Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
And here I've been imagining the place the southeast of Edoras... near the mountains-ish. With lots of trees. And that's definitely the sort of place where Scyld's escape took place in the Abduction RPG (according to my posts anyway...). Dang, now I'm going to have to completely reimagine the place. (Well, not entirely the tree part... that's been established.) I hate when this happens.

Yeah, I actually had the same kind of problem. The description of Scarburg under the holding of Sorn was originally that it was north of Edoras in the West Emnet (or if you like the newly created Middle Emnet), but this rough terrain kept getting described into the Abduction story (perhaps by you, Firefoot), and I just went with it, and so the Scar was created where Tolkien never had such a thing.

Now don't be silly... Of course the Scar was there. Tolkien was just busy with other things and forgot to mention it.

Elempi, will there be a time jump? If so, soon? If not, I'll just sort of jump in.
