I'll make one last post for Eodwine that is pre-sub-plot rpg, in which he dresses down Degas and then all of the mead hall friends go there, at which point the sub-rpg takes over the plot.

We'll start on April 24 Game time, with my next post. Okay, everybody?

What?! Oh, very well. I guess so. I had been looking forward to writing a post with a discussion between Thornden and his sister about Rose and her family...could have gotten some real amusement out of that one. And then coming back to meet Lys...but that second part can be made up later, I guess.

If all this is entirely out of the question, though, I'll have to live with it. Don't want to put the rest of you out of commission.

Do you or anyone else mind if I do an occassional Away post for Rose and her family?

At some point, I'll bring them for a trip into the "big" city.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted much Rl has been keeping me overly busy lately.

Wow It looks like I have lot's to catch up on!

hmm but one thing has thrown me well my character actually.

Fourth Age Year 15. 16, actually, come to think of it, seeing as a new March 25 has just come and gone lately.....

You see young Æðelhild was written with the old White horses time line in mind.

The White Horse Inn, Act III

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

The curtain rises on The White Horse Inn, Act III, Rohan's premier Inn and purveyor of fine gaming and characters.

The plot so far:

It is the 4th Age, Year One. This is the year 1423 by Shire Reckoning and four years after the events of the War of the Ring, fourteen years after the events of the previous White Horse Inn.

but now that we have jumped forward some 15yrs or so, it does not quite work out. As this would make her not even born during the war of the ring as she is only just approaching 18yrs, making all the posts about serving with the healers and knowing both her father and grandfather before their deaths some what redundant.

I'm thinking that I may have to age her somewhat instead of 18yrs she may have to be about 27yrs, but then I think somewhere Leof mentions something about them being of simmilair ages hmmm *stumped*

Any suggestions?

Updated Mead Hall plan:

New plan.

The hallway has been squared off. I imagine there are windows in the hallway looking out on the alder court, maybe some shelving in between them and along the opposite wall for added storage. Those corners make some nice nooks on the outside. Benches? Plants? Statues of hobbits?

I'm not entirely sure what the larger gray box in the kitchen represents, but it's there.

I'm not sure I have much to add right now. At least, nothing that I can't handle in retrospect after the time change if I don't have a chance to post before the switch. I might not, since I sort of have a big shelf exam at the end of next week in a massive topic, but I'll try.

Yeah, somehow I don't think the two of them would have hit it off quite so well if she was ten years older than him...

How about writing it anyway, just put it as something that happened in the past and Thornden is reliving it in his mind?

Not at all. Please do! It's part of the story now, and to now have it would be a loss we don't want to grieve.

Uh oh. That's a goof on my part. I'm sorry. Could there be a different war? or battle? I really don't know what to say....

That could work:

Appendix A:
For though Sauron had passed, the hatreds and evils that he bred had not died, and the King of the West had many enemies to subdue before the White Tree could grow in peace.
