Bio: Arvedui's life has changed suddenly upward since his father, Anardil, 6th Lord of Brethil, died suddenly in a terrible accidental fall, then his eldest brother Arrasuil, 7th Lord of Brethil naught but a week after, and who could forget his next brother, pious Anardil, 8th Lord of Brethil's mysterious hunting expedition disappearance? Suffice it to say, Arvedui was distraught by all this terrible murder misfortune and took to prayer, yet he finally found Ilúvatar's guidance and went to take his rightful lordship. He immediately began reforming the fief of Minas Brethil and the surrounding villages, using his voice to sweeten the peasantry's ears and collect copious taxes. The guard was reformed in to a private army (who could blame him, security for future murderous fiends no doubt), and he finally conveniently found the culprits for the deaths all along, who were conveniently also most of the vassals who rejected his reforms.

Despite his harsh life, baseless rumors persist on gasp how he might have murdered his hated Beloved brothers and Father (may they rest with Eru). Even worse, they say he desires a quick way to more fiefs, or even stewardship! Such gossip is crime against Ilúvatar and whoever says this has NO evidence for these claims. None whatsoever...
