Yet another intriguing, well written post, Firefoot.
 Warning: Pet Peeve below! What ever happened to the good old Anglo-Saxon word, "motto"? When did it get replaced by the Hindi borrowing, "mantra"? Elempi grumbles. End Pet Peeve. Please don't feel that you need to change anything, Firefoot.  Actually, "motto" is from Latin.

Hey Lhuna if you're around any time then feel free to carry on that conversation, if not I'll just have Kara backtrack and disappear.

I think Kath, too, missed that they are eating in the kitchen and not outside in the Hall, but I could be wrong. Sorry I can't write immediately, but it's September and I have busy days ahead... I'll try to squeeze in the first chance I get.

Ooops, sorry all. I completely missed that they were in the kitchen. Ginna coming through doors confused me. Should I edit mine or has your edit sorted it lmp? My post definitely keeps Ginna in the kitchen with me because I had her going the wrong way.

I apologize most profusely for the length (or lack there of) of my last post. I had nothing further to say and so I didn't say it. Sorry.
Later this morning I should have a post up for Javan, though. -- Folwren

Okay ... erm, well I've just removed any references to places really. Hopefully it should fit in now.

I'm ready to move past breakfast. Unless someone objects reasonably soon, I'll do it either tonight or tomorrow.

I've moved past breakfast, just in case nobody noticed. (sigh)
It's been almost a week, a very busy one for me. Is this losing interest? Shall we make work of it? Does something else need to be done? Do we need to recruit new writers? |

One of the inactive writers here
I did notice but I've been in a hurry. I'll try to post the thing I wrote weeks ago.
Hopefully I'll find time to do that in a few days.Personally I don't think the problem with EMH is that people are losing interest but that everybody's terribly busy.

I'm not bored with it. I'm just waiting for Firefoot to post. I think I've stumped her.

I plead an incredibly busy life as of the last week or two... I haven't lost interest at all, but haven't had time to devote to RPG's (I was just about ready to bring Scyld in, too, darn it). |

Okay, my worries are ameliorated.
 Or something like that. I'm on vacation to California next week, and may or may not have computer access. Just letting you know.

How long will you be away, Elempi? Hope you have fun.
Firefoot, I'm sorry that you're so busy. Being busy isn't always fun. My schedule is actually finally becoming normal again. I'm so excited! But post whenever you can. I've got enough patience to wait, and I've got my own stories to write. -- Folwren

Nice post Lommy!
I'll try to engage myself yet again... although it seems pretty hard right now due to work.

Is Falco still at the Mead Hall at this time? -- Foley

Yes. He's been in his room most of the morning once the stable was found empty. Where you have placed him is fine.

Heh...I hope Thornden didn't offend Falco terribly much. I didn't mean to...and therefore, he didn't either.
But it is a rather humorous situation. Poor Thornden. He has a difficult time with the hobbit. Ha. -- Folwren

Do remember that Rowenna's views are not necessarily those of this writer.

Aye. Thanks for the reminder. You had me worried momenatarily.
But poor Thornden! He was just trying to be nice! Twice in a row he was trying to be nice and both times he got flat refusals to his offers. It'is all good. I'm happy and quite amused. -- Foley EDIT: Wait a minute....what do you mean, 'not necessarily those of this wirter'? Is Thornden really a stuck up snob and I'm the only one who doesn't know it?

Relax, "not necessarily" simply means that Rowenna is being written by this writer, so I mean it in the same sense that I would expect that Thornden's views are not necessarily those of his writer.

Introducing two new characters...maybe only temporarilly. Elempi, don't feel obligated to accept him as your innkeeper. I just wanted to have a new character for a while.
He's not entirely blind - he can see people as shadowy shapes...very dark. He sees best at high noon, when it is brightest, and worst at night when there is no light. I don't know his name yet.  -- Folwren

Aww, I like 'em both already.
Fleide seemed at first like 4 but she's using words (such as position) like at least an 8 year old. How old do you mean her to be? |

Somewhere between 8 and 10, likely. She's capable of being extremely childish at times (not in a bad way), but she's also rather responsible and takes good care of her father.

Hmm and hmm! What do you want to happen here, Foley? Are you going to write for the rude man? What do you want Eodwine to do?

I'm writing for Mr. Rude Fellow. Have Eodwine do as he would normally do. He's expecting people to come and ask about the position, isn' he?
Mr. Rude came in first and I imagine Eodwine has no knowledge of what passed outside. Mr. Rude shall act politely enough to the eorl, more than likely, so ... well, swing it, unless you want to write something by PM. On second thought, if you want to, you can write for Mr. Rude, too. Do what you want with him. He can be a pretty neutral character, so long as he doesn't leave my ideas about him. -- Folwren

Interesting goings on in Rohan!
It's always good to read your posts, Nerindel! It's interesting how you're writing in the future of those who are still writing in Edoras. Don't worry, we'll catch up to you, and you need change nothing. Foley, I'll write a response to the three newcomers soon. |

So Æðel is a month into the future. By the way, I really like how you're setting it up that Eodwine's reception amongst the Middle Emnet folk near Scarburg is chancy. Nice touch.

Eorling Mead Hall Regarding Time at the Eorling Mead Hall The year is Fourth Age 15 (not 14 as I had wrongly recalled) March 25 - posts 1 - 114...........Eodwine's first day as Eorl of Middle Emnet April 1 - posts 115 - 205...........The hall wall falls down April 4 - posts 206 - 303...........The Fair - Léof wins a horse race; Linduial is abducted; Nain arrives April 25 - posts 304 - 400.........Eodwine holds court; Stigend, Modtryth, & Cnebba arrive, Aeol goes to study in the golden hall April 26 - posts 401 - 468.........Trystan arrives; Linduial leaves; Garstan and Stigend plan the new kitchen May 22 - posts 469 - 634..........Garmund, Falco & Thornden discover "Rilef" in the ruins; Javan arrives May 23 - posts 635 - 705..........Ginna arrives & Harreld goes moony May 24 - posts 706 - 852..........Elfthain arrives; Ritun & Lefun (Ritun) are killed by outlaws; Rowenna is freed & comes to the Hall. Elián arrives. Æðel riding to Eodwine’s aid gets side tracked and rides to the aid of the border farmers of the traitor Sorn’s lands Events occurring between May 24 & June 24: Ulrich & Withold are hanged; Stigend is made a man of the Hall for a year and a day; Æðel Continues contact and treatment of the peoples of the traitor Sorn’s lands while continuing her training in the golden hall. June 24 - posts 853fff............... ***************************************** I have added Æðel to your time line, I hope this clears up the confusion with my time line. Most of my Post is back tracking, well the bit regarding the Borderlanders anyway. Æðel is not aware that Lord Eodwine has been granted those lands nor that he has renamed it or that the meadhall is relocating. Though my next post will have her discovering some things, but the main reason for her summons is that I could not justify her presance under the kings roof without anyone wondering who she was and why she was there. Lets Just say that as a foriegner in the kings halls she needs some credentials or perhap a good reference from a previous employer in Gondor.
