Of Snow and Disdain

Tauriel was born of her mothers final breath and has been attempting to earn her father, Willem Brazier's, affection ever since. Her brother, Skender, had been the one to raise her and teach her everything she knows about hunting and gathering. Once Skender was drafted into the military, Tauriel was left with her father in their tiny cabin. Willem works the mines all day whilst Tauriel hunts in the woods. Her lonely existence leaves her to grieve her brother's abscence, but rumors fly about the troops moving north. When a battalion makes camp just outside the bereft mining town, Tauriel attempts to find her brother, but instead comes face to face with the most feared general in the realm.
