Eorlingas

The light of a nearby candle illuminated the small cave. The walls were smooth and blackened from the large fires that once burned in here before its current occupant made his stay in Helstor. A couple of tomes laid scattered on a table in the middle of the room. Two figures were standing around the table. One pleased, the other not pleased. "Are you even aware of what you brought before me?" Asked the older man while looking up at the tall Eorling. "You tasked us with recovering dusty old books and look before you!

I do not know why I delayed so much to return to Grimslade. It has been years since I returned to the lands of my people and yet I decided to remain in the Limlight Gorge as a volunteer. Perhaps I sought redemption or maybe I wanted to make a name for myself as a hero of my people, for too many a year I fought in foreign lands. But I had to return. If not to prove myself deserving and grown, then to fulfill the promise I made my faithful steed that I would bring him back to his homeland.

There they stood, the three of them. Meadwine, Meadowyn and Ægáldred were lined up before their father in the main hall of his house.

Their time in Harwick came to an end and soon the two Riders left and made for the their next destination: Eaworth. Though their journey did not go so easily. For when they crossed the Norcrofts yet again via different routes they found that there were many farms abandoned by the folk and left to defilement by evil orcs. There was little that they could, yet to their fortune there were no orcs to be seen abroad on the plains.

It was dusk and Meadowyn could not find her red cloak that she enjoyed to gaze upon. Though it were an insignificant decoration she thought it to be something special, as it was a bit of her home and she grew to treasure such things more as the days passed. She grew frustrated and sought throughout the house to no avail, she doubted that she could have lost it, for she seldom wore it. Then a thought came to her mind.
