That is what I am doing, piosneiel. But my cousins don't know the story line very well of the 2nd and 3rd Age, they have only read the Hobbit and LotR.

I am doing all the preliminary writings, up to the point where we all meet - in the 7th Age.

I am kind of stuck right now. I know where I want a character (Envinyatalis) to head, but to get him there is a difficult process. He is on the way to a battle - the one with the Witch-King - but he is in Khazad-dûm. I want him to get mithril from the mines to forge the sword, yet I want a conflict of some type to take place with the Dwarves.

BTW, does anyone know how far, in leagues or miles, it is from Nogrod to Khazad-dûm? I want to be more descriptive thoughout the story. I don't want it to just be history! I want it to live on the pages and in the minds of the reader.
