LOL, and Ashkaio can write a letter that nobody else can read. It's a good thing Elspeth's thought of a plan!

Lur and Lantie won't really be able to write. I haven't researched it much, but I get the feeling their family is mostly oral - especially since they don't really die of old age... I'm quite enjoying the Aerin-Nightshade story too...

I repeat my question from the LLL discussion thread - what color is Aerin's hair?

Oh, I didn't see that question. Hum... like, a dark brown color. I kind of pictured her with a similar coloring to Liv Tyler.

I hope you don't mind, Varna, but I'd like to skip ahead a little with Rivailen and Baru and have them ride to the inn and get settled there in my next post, basically because we've got a few timing issues I need to sort out. (They should really have arrived before Anahera, who is on foot...)
Would that be okay?

I did some exploring through old LLL discussion threads - Feawen suggested once that after we find the Entwives, we go searching for other things like Palantiri, Blue Wizards, Dwarven Rings, etc...
Wonder how old we'd be (IRL) by the time our company found EVERYTHING there is hidden in Middle Earth...

Well, if we average four years per quest...
This RP is different in that we start by finding something and then have to figure out what to do about it! Edit: Feawen, where's your new signature from?

The Lord of the Rings HISHE... One minute...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqVD0swvWU Everyone on this board should watch it once. I referenced it when I said I was glad we didn't have to get rid of the Guardian ourselves...

That's awesome. Loved the inclusion of Gollum! Thanks for sharing, Midge!

The falling through of Ashkaio and his whole exchange with Elspeth must have happened considerably later than the falling through of Anahera, then. And we have no indication of when Nightshade fell through - it can be earlier or later as we wish.

Was that to make sure she looked like the description of Queen Susan?
One of the things that bothers me about LOTR (and even more now, since I'm planning on incorporating Perelandra into this) is the lack of an English equivalent to the word hnau. Hnau is a word that Lewis made up to mean "any creature with a soul" or "a sentient creature" (I'm not sure those are interchangeable, but if not, I'm sure he meant the former), because in one of his books, he had three sentient species all on one planet. And there are LOTS of hnau in Middle Earth: Elves, Dwarves, Men, Hobbits, Ents... Maiar, Ainur... I don't know if you could count things like Dragons, Orcs, Wargs, Trolls, because they're evil, and just copies of original creations, but they definitely have an independence about them. Selfish, yes, but they are not robots... Anyway I feel awkward saying things like "the languages of men" (which is a lovely short and succinct way of expressing it), because that seems like it leaves out the other species in Middle Earth since one of the races is called Men specifically... Anyway, I can't wait for Lur and Lantie to get there. They know the word "hnau" even though it isn't applicable on their planet because their family is the only sentient species. It will be interesting to them to be able to see other hnau, instead of only hearing of them from Maleldil.

And after all, Elves and Men probably look similar from afar... right?

I wonder how long it will take for Nightshade to realize the difference between Elves and Men Unless I should have her remember some more non-canon Narnian history ... hmmm ... I mustn't have her know everything and make her into a Mary Sue, though ...

Well, she could remember that the White Witch looked human, though she had not a drop of human blood in her. I think that would be a canon reference for her.

Good point. That would be part of the lore about the Golden Age.
And Nightshade is something of a loremaster - she makes sure that the next generations (of badgers, at least) get to hear the old tales.
