Well, I posted something. It is rough, I grant you, but it will continue the story line.

Now, earlier, Prim and Rowan had gone into Cook's room and found something. I don't think they found a letter. More like a carved ship or something. If I have time later, I will look into that and see just what it was.

Folwren you don't have to read through the whole post. I did a summary a little while ago to try and make it easier for any new recruits (as well as forgetful old lags) in post 822 of this thread. It includes relevant extracts and references most of the posts.

Small one if your character has passed through Mithlond you are welcome to claim acquaintanceship with my character Mithalwen. Let me know if there is any back story I should know.

Hello, everyone, and thanks for the warm welcome!

Folwren, I'm working on a post now, and I'll put it up it as soon as I get it finished.

Mithalwen, it would really depend on when your character was last at Mithlond. I was thinking that Amadi had spent the winter with the elves there, and then left Shireward when the weather turned (which would mean he has at least some proficiency in elvish). I doubt he got those vambraces by honest means, so if you really want to make him squirm, you can have her know the craftsman. That could be fun.

Speaking of weather, is it still spring at the inn?

PS - Loslote, I think the conversation at the elves' table is wide open. You can't respond to me directly, but maybe you can get the conversation drifting toward events at Mithlond to set up for some interaction?

PPS - With this username, I'll probably get the hobbit thing a lot.

Good thing I'm short and lovable.

Yes it is still Spring ... there was a small time distortion but only a few days have passed since the thread began!!

Mithalwen has been away from Mithlond only as long as it takes to get there by pony & trap. She came to meet the twins who travelled as far as the Shire from rivendell with pilgrims to the palantir plus a couple of days. So she probably left a couple of weeks ago at most.

Now Mithalwen is a craftswoman - specialist in musical instruments but since that would have small demand relatively I have imagined a lot of her "bread and butter" work is in more practical day to day items in wood and metal. To add leather too it might stretch her skills but I bet she would have made the buckles and would surely know the leather worker since Mithlond would have been a tiny community at that time. They might even be the type of thing she would use her self though more for support and protection when using tools. Mithalwen had a clearout to make room in her house for her expected visitors (the waggon is full of stuff that she was going to try and sell) so there might have been ample opportunity for an enterprising chap to help himself to anything of interest just lying around . Yes ... I think there will be some recognition. Excellent....

Just to let everyone know - everyone is invited to post in the inns/meadhall in the Shire, Rohan, and Gondor.

Just make sure your character and writing are up to the standards set in each ongoing storyline there.

Ball's in your court, Mithalwen.

Sorry to rush things so much, but I'm officially back in school as of tomorrow, and I wanted to get at least a good substantial post in before getting back to the grindstone. I'll still be around, but the length of posts will probably suffer.

Amadi probably left Mithlond sometime in the past couple of weeks, either shortly before or after your char. left, depending on how you write it. Since he was on foot and not really in a hurry, I think that would put him in about the right place.
