Here There Be Dragons - Discussion/Planning

[Child of the 7th Age]

Nerindel,

Pio and I have popped our last posts forward on the thread so that the time sequence will be less of a problem. I probably won't get to Ayar's death scenes till Sunday or Monday, so if you or Hilde or Ealasaide need more saves before Ayar dies and the morning comes feel free to reserve them now.

If you'd like to have Sorona say goodbye to Ayar, you could look over the earlier thread and see where something like that would fit in. If you want to have Ayar actually respond to you, you'll have to go back a ways on the thread since she has been in a deep sleep and unresponsive for some time. You could post on the discussion thread and I'm sure Mithadan could paste it in. (Or if it's in one of my boxes, I'll be glad to do that as well.)

If you just want to go into Ayar's tent and quietly say goodbye to a dying woman who is unconscious, you could go ahead and do that now by putting up the saves.

Hope this helps. If anyone has more questions or concerns about the sequencing , just post them here or send a pm and we'll work something out.

Thanks for all that research, Pio! What with our list of characters, both allies and enemies, growing longer all the time, that's very helpful!

[Child of the 7th Age]

Pio,

Your historian friend who can't keep her characters straight truly thanks you!

I will print it out and keep it handy. If and when other characters are added, let's try to keep it updated.

**********************

Tehe....Aiwendil is listed as an "odd and assorted character". I definitely knew he was odd, but had never heard that he was "assorted"!

[piosenniel]

Will do!

And if anyone sees something missing - or adds a new character or place - please alert me.

By the way - where exactly is the maenwaith city in relation to the Bay of Umbar (if you can tell me in reference to the map I've provided that would be great).

Aiwendil is a bit odd and by the end of the game I hope to have him sorted out at least as far a Rog's understanding of him.

Thanks!

~*~ Pio

[Estelyn Telcontar]

If I remember rightly, we decided that the city Wyrma is building is east of the Havens of Umbar, though we didn't choose a precise location or distance.

[Hilde Bracegirdle]

Just a quick and belated note to say that the term Meldakhar, meaning ‘dear lady’, is a term of affection rather than I title, so on Ayar’s death I do not know if it will carry on to Narika or not, but certainly would not be used for Thorn.
