast, who found in him some of the same love for all forms of life — except mankind — that was so much a part of Radagast's nature. Camlan was ever welcome at Rhosgobel, and was one of the few men who knew of its location, but he had not visited Radagast in many years. Hearing of the increasing desolation and reports of evil activity in the Dead Marshes, he told his wizard friend that he thought that the Free Peoples could use an eye and ear in the area. Now Camlan lived the part of a crazy old hermit (with unusual healing power) who lives on the southeastern edge of the marsh. He asked few questions of those who came to him for healing, but he listened and watched and talked to the animals, whose speech Radagast had taught him.
