Wearing only a nightshirt on every occasion except for an unavoidable state visit, his wispy white hair and rheumy eyes belie his status as a lord of the Dúnedain.

| abstract | - As Ernil of Dol Tinare, he is getting on in age at 164 years, even for a Dúnadan. In the last three years, he has lost muscle tone, his teeth, and has gained a pot belly. Wearing only a nightshirt on every occasion except for an unavoidable state visit, his wispy white hair and rheumy eyes belie his status as a lord of the Dúnedain. He does still have his wits, though. In his prime, Hallas was ruthless and avaricious, and almost always on the winning side. He has largely restored his house’s fortunes reached during the heydays of the Kingdom. In so doing, Hallas has strayed from the paths of righteousness many times, and so he has determined to do one good deed before he dies. The lands of Tinare historically consisted of most of the highlands east of the Old North Road. Metraith, the bustling town on the North Road virtually in the center of Cardolan, now serves as the capitol for the House. Tinare is not a fertile province and it's lords have prospered because of their ancient right to impose tolls on traffic on the North Road. The Princes have been unusually astute in investing this income in mercantile ventures, causing them to be the only men ever granted the hereditary right to be called Dwarf-friend.
