Description
Daervunn is a Ranger who for years has stood guard against evil creatures threatening the common folks. As Halbarad's right-hand man, Daervunn will be found at different locations as the Grey Company travels across Middle-earth.
Daervunn (North Downs)
Daervunn is first seen in Esteldín's Central Courtyard, in the North Downs, where he remains quite deep into this tale. He is found just outside of Halbarad's Study, indicating that he is trusted by Halbarad and probably he may have met Aragorn at some point.
Recently Orcs of Angmar have poured into the North Downs, and Daervunn searches for the true source of their presence and design.
