We'll wait for you Rian, and Varna and I can probably come up with something in the meantime.
Good luck and feel better soon! ![]()

wow - it HAS been a long time!
I'm still not very well, but am slowly - VERY slowly - getting better, and my doctor says the important thing is the trend, not the speed. I'm very weak, and still in pain, and have difficulty moving the shoulder, but it IS improving slowly. I haven't given up on our "journey" yet, but I'm still not very well ![]()

If RÃ*an has time and dexterity to finish her dream-sequence post, I think we'd only need one post to bring the Bombadil visit to a close. Our characters won't have to worry about the Barrow Downs, since I reckon they don't exist yet.

I put in a placeholder in case if I ever get a dream post going - so go ahead and post now, Eärniel - they've been off the road too long!

Okidoki. Posting.
I'll have them on the road again in the next post. Still have to write it.

Good post - giving us a glimpse of how old Tom really is! And still keeping his enigma intact ...

And so we have our Elves on route to Rivendell. Perhaps it migth be useful if they bump into someone. After all, with Rivendell being a hidden place and none of our Elves ever having been there, they're bound to get lost.

Would there be room here for a human character? Perhaps a Numenorean Exile....

Thank you, Rian!
What will you need from me regarding character info, etc? I have tons of it. Just let me know.

Hey Voronwen, lovely for you to join us.
![]() I suppose we only need a brief explanation of who your character is, short history and maybe a bit on personality. That sort of thing. We've placed the game in 1720 Second Age as we wanted something relatively peaceful from travelling and so we could participate in the establishing of the Last Homely House. So it's a little early for Exiles as Númenor is still standing, and under the rule of Tar-Minastur according to my books. So you may have to work on a reason for your character to be in Middle-earth. Anyway, it may be useful if you read the game-thread. RÃ*an's and my characters are travelling from Mithlond to Rivendell, and Varna and Willow's characters are already in Rivendell.

Just a wild suggestion for you, Voronwen - a Numenorean scholar, interested in Elven lore, having decided that the best place to study it would be right with the Elves themselves?

Wow, almost a year since my last post! Hoom, we're entishly slow, aren't we?
![]() So, Varna, any chance of one of your characters being out and about near Rivendell to come across either a lone Halweg, or four lost others camping practically on Rivendell's doorstep?

I think I should send Rameldir and Ainon on an afternoon walk ...
![]() Oh, it would be so good to get this going again. Any chance Willow might turn up? I miss my beta reader already ... And I'm going to leave Glorfindel alone for the time being.

Excellent! Yeay!
![]() Yeah, I miss Willow too, but she hasn't logged in for over a year. Probably busy with university.

Very nice post, E! You are so good at the geographic details, like JRRT was. It really fills in the picture in my mind.
I've always loved sibling relationships, too. Great post ![]() One English suggestion - you wrote : "And so, several days after the river-crossing, they found themselves utterly and utterly lost in the hills." It's usually "utterly and completely". At least that's what I've always heard. Anyway, just FYI, since you like to know ![]() I'm having the faint stirrings of a post ... maybe in another year actually! ![]()
