Angaelen

=Current Projects=
Angaelen Nornoeda has been authorized by a minor council meeting in Northshire to requisition funds, personnel and materials to copy each surviving library's works so that the intellectual loss that occurred at the fall of Lordaeron, Nornoeda, and Gnomeregan might not come again. She is currently copying a master index of Sirithil Nightstone's holdings.
=Physical Description=
Shorter than some night elves, Angaelen generally holds good muscle tones, but has calloused hands and tough skin. Her shoulder length hair, with a portion tied back from the free-hanging into a topknot, marks her as somewhat easy to spot in a crowd.
=History Overview=
Angaelen never was quite the same after the Third War crashed into the northern valley of Ashenvale. In the corruption of what is now Felwood a small school that had once flourished under the ironwood trees on the way to Nighthaven and Hyjal was lost. As the fighting grew swiftly closer, students were ordered to grab whatever they could of the Nornoeda stores, flee, and raise the hue and cry. What happened to them is a matter of debate and speculation, but what is known is that one survivor did reach Astrannar.
In some ways, the sudden loss of her adopted family and her social network overnight was something she never fully recovered from. Each day is an ordeal in that she finds herself trying to measure up to an unreachable pinnacle.
For several years now, she took the codices she had managed to save and copied them onto her underskirts, her arming doublet, the inside of her shoes, any piece of cloth that might hold ink in. With a simple dye, she painstakingly wrote these fragments down in a silent vigil and wore them beneath her outer garments in quiet preservation. When the trade routes opened and she began to travel between the continents of Lordaeron, Kalimdor, and Azeroth she stumbled across a gathering around a campfire. In that ring of storytellers was a bit of comfort, and those that would lead to her affiliation with waiting for her Winter's End as a researcher and poet.
