It's 150 miles as the crow flies from Andunie to Armenelos. Ondosto is midway between, more or less. Disregard the "approximate path" its just the best map of numenor I had handy. Although I think LMP described a fairly similar route.

Shadowfax did 100 miles a day between Rohan and Gondor, we should do a little less... so to get just past Ondosto would be the end of day 2? That's doing 75 miles a day. Pretty good for horsepower. Wagon trains did approx. 20-30 miles/day, right?

Okay, so LMP (or whoever else) if I miss out slightly on the timing [which is highly possible, as I'm not at home currently], when I get my Inzi post complete, should I post it here to be edited in to Day Two, mid-morning?

Feanor, tell us where you want it and either the owner of that post or Pio can slide it into whichever post you say; if it needs to be revised later because somebody (Sophia) knows better, we can do that.

Sounds good. I'm going to post... Tomorrow. After school, I think. Since I was naughty and stayed up until nearly 4:00 AM and consequently spent most of today either in a sleep-like trance or actually asleep. Anything anybody wants me to make sure I add to my post before I write it?

EDIT: I've looked through the actual game posts, and it seems that Kathaani just fell asleep at the night of the first day. So does anybody object to me having Inzillomi's morning post next? Or would someone like to get in an early morning travelling post first? You have until about 8:30 tomorrow morning before I post. After that, I can edit stuff in if need be.

Feanor asked me if Inzi knows of Mabalar's to this point unheard of pre-marriage dalliance with Miriel. It was a surprise to me until a day or two ago! I'm posting my answer here so that everybody in this rp can benefit from this little piece of advice.

I'm not going to give an answer to the question. Instead, I'd like to see Inzi, while she's riding eastward, think back to the time before she was married to Mabalar, and reminisce about it; the idea is for the story to reveal to you what Inzi knows, rather than you or me making a choice about it.

This kind of thing applies to anybody's character. If you're not sure what your character knows or doesn't know, find out by writing it out and see what your deep mind gives you. It can be quite shocking and revealing; not to mention fun.

"Dalliance" might be a bad word, considering the connotations. Let's just say they were serious about each other until the ambitious Fool stepped in.

Deleted my old save and put up a new post. I think someone owed Marsillion a thank you.

Let me know if any changes are necessary.
