The next card, hand-drawn with a good deal of care, showed a simple greeting on its cover.
Inside, the card read -
" To the Great Lord Wight,
Many a warm return on your sixth birthday! Though I was not around for the moment of its 'death', I have been a lurker for many a day after. Just shy over four years I have roleplayed, quizzed and been quizzed, and sometimes even discussed things pertaining to this great Middle Earth.
I give you thanks for a wonderful haven. Though dead, I have enjoyed living every day here! I hope there are many more for you, and for the wonderful capers on The Downs.
Sincerely,
Taralphiel
