Lastore

Notes by a Malledhrim warden:

"Members of the company: one Adaneth (mortal woman), four elves, one horse.

Leaving: Echad Sirion.

An Ork camp upon the gate of Gostannon blocks the main way. The line of supplies to Ost Galadh has been cut off. A group of elves gets ready to help, and the Malledhrim are glad about it.

However, a new path has to be found...

The company gets ready to cross the Anduin.

For the first time they saw the Dark Fortress from afar.

Reaching Thangulhad, they would try to get information, and maybe help.

Perhaps the Malledhrim had seen the pack of Orks.

A raven, black as night, passes Eliriael as the healer ascends a slope together with Lastore and Raolor.

Searching the ground, Celeblhair stops, shouldering her war-bow.

The elves who arrived at Ost Galadh at the request of the Malledhrim decide they must scout northwards first for any signs of the orc party they seek.

What is fueling the actions of the Orks, the defilers of Middle-Earth, the Melkorohíni?

How can the Firstborn oppose so much hatred and lust for destruction?

A soldier and a messenger being fond of crackling campfires.

Stories are told, and ideas are being exchanged, and together with the rest of the company, the two elves will soon set out for a dangerous mission.

Facing the author of the important letter, the company discusses further actions and plans with Agorin of the Malledhrim.

Even when it comes to their own kindred, the Malledhrim seem to be wary, holding back information.
