Excellent, Esgal!

I'll have Eodwine bring it up with Gudryn, and we'll see where it goes. Glad to have you back.

lmp if you need helpers in the kitchen I can happily create a character looking for a job. I prefer to have something for a character to do anyway! Anything in particular you need?

Shield

And if the Mead Hall needs a young warrior or two, Garwine son of Garulf is looking for a job.

Also, lmp, when should we start posting? I've already typed up half of a post on my computer, and I'm ready to finish and post it as soon as you give the word. Can we do so now, or are you going to post once more telling us about the current events, weather, etc.?

Weather? Current events? Feel free to be creative with that.

Post now, please!

It never occurred to me that you guys were waiting for me to give you permission. The thread's open. If you've been cleared by Pio, you're fine; go for it.

Employees of all kinds are needed. I need a cook, serving-wench (gotta stick with the lingo of the culture), ostler (stable-man), general repair man, a bailliff, and a couple of men at arms. Oh, and for the next few months, carpenters and other building oriented craftsmen.

I'll take dibs on the serving-wench if you don't mind. I will get a post up soon but unfortunately real life has to come first for a bit.

1420!

Just chiming in here - yes, please post to the Mead Hall Thread.

Gamers in Rohan are encouraged to be more independent now that you have gamed in the Shire.

Just wondering: what exactly can current Shirelings do in the Mead Hall? Could I, for instance, occupy one of the minor permanent Mead Hall positions?

I've made my first post, I hope that you will be happy with it. I can't wait till the other characters start to be introduced both old and new.

It's yours, Kath. Let's write it up.

Alcarillo, have Garwine stop by the Mead Hall and get acquainted with Eodwine. Maybe have him say that he had reported to Meduseld and been sent to Eodwine by the King's order. (or something to that effect)

Is that right? Or am I thinking too. . .violently or excitedly here?
That would be great, Folwren! I looked up bailiff in the dictionary to be sure. I fear I have introduced a Norman/French term (bailiff) into an Anglo-Saxon culture, a major no-no. The Anglo-Saxon term is hafod-monn, which is "head man". What we should be going for is a right-hand man, who carries out the justice that the Eorl speaks in his Mead Hall (court).

Eodwine is a friend of the Shire, having spent time up there. He brought back with him one Master Falco Boffin, a former Shirriff of the Shire. So Holbytlan are most welcome in Eodwine's Mead Hall.

Thanks for your interest and involvement, everybody!

Um. . .then how should I introduce my character? Should he, too, be suggested by King Eomer, or should I walk in and ask if you can use me?

Sorry for so many questions. . .
