The Elven Fairy Queen met the Highland Hermit one evening when she was being serenaded by the High Elf of the Dark Forest.  This quiet, shy elf was so caught up listening to the music of the High Elf that he ventured further into the clearing in the forest than he had intended.  The Elven Fairy Queen greeted him and they admired the music of the High Elf together.

Each time the High Elf played music for the Queen, the Highland Hermit would come to listen – sometimes hiding in the trees around the clearing but more often over time, coming out and sitting to listen with the Queen.

When the hermit spoke, he would tell of his life in the lands to the north – of the peace his solitude in the hills and mountains and forests brought him.  His love of nature and of the simplicity of life away from the hustle and bustle of the more populated areas were qualities the Queen easily related to.

The Queen enjoyed hearing of the hermit’s life foraging in the forest, and his walks over the mountains with his pet goat, Nigel, caring for the land around him.

The Elven Fairy Queen created a recipe for the Highland Hermit that he could make up for himself from ingredients he could forage around his small cabin in the forest blended with the gift of the more exotic ingredient of tea that she gave him.
