A healer serving the Guild of Elements in southern Middle-earth, Rana (Av."Wanderer" "Moon"; PQ."Ranâ";S."Raun") was confronted with the wounded and dying year after year, through all the long centuries during which the Free Peoples fought the Court of Ardor. His demeanor was invariably light-hearted, however—to the point where some wondered if he was indeed sane. He appeared naive (or perhaps dull-witted). Healing seemed to come naturally to him, reinforcing the idea that those of simple mind are closest to the Valar. Of Sinda descent, Rana was unusually tall (6'8") with dark curly hair and eyes.
