Background

---

Enjoyed laying down in the grass looking at the stars.

She always felt astonished at their allure. Even if her true devotion was and still is for Nature itself, in all its meanings.

Together with her horse, named Eadesa, she rides the valleys of the Eastfalda, searching for mushrooms, herbs and acorns. Eadesa was a present from her brother Wilfred, deft rider of Edoras, the only member of the family still alive, since both parents were dead.

During one of her escapes amongst the trees, she bumped into Cildran, a wise elf who taught her a lot of his ancient elven knowledge about trees and herbs.

Mildritha repaid him for his marvellous gift with eternal friendship.
