Lothelian

On reaching the top of the talan, Lothelian marvels at the scenery and the overhanging branches with leaves of gold. It is quite like being a bird in a nest, she decides, with the comfort and security that entails, not to mention the amazing view.

"........I still cannot quite believe ... how does one climb that ladder? It looks awfully high." A question Lothelian managed to answer, with the help of her mentor Annúngil.

Looking ahead, the road veers upwards and the first hints of snow appear. Lothelian stands upon the edge of the Redhorn Pass, wondering how it will be like to cross the Misty Mountains for the first time.

The lands become rockier, and the stones a reddish-brown hue as the company approaches the mountains. Still, the grass is covered with exquisite flowers, as the chills of the Hithaeglir have not yet taken hold. Lothelian cannot help wondering if there are new and interesting ores and rocks to be found within the passes ahead.

Lothelian heads south and east through the lands of Eregion with her companions, heading for the Redhorn Pass.
