Pre War of the Ring
Hieraláf was a man of the Rohirrim, a distant cousin of king Fengel of Rohan and had taken a band of warriors to Minhiriath in the year 1913. There had been a major flood in that region that devistated the lands and the city of Tharbad. He was send by the king of Rohan to protect the city after its residents moved away leaving the possibility for orcs to take up refuge there. He was tasked to not let one orc in the city since the north-south road leads through the area and Rohan and Gondor thought it important to make sure the north was kept accesible. They made the city of Mossward just on its doorstep and lived there together with the residence of Tharbad while making sure the city and town were protected.
In 1925 a large Orc patrol suprised the defenders and drove them out of the city into the Swanfleet. With most of their troops defeated and wounded they did not dare crossing the hostile lands of Dunland and instead made their way north to a city called Tornhad. Here the Dúnedain dwelled, but could not be convinced to drive out the orcs. He did however meet a lady here, who was of Dúnedain descent. She was called Beäduin, and they fell in love. His man and the surviving people of Tharbad travelled south again and reconquered an abandont Mossward and made sure to protect the town from the now in orc controlled city of Tharbad. Because Beäduin was unwilling to move out of Tornhad, Hieraláf returned here after he knew his man were save.
On the 31st of January of 1932 their first son was born, named Golodir, and soon after a second son was on his way, called Manadir, born on the 4th of October of 1933. Only a month after his birth, the distant cousin of Beäduin and leader of the Dúnedain was killed by Orcs, and his son was send away to live with Elrond of Rivendell until he became of age. Hieraláf took over the leadership in Tornhad till the return of the boy, but was killed only a couple of months later after pursueing an orc patrol at the crossing of the Bruinen. Beäduin named her second son Hierok after this and raised her two sons on her own till they became 18 years of age. Golodir was send to the city of Dolindîr and a year later Hierok was on his way to Annúminas in the year of 2952. He did serves here for many years even becoming one of the Captains at Annúminas. Two years after this Beäduin passed away because of an illness.
In 2975 a young girl called Alamon, who just became of age, was send here from Tornhad aswell. Golodir was now second in command of the Dúnedain and wished to gain more allies against Angmar. Hierok and Alamon rode north at Golodirs request to gain the trust of the men in the north. They entered the frozen land of Forochel and made their way to Sûri-kylä. In those first 2 weeks Hierok made sure the city was well protected and Alamon helped in the huts of healing and hunted for food. They came in favour of the Lossoth and after those 2 weeks the enemy indeed came. They were told off by the Lossoth and in return an army came to destroy the village. Helping with the defence Hierok and Alamon defeated the evil man who in return took refuge at the Ironspan to the east. Hierok and Alamon stayed with Lossoth for 5 years and fell in love. In 2980 Théoden becomes king of Rohan and Hierok and Alamon return south while Lothrandir takes over the post at Forochel. They meet with Golodir, who gives the leadership to a ranger named Halbarad. They return first to Mossward and rally the Rohirric man who wish to return. The town of Mossward had become a stable city with good defences and the residence could care for them selves now.
At the coronation of Théoden they meet again with Aragorn after he returned from his adventures in the south. Together with Aragorn they return north through Lothlórien and the Vales of Anduin. Here they part ways, where Aragorn goes through the Misty Mountains and Hierok and Alamon stay at the city of Vegbár while protecting the passage over the mountains. Alamon befriends a young Beorning called Aranvi and they stayed on this posts for multiple years. Hierok and Alamon married in 2989 and got 4 kids in the following years. On the 18th of November of 2991 Hierunuir was born. On the 9th of July of 2999 both Ronaduin and Mydaxil were born and lastly on the 31st of August Haelondir was born. The girls learned a lot from the Beornings and their father and mother in the ways of fighting and hunting. Hierok and Hierunuir were send by Gandalf and Aragorn to look for Gollum in the year 3009. It were however Ronaduin and Mydaxil who first saw the creature. Ronaduin tracked its tracks and Mydaxil wrestled him to the ground, but in the process became injured. Before Gollum could finish the job Hierunuir came in with Gandalf, Aragorn and Hierok and protected her sisters. Gollum fled into Moria with a last shot of Ronaduin as warning to not return. Aragorn praised the girls, and called Hierunuir an excellent guardian, Ronaduin a great tracker and hunter and Mydaxil a brilliant brawler. Back home Aragorn and Hierok continued the search while Aranvi and Alamon took care of the girls and protected the city.
