Growing up, he was always amazed at what the dwarven traders had brought with them from Khazad-dum. From the toys, he had played with in childhood, to the wares and literature he only came to appreciate when he got older, and even the unique food and culture they brought with them. This fascination, combined with Oleryd's insistent curiosity often led to him lurking around the dwarven merchants and traders asking as many questions as they would let him get away with. He asked about everything. How the more intricate toys worked, how they knew the quality of gemstones and metals, how to work with ingredients only dwarves brought. Everything. Oleryd would answer every question they asked of him in turn, it seemed only fair. Over years of this, he managed to either wear down their patience or build up enough trust that a few of the merchants and traders taught him a few snatches of Khuzdul. None of the written language, but they taught him a few phrases, such as greetings and partings, and "please" and "thank you". He had even managed to accompany a few groups of elven traders and merchants on their journies to the Dwarrowdelf. Oleryd was heartbroken when he learned of Khazad-dum's fall.<br/><br/>Oleryd threw himself into study, reading every book and text Lorien had to offer and asking every traveler for information about their homelands and cultures. When he had exhausted every document in Lorien, he set out for Rivendell and began to do the same there. Oleryd had a particular urge to study other cultures and people, filling notebooks with his findings. Despite his study of other cultures, Oleryd still found himself longing to know more about the culture he had been enamored with in his younger centuries. He wanted to understand more, to see more, remembering with fondness the days when their cultures were entwined and flourishing. He wanted to see Erebor, and all other great kingdoms first hand.<br/><br/><strong>Played by </strong>Layne Spooks
