Namarie, Elves

Ceuro walked with us ter the gate. He wished us 'Namarie', and we wished him the same.

"I have told you all I can," he said. "Where the group of Men were last with our friends, and where we think they are heading. If your friends are with them, they are heading North. There is little choice of destination in that direction other than the white wilderness of Forochel, or the stricken sky of Angmar. It is my hope they are not taken that far. May Elbereth watch over you both, whatever you chose to do."

The Running River

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

The hamlet of Hamglen, nestled near Bree, wakes to a chilly morning as the first light of the sun pierces through the mist that blankets the small homesteads. The thatched roofs of the cottages glisten with a thin layer of frost, and the air carries a crisp bite that hints at the arrival of colder days. The chimneys release tendrils of smoke that rise lazily into the cool atmosphere, and the village folk, wrapped in warm woolen cloaks, move with purpose through the cobbled streets. The autumn leaves crunch underfoot, releasing a fragrant earthy aroma.

Overlooking Hobbiton

Estarfin looked out over the farmlands nigh the small village of Hobbiton. We would wait until the stars shone, then pass over the lands to Needlehole.

"If the Siege had never been broken, do you think we would have grown as safe and comfortable as these Halflings?' he asked.

Riding North - Part I: Paths old and new

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

The road to the Wold was supposed to be safe, it was said. At least as safe as a road could be in these dire times of looming war, of roaming orcs and wargs, wicked and corrupted men from the east, and other horrors. And there was a mission to uphold, one that could not have come at a worse time for us. 

I Tengwava Cedwyn

What kind of Adventure is this?: 
Story

The dark-haired Avari reclined on a small, red couch, inside Tham Send. He had a cool glass of wine in his left hand, his smallest finger sticking outwards whilst the rest of his fingers curl around the glass. In his right hand, resting on top of his fingers, is a book. The writing of it curls in the lettering of Quenya. He would take a sip from the glass of wine, placing it down on a small table in reach, using his free hand to turn the page of the book, then picking up the glass of wine again to take a sip, his eyes moving down the page as he reads the words.

The Hired Horses

Gaeded paid the stablehand for the horses and then everyone choose from the saddled horses that had been prepaired for them. The horses ranged from all shapes and sizes. Caithryth's was over large, a slow ploughing horse.

Familiar Downpours

It rained heavier as the company walked towards Bree to get the horses. Rain showers were often in Bree-land. It made those who are originally from there feel a little sad that they are leaving their home behind. It made those who were from distant lands feel eager to leave, so see new lands and also perhaps to go home once again.

As The Black Steel entered the Lone-Lands, Carmillia got impatient, asking 'Are we there yet?' several times like a child.