War of the Ring
8 years later, in the year 3017, Gollum was finally captured and taken to Felegoth to be a prisoner there. Hierok returned home together with Aragorn and bid the girls to pack their things and go with him and Aragorn to Rivendell. Alamon and Aranvi stayed behind in Vegbár with Haelondir who had not yet become of age but promised to follow soon after. Hierok rode with Aragorn to Bree while Hierunuir went to Ost Guruth, Mydaxil to Esteldín and Ronaduin stationed at Sarn Ford with the ranger Halbarad. In the year 3018 the Nazgûl enter Eriador in search of the ring. Hierunuir encounters them on Weathertop and starts the hunt for them. On the 25th of September a Nazgûl enters the town of Archet and the ranger Amdir is stabbed by a morgul blade before Hierok and Aragorn enter the battle. They kill Amdir and Éogan at the southern Chetwood 3 days later while the Nazgûl flee. The ring-wraiths move south and fight Halbarad and Ronaduin at Sarn Ford before making their way into the Shire. Hierunuir pursues them while Haelondir and Alamon, who have left the Vales to help them, together with the ranger Meneldir make sure the survivors are taken care of and rally the remaining rangers to Tyrn Gorthad to look for the grey fear. Here Meneldir dies, the grey fear is defeated and they follow Boromir to Rivendell. In this time Mydaxil is tasked to go to the Shire and meets here with Gandalf, who asks her to go to the Dwarves of the Ered Luin to follow the gaunt-lord Ivar the Blood-hand and witnisses the return of Skorgrím Dourhand and goes after him.
In the meantime Hierunuir has moved into the Shire and meets her dad at Buckland with the ranger Lenglinn on the 1st of October and realsing the Nazgûl have circled back to Bree they start the pursued. However, Mydaxil in her pursued of Skorgrím enters a barrow and is saved by Tom Bombadil. On the 3rd of October Gandalf is attacked on Weathertop and Aragorn with the 4 hobbits are still in the Midgewater Marshes while Hierok and Hierunuir make their way to Bree. Mydaxil meets Ronaduin and Alamon in Bree and goes south with Ronaduin again. Hierok and Hierunuir are confronted Haelondir and Halbarad later that day who tells the story of the situation south, Ronaduin and Mydaxil having set out to Trestlebridge and Alamon with her destination of Rivendell as a true minstrel. Halbarad and Hierok decide that Haelondir and Hierok pursue the Nazgûl while Halbarad and Hierunuir go north to fortify Esteldín.
Halbarad and Hierunuir meet with Ronaduin and Mydaxil in Trestlebridge and keep heading for Esteldín, while Ronaduin and Mydaxil follow Hierok and Haelondir. The ring-bearer is stabbed on Weathertop on the 6th of October and Aragorn and the hobbits hurry to Rivendell. Hierok and Haelondir move through the Lone-lands and meet the ranger Candaith. They investigate Weathertop while the hobbits are making their way east. Ronaduin and Mydaxil have missed their destination and help Radagast with Ivar giving Mydaxil her revenge. Hierok and Haelondir meet their family back at Ost Guruth on the 10th of October and Mydaxil and Ronaduin head for Rivendell while Hierok and Haelondir go to Esteldín again on Radagasts request. On the 12th of October they reach Esteldín and ask Hierunuir to go east to Rivendell. On the 14th of October Hierunuir meets Gandalf in the Ettenmoors and together they arrive in Rivendell on the 18th. Alamon reunites with her mother again and a day later Mydaxil and Ronaduin get to Rivendell too. On the 20th of October Gandalf and Elrond defeat the Nazgûl and Frodo and company get to his destination just in time.
On the 25th of October Ronaduin helps Legolas with locating the missing Nazgûl, while Alamon and Mydaxil come across Boromir when he enters from the south.

In the meantime Hierok and Haelondir have reached Angmar and met Corunir. He learns of the watching stones of Angmar and how to battle their influence. Hierok sends word to Rivendell for reinforcements while he and Haelondir head north to Carn Dûm. They meet their niece Lorniel there who tells them Golodir has been captured by the crown. On the 21st of October Haelondir makes way to the Ered Luin to forge a key to enter Carn Dûm. Hierok remains in Gath Forthnír and is reunited with his family on the 5th of November. On the 6th of November Haelondir returns and finally together they enter Carn Dûm together with Lorniel. They rescue Golodir, but his daughter is slain by Mordirith.
