You take a deep breath. 'I am a friend of Gandalf's,' you begin.

Treebeard nods his immense head. 'Are you now,' he muses. 'Well, there is no need for a long explanation- we have just met, you know... no need at all to be hasty. As it happens, I am in the middle of a great meeting of the Ents - Entmoot. It is a great discussion center.'

As you walk, you see the congregation of Ents. 'I wish to join the Entmoot,' you say.

'Indeed?' says Treebeard. 'I suppose you could see it. You might want to know about some of Entmoot's distinguished members. I can find one of the younger Ents to explain that to you.

'I think you will enjoy your time at Entmoot. It is a thriving community of 1500 active members and over 100,000 posts. We have 5 forums for J.R.R. Tolkien discussion, an RPG forum, and places to talk about other fantasy books, as well as movies. It's a lot of fun! After you have spent some time at the Entmoot, perhaps we will have made up our mind to do something, maybe even go to Isengard!
