For the present, we can continue; I'll edit the end of my last post to show Eodwine walking back to his rooms, all a-mix in his middle, betraying just that on his countenance. Et cetera. Carry on! Nymphette means female water spirit, if you go by the Greek; A nymph is female, so the "ette" can't mean that or it would be redundant. So it means the same thing as cigarette as compared to cigar === small nymph. So a rough translation would be tiny nymph. In other words, a big nuisance!  Saddening dream?  It was meant to be chaotic and hilarious; or at least crazy and dreamlike. *Elempi shrugs*

Can I close out the day? Pretty please? That would give me plenty of time to perfect my post...
Except that I'm going to be away the 21st-26th. So if that's ok, can I close out the day? If it's not let me know quickly so I remember to post up before I leave.

Elempi, ye don't mind waiting a bit, do you, before Thornden leaves Eodwine's company, do you? Or before I answer you? If you're in a hurry to do something with your character, I can add something to my last post and ... somehow answer you. Actually, I can do that anyway. Ne'er mind. But - if you want Eodwine to be able to leave, I'll need to know. Otherwise, I'll just have Thornden answer and continue with his breakfast and not necessarily give you a good chance to leave. Of course, Eodwine could always just get up and leave...but you can decide, I guess.

It appears that interest and plot possibilities are high enough such that it may serve us best to make this a full day instead of a foreshortened one. So let's do it. That means Formy can post as soon as he likes, too.
Full Day! |

I'm thinking that it's Lhuna's turn to post about Ginna, after which I'll post up for Eodwine (and Randvér). Sound good?

Well we're out of the Hall now and on our way into town Form. But we have a slight problem in that I have no idea what is around the place that Kara can show you! Any ideas? What would Nain like to see?
Merry Christmas to everybody! Enjoy your days.

If you've been to York, perhaps you can imagine what it was like 1100 years ago, and use it as a sort of blue-print for Edoras, using your imagination of course!

What needs to be done to get this thread moving again?
Tara, I do intend on writing a post sometime or other with Thornden. Can I address Lys? I still don't know what Thornden is going to suggest to Lys that he can do... Does anyone have any ideas? Tara, have you anything in mind? Time for dinner. -- Folwren

Hmm... I suppose there are the mounds of the Kings. Or maybe a graveyard area in general. As a stone-carver, Náin's professional interest would be anything that's stone, and a graveyard seems like the best place to look for stone carvings, though I don't know that headstones would have been the norm... Other than that, what else might be stone in Edoras? Let's work with that as a basis, since Náin is both interested in stone, and anything with stone would most likely be the grandest place in town. What does one normally see when sight-seeing? Churches, palaces, natural vistas... Well, Churches are out, this being Middle-Earth, and I'm not thinking of any real equivalent, other than the King's Hall, which Náin has already seen. Palaces= Houses, manors, castles, villas, mansions... There might be one or two houses of note in Edoras, but how much sight-seeing could one really do, people living there and all? And natural vistas... I'm guessing that if one went out of the city, there could be all kinds of things here, this being right in the foothills of the mountains and all. There could be waterfalls, lakes, streams, caves. Is any of this really suitable for the sort of day we seem to have been leading up to though? And that leaves... well, I'm thinking places of burial, be they mounds, graveyards, or whatnot... Could there be a town square in Edoras- possibly with some of the finest buildings in town around? Náin may be a stone carver, but wood-carving would interest him. Maybe a town fountain? Or is Edoras "green" enough to have parks/royal preserves/etc...? I think the problem I'm encountering is that most of things one goes normally to "tour" are the sorts of things that only really appeared come the Renaissance... which is a bit post-Rohirric in nature. Could there be any old Gondorian ruins in the area? Gondor ruled Calenardhon for two and a half millennia. Maybe there was a big ranch house or something in the vale... Lots of random speculations... note sure where we're going.

I would not protest if you use the movie as a guide to what might be found in Edoras, since I trust the two primary artists for their faithfulness to Tolkien's settings far more than I do the director's faithfulness to Tolkien's characters and themes. So if you have the movie, take a look at Edoras on that, and proceed accordingly.
Having said that, I tend to think that the Edoras of the movies is a rather spartan business, and does not account for the variety of trades that had to exist in the Third Age of Middle Earth in Rohan. Rex Anglorum may help in this regard. Tanners Wainwrights Carpenters Stone shapers Goatherds Horse breeders sellers of various dry goods fletchers smiths teamsters the list goes on..... |

The mud is actually quite symbolic, and very clear, considering who passes him by.
 Jenny, I think it would be fine for you to close out the day. I'd be surprised if we're ready to do that as early as the end of this year, but you never know..... Funny post, Celuien. I didn't know Garstan had an 'evil' side.

When Eodwine is dressed, do you suppose he'll be returning to the main hall for breakfast? And, Firefoot, are you around? If so, can Thornden address Leof sometime this morning? -- Folwren
