| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected from a compost pile with the help of my four-year-old sister Rania. The compost, taken from 2-8 centimeters below the ground, was filled with pumpkin shell and seed fragments. It was collected on 2025-10-06 at 8am, and the temperature was 19 Celsius. Isolation commenced the same day at 1pm. After two rounds of purification, two phage were discovered in the same sample, differentiated by different plaque sizes. This is the larger of the two; the other is named Luthien. |
| Naming Notes | Beren Erchamion (Sindarin for "brave) was a son of the first house of Beor, hero of the First Age. |
