Regretfully there's a change of plans for my bio and post... I wasn't able to write it all up last night, which is why it wasn't posted today. But I am working in the few seconds I can swipe. I'll have it up soon.

Firefoot

Go ahead and work up the Lorien Elf. I've PM'd Child about being the Lindon Elf.

The Lindon Elf sounds fine to me. I am just starting work on the profile and post so I am the laggard in the group. I will be writing it over the weekend.

This sounds like an interesting storyline so I am very happy to be joining you all!

Which leaves only the rather complex, but I hope rewarding, role of Giledhel's ghost. Lots of tragedy and nostalgia in this part! Roll up, roll up...

Giledhel is found! Here's the list of players and characters so far:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLAYERS/CHARACTERS

Anguirel – Malris (Forlindon)
Child – Lindir (Lindon)
~*~
Pio – Endamir (Imladris)
Envinyatar – Orëmir (Imladris) *will also play some of the ‘houseless’ Orc spirits
~*~
Fea – Tasarënì (Lórien)
Firefoot - Lómwë (Lórien)
Pio – Giledhel (Malris’ dead wife)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHARACTERS STILL NEEDED

Any number of houseless spirits (Coavalta), either of Elves or Orcs – NO BIOS NEEDED A player may control more than one should they wish.

Here's my first post.

Pio, I've brought us just north of the Havens - the night before we find Malris' ship. Can you get us to the ship?

PLACED ON PROPOSAL ~*~ Pio

The stars were just opening in night’s field, glittering more brightly as the sun sank beneath the rim of the sea. There was enough light for Orëmir to study his brother’s face as he sat opposite him on his bedroll.

Orëmir’s hands were busy with his carving knife and a small piece of beech, one of many he’d brought with him from Imladris. From this one he was teasing a small chickadee, one of the many he’d seen on his treks along the valley’s sides seeking plants for his medicines. They were bright little birds, in spirit, if not in color. And they never ceased to make him smile with their hopping about beneath the low growing shrubs, ever on the alert for food.

His brother’s hands were busy with quill and ink; teasing some piece of history from his mind. Setting it down in black upon soft white as he scratched the letters across the pages of his journal. Capturing it; making it stand still. Almost as if it were some charm against its fading.

It had not proved so.

And here they found themselves, making a rough camp on a small rise above some unnamed stream flowing south from Emyn Uial into the Lhune. The healer and the word-smith. One in their affection for each other, but divided by the decision that must soon be made.

In the gathering darkness and his tangling thoughts, the knife slipped, nicking his finger. Blood welled up from the cut, and he brought the injured digit to his mouth to stanch the flow. It was salty. The taste of it mingling with the scent from the sea when the wind from the west blew up the river. His senses sharpened to a pinpoint and he thought, too, he could hear the sound of the far bells at the entrance to the harbor as the waves rocked them on their buoys.

‘The gulls, at least, are silent,’ he thought to himself as he drew his leather pouch toward him, fishing in it for a wad of moss to place against the wound.

Will do, Envinyatar!
