A member of the Pengwador (Betht."Brotherhood of the Bow") and a messenger for the Silvan King in northern Mirkwood, Líndal was the fleetest of the archers assigned to the Nivrim or West March of Thranduil's realm. He frequently travelled between the Aradhrynd ("Halls of the Elven-king") and Lórien, carrying messages between Galadriel and Thranduil. Only during his latest journey had he ever been caught by the Orcs. Líndal wore the typical garb of his folk: a light green hooded tunic highlighted by a border of abstract leaves, soft brown hose and suede boots, and leather belt securing a wallet of lembas and a flask of Elven wine. His bow, stolen by his Orcish foes, was one of the few great bows of Doriath remaining among his kin.
