No, I'd think that they would politely shove Lilly. The FemSticks they'd use on the other students!

And, sure, the Elven-ship was inaccurate. Actually, I believe, the models were made before the Chancellor arrived to Tharbad. The museum may have been started late in the Second Age, while most of the models were made after the Downfall, following the old pictures and schemes. So the artists who made the models never saw the actual ships, except, perhaps, the latest ones. |

All right Gordis, I've established that it happened and written an outline of the encounter between the ML and Mahtaliel. Go ahead and write the full scene when your character gets to mid-afternoon.

Aw... but it's much more interesting this way. How about if he just stands in the doorway? I think he might want to be bold here. Mahtaliel wouldn't take being sumoned to the office as seriously as she would him coming and invading what she considers to be her territory.

Wonderful! Besides, if even he were too afraid to enter it, how could Viv and Aiwendis stand to go in there for Jewelry making?

Besides, I believe it will be in Valandil's best interest NOT to catch Eärniel during Swan Speech practise. He'd be cured of his crush on her immediatly, and we do want Aiwendis to have to work for her catch, don't we? Quote:

Actually I don't believe either of the nazgulettes could brave the forge. It was Shah, not I, who set the first Jewelry-making class in the forge. I envisioned it in a class-room in the Arts building. But really, realistically speaking, would jewelry-making require the same type of forge as sword-smithing? I think, for the high-precision things a small forge is needed. It is impossible to make jewelry with the same tools and on the same anvil where weapons are forged. So why not leave the Forge - the separate small building- for weapons and such, while we install a small forge for jewels in the Arts building itself - in the corner of the class-room, just as in Shah's post. The flames will not be that frightening there. Also, in the main forge, I somehow don't imagine desks and benches to be, it would be too hot and uncomfortable. Hardly a place for lecturing - only for practical training. What do you think, LMM? |

You guys, I literally just got home from working all morning since five A.M., so I'm gonna relax for a while & post something later on this evening. I still have to read all the new stuff. Looking forward to it! It's GREAT to see Crazy Squirrel around, and Sun-Star & Earniel, too! |

Actually, I had always imagined that class as being in the forge, so Sane was right to set it there. I have got a fairly practical lay out for that building in mind which allows for the different types of work. I'll draw it out sometime.

I am not happy with that solution. I still don't believe that any nazgul could brave the forge for hours.
And the location of the Jewelry making class could have been a surprise for Viv, but hardly for the Chancellor and Aiwendis.The Morgul Lord would have never put her in this class, if it were in the forge. The same for Viv, he wouldn't have accepted her for the Jewelry course in this case. I guess it should have been discussed and agreed upon long ago, but it wasn't. So what do we do now? |

I think they could; The fires in the forge aren't going all the time. They are very safely banked when not in use, and the jewelry making class doesn't use the large fires. It's the fire that's the problem, not the building itself. I think as long as the large fires are banked and they only have to deal with the tiny fires used to melt the metal for casting the girls can bear it all right. They might not like it, but I think their characters are strong enough to manage that dislike.
There isn't much that can be done about it. The main Art-History building was declared too old and flammable to have the class in, you said something to that effect yourself, that's why we have the forge in a building of it's own. It's the only place where melted metal and whatnot can be safely handled. As for it being uncomfortable for lecturing... it isn't a lecture style class. It is a practical training class, that's how Mahtaliel teaches most of the time.

Perhaps we can have a compromise: only some practical lessons will be in the forge, while the others in ther Arts building? |
