<<<<<<<Orodan & Nefros>>>>>>>>>>

It was early morning, Orodan and Nefros where riding along the the River Runing southbound having a conversation of Nefros’s young sister Isilya.

"She is growing anxious, and im afraid my songs do not give her joy as they did years ago, she deeply desires to take part in our journeys, and quite honestly I would like to see such joy in her face again, my lord," Said Nefros.
"As do I" Said Orodan,
"But it would take great persuasion on my part for my father to allow a maiden as fair as your sister to be put in such danger."

"Ironic is it indeed when prince Orodan attempts to put a smile on the face of a frowning Nefros, but………"

At that moment a trumpet sounded in the north, it was the trumpet of summons, which has not sounded sense the War of the Ring.

"We must make Haste," Shouted Orodan, for deathly thoughts rushed through his head.

"Perhaps your Brother has returned Sire."

"Or met great peril," Replied Orodan.

Orodan and Nefros rushed to the Kings throne to find he was setting quite Calm rereading the letter from the High King.

Thranduil- "Welcome back my son, I feared you had traveled outside the sound of the trumpet, Im glad you returned so quickly it shall save us much time."
Orodan- "Please Father why such haste."
Thranduil- "I do not doubt you my son and I am very proud of your journeys, but it is once again time for you to prove your self worthy of the throne of Eryn Lasgalen but this time I will give you a responsibility that may change our fate for ever.
I have received a Summons from the High King at Minas Anor. Representatives from each Kingdome in Middle Earth shall meet at Minas Anor to establish a trade and Unite the peoples.
You know how I feel about such matters involving Men and Dwarves, but for this matter I will ignore my head and trust my heart I will leave the choice up to you. Of course the loyal Nefros shall travel along your side but you may also choose another representative from Eryn Lasgalen. Your friend Girion as always is welcome to travel through the woods as well as his servants. If the Dwarves wish to follow you the may but they will not have the Magic of the woods on their side and shall only have your party’s protection.
Be off my son you will leave midday tomorrow."

Walking out the Door of the Halls of the King Orodan turned and asked his Father.

"Have you word of Legolas father, for I do wish he was by our side again."

"That matter weighs on my heart more than you realize my son, and we shall discuss it before you leave," Replied the King.

As Orodan and Nefros where walking from the Kings chamber, Nefros turned to Orodan and said; "Perhaps the songs of this journey shall return the joy to Isilya’s face."

"Prepare the journey at once Nefros I have two letters I must right at once," Said Orodan.

As Nefros turned away Orodan Shouted; "Nefros …….. Perhaps for this journey you will be kind enough to sing of your sister by our side."

Nefros laughed aloud and shouted; "You are too kind to us my lord."

Letter to Erebor:

Dear Ambassadors, Diplomats, and Servants of Erebor, I Orodan Son of Thranduil King of Eryn Lasgalen invite you travel along my side through the woods of my Kingdom for the journey to meet with the high King at Minas Anor. Though we have had many disputes in our past I propose we declare a new friendship for this new age. I do hope you will accept my invitations and meet us where the Forest River meets the forests of Eryn Lasgalen. I am looking forward to our long journey together.

Letter to Girion;

To my Dear Friend Girion I do hope we will travel together on the journey to Minas Anor as my Father has granted you and your servant’s safe passage through the woods. I have also invited the Dwarves of Erebor, but we must give them the best protection we can offer for the magic of Eryn Lasgalen as never been kind to the Dwarven Race.
As you know my father deeply disagrees with the trade im afraid I agree with him but for unlike reasons. As where Most the kingdoms of Middle Earth will greatly benefit from the trade im afraid it will be our demise for where your walls are made of stone and rock mine are of trees and brush which will diminish as new paths are made for the trade. I propose an alliance with Eryn Lasgalen, Dale, and Erebor that will benefit the three Kingdoms equally as well as the King. We will discuss the matters in more detail on the journey. Let us not let these matters break the bonds of our friendship. You have always made the Honorable decisions, and I look for your aide in mine. If you wish to travel along my side we will meet where the Forest River meets Eryn Lasgalen.


Orodan Son of Thranuil King of Eryn Lasgalen
