Elven caches will be in the trees, hidden from the eyes of those that may search for them.

Elves live for the woods. Elves are a race of beings similar in appearance to humans but fairer and wiser, with greater spiritual powers, keener senses, and a closer empathy with nature. They are great smiths and fierce warriors on the side of good. Because their lives are nearly immortal they spend decades in their professions. Armour, weapons, jewelry, homes might take decades to learn and contruct, yet it is only a tiny portion of their lives. All of these, therefore, and beautiful and functional. They mistrust those who because of their short lives, do not have the forsight to look ahead a millenia.

Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond and Celebrían (Daughter of Galadriel). Arwen eventually became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor when she married Aragorn, who was of the line of the Kings of Arnor. After 122 years of royal marriage, Arwen died of a broken heart a year after the death of Aragorn.

After the War of the Ring ended, Arwen and Aragorn produced the future heir of the throne, Eldarion.

During Aragorn's twentieth year he met Arwen for the first time in Rivendell, where he lived under Elrond's protection. Arwen, then over 2700 years old, had recently returned to her father's home after living for a while with her grandmother Galadriel in Lórien. Aragorn fell in love with Arwen at first sight. About thirty years later, the two were reunited in Lórien; at that time, Arwen reciprocated Aragorn's love; then they "plighted their troth" (promised themselves to each other) on the mound of Cerin Amroth.

Arwen entered the story again when, before taking the Paths of the Dead, Aragorn was met by a group consisting of Dúnedain (his people, from the North), and Arwen's brothers, Elladan and Elrohir. They brought to him a banner of black cloth: a gift made by Arwen, and a sign that encouraged him to take the difficult path. When the banner was unfurled at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields to reveal the emblem of Elendil in mithril, gems, and gold, it was the first triumphant announcement of the King's return.

Finally, Arwen arrived at Minas Tirith after Aragorn had become king of Gondor and Arnor, and they were married.

Arwen gave up her life in 121 of the Fourth Age, at Cerin Amroth in Lórien, one year after the death of Aragorn. At the time, she was 2,901 years old. Arwen told Aragorn, on his deathbed, that the last ship that could have borne her over the sea had already sailed. After Aragorn died, she went to Lórien and made her final resting place on Cerin Amroth, passing with the fading Elf realm.
