Quote:
Troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone.
For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins,
'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins.
A bit o' fresh meal will go down sweet!
Strider walked forward unconcernedly. 'Get up, old stone!' he said, and broke his stick upon the stooping troll.
In any case you might have noticed that one of them has an old bird's nest behind his ear. That would be a most unusual ornament for a live troll!'

RWEN: Lady sees herself in the mirror in a new rayment and takes a step back.

NOLIMON: The First King's heir, and by another name the First Queen's jewel.
6.
DIRHAEL: A King's descendant and a King's grandfather. Heal, and rid confusion!
It started out as Elrond's family, but then I was at loss for letters and would jave had to do a lot of back stepping. So it became Elrond's extended family, ie the line of Luthien.
Over to Pervinca!
