Training

And the training continues...

We may be newly wed, but that is no excuse to become lax. We have never trained together regularly, partly because of our less than ideal experience in Imladris, over a dozen years ago. But now we both have something most precious in our lives, something to protect at all costs. 

Estarfin has continued to train throughout the past few years, when he has not been fighting in ernest. Ceuro is his most closely matched opponent, although Filignil is prepared to spar with a sword or spear at times.

I always say I do not like weapons. I do not like the feel of steel in particular. 

That dislike can make some aspects of life challenging. 

Life is mostly safe in our Western towns, and the few cities, but any travel can give rise to attacks from goblins, orcs, or any other aggressor. So we train , to defend ourselves and others.

Waelden is once again back in the saddle after a long time of recovering from the infernal ankle fracture that left him bedridden for many weeks and unable to walk for months. Still there will be alot of training and exercise before he is back to his old self, but at least Ealfin is very happy to carry his old rider again!

Training Day

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

Eduwiges of Faldham listened to the grunts and clanging of men at battle. The shield-maiden smelled sweat, leather, grimy carpet and shame as it wafted across the giant room being used as a training hall in Minas Tirith. Eduwiges was amazed. In her eyes, a place to train was outside a fort on the plains of the Norcroft or under the trees of Imladris and flets of the Golden Wood; not in this huge palace hall with giant chandeliers and dangling tapestries.
