The White Horse Inn, Act III

[Bêthberry]

The curtain rises on The White Horse Inn, Act III, Rohan's premier Inn and purveyor of fine gaming and characters.

The plot so far:

It is the 4th Age, Year One. This is the year 1423 by Shire Reckoning and four years after the events of the War of the Ring, fourteen years after the events of the previous White Horse Inn.

For the world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. Treebeard.

Aragorn, ruling as Elessar, and Arwen are King and Queen of the combined kingdom of Arnor and Gondor.

Éomer Éadig sits on the throne of Rohan as King of the Mark, in the Golden Hall here in Edoras, with his wife, Queen Lothíriel, daughter of Imrahil, who he wedded last year.

Faramir, Prince of Ithilien, and his wife Eowyn reside in Ithilien, laying the foundations to return it to the garden.

Treebeard and Quickbeam and the other Ents are reforesting Fangorn and the lands that lie eastward are now open to them.

Gimli is become Lord of the Glittering Caves, having brought south a group of Dwarf-folk from Erebor and Legolas has brought south a group of elves out of Greenwood, now called Eyrn Lasgalen in its reclamation. Soon these two will move to dwell in Ithilien.

Erebor and Dale are recovering from the devastations of The Battle of the Dale and The Seige of Erebor, where fell both their kings. Thorin III Stonehelm now rules the Dwarven folk as the King under the Mountain in Erebor while Bard II is King of Dale.

Rivendell is become a ghost town; Lothlorien, a silent forest.

Will Whitfoot is Mayor of The Shire, where years of bounty have returned and the sole Mallorn tree in the western lands blooms.

Aylwen Dreamsong is now the Innkeeper of The White Horse, where Bethberry, the former Innkeeper, still resides as owner, although she leaves the running of the Inn entirely up to Aylwen.

Other ongoing characters of the Inn are: (Please PM Bethberry if you wish your character to be a regular working in the Inn or around Edoras. She will add your character/s here.)
