Meadow Leaf - Narlindwen, the Maiden of Tales.

This is Ryheric's theme for Cwenawynn, a young refugee from Rohan. From the start, he had been unusually protective of the young maiden. That instinct has only grown.

The trials of the shards were finally over. She had not had to face the Betrayal Shard after all. Ryheric had decided that Silver would face it in her place. She had not been happy about the idea but she had understood his reasoning. The way he had looked at her spoke volumes, he had tried to kill her and he struggled with what that could mean about who he was. He could have killed Aerluinil.

When he woke from the fever there was strange looking healing equipment hanging off him. Winnie looked exhausted, Tarsorel had recovered somewhere nearby, Lavendara was crying, Silver looked weak, but they all seemed glad. Terrified and glad.

Day two had passed quietly. However upon seeing a sketch in Winnie's book, Ryheric had sent Harold to Bree to request Silver's presence. When Harold returned, he brought with him a letter addressed to Ryheric from a dwarven leader of a small guild running out of the Harp and Hammer. "We have shared goals, come and meet with our company" the letter said. Ryheric had Winnie write his response. It said that indeed, if goals were shared, the dwarf's company would instead come to the Lonelands to help Ryheric's company fight orcs.

Day One. Daytime:
After arriving in the Lonelands, the group is debriefed outside the Forsaken inn. They see Weathertop (where there will be orcs attempting to make a foothold) from a distance. Airodir scouts for numbers, and Ryheric takes part of the group ready and present to get a better idea of what they are up against. They start out in the afternoon, leading into dusk of DAY ONE, deliberately choosing a time when night will fall to ensure they are getting the proper scope of orc/goblin activity.

Day One. Evening/night:
