Istuieth Sadriel was an Elf of Doriath who spent the majority of her maturity as a scholar of the courts of Thingol and later Dior.
Due to the indefinite lifespan of Elves, she was able to dedicate herself to studying and becoming well learned in many pursuits, but her greatest fascination was the study of bodily harm and death. Living in Arda Marred and belonging to a race who could only die of great grief or violence, she was fascinated by death and how it could occur and possibly be prevented. She was greatly loyal to the line of Thingol and loathed the Fëanorians almost as much as she loathed the Dark Enemy and his servants.
Istuieth survived the Sack of Doriath and dedicated herself to surveying the corpses to ascertain who had died, and how. Famously, she studied the bodies of not only Dior Eluchil and Nimloth, but also Fëanor’s sons Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin and his wife- though she was unaware of their identity at the time. Istuieth followed her kin to the Mouths of Sirion, and died there in the Sack.
