Hi all!

As you might see from pio's list, I'm now allowed to post in Rohan (if I dare to). I would like to get my character in quite soon.

I have thought about a dunlending (or is the correct word dunleding?) character. That could create interesting situations...

I would maybe a female character since I've actively played only men this far, but I can add another guy to my "collections" if that's necessary. My character would probably be a kind of outcast (from Dunland) who has lived in Rohan for at least one year, so she wouldn't be totally unfamiliar with the language and stuff like that.

I don't know yet, why'd she be in the inn, but I'm sure I can make something up.

I think anyway, that I need some advice/comments on dunlendings before starting. Since anglo-saxon names are used for rohirrim, I wonder what kind of names would the dunlendings have; how similar that should be to the rohirric names. Maybe ancient german names? Or do they sound too similar to anglo-saxon names?http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/ger-anci.php

The other thing I maybe should know about is the relationship of the dunlendings and the rohirrim. I imagine that in the Fourth Age they'd be in peace but still wary (or even hostile) towards each other and there's be no love between the peoples. Do you guys agree/disagree?

And I promise I won't start discussing with Nogrod in this inn..
