Does everyone have there posts in? If so, what day are we starting the game?

Arry will be available for the game on Tuesday - so that's the day the game thread will open.

Let’s group the different villagers together and put the name of their village above each post for now. Wulfham for the Rohan proper villagers/Bregoware for the Outlanders.

The older characters, Undómë’s first and Nogrod’s following hers, can be posted later – after the Outlanders are well on their way. Pio you can post them at the appropriate time – or you two gamers can get them on at the right time, if you’re able.

Post Order:

Wulfham

Arry
Naria
Valier
Tevildo

---

Bregoware

Farael
Eowyn Skywalker
Maeggaladiel
Undómë

See you all on Tuesday or shortly thereafter as your schedules allow!

Pio, Arry and all my Bregoware friends. With regards to the ordering of our posts, and most importantly our second posts I was thinking that we could make a big mega-post with a short second post of each of us (I believe Undome and myself have already taken our characters to the Town Hall the following morning) in which we introduce each character to each other and then we can carry on with our "adventure".

Sounds good? if not, Undome's second part of the first post and my second post will be a bit too short when compared with the others.... or so I think

Looking forward to writing with you all!!

Actually, they aren't too short, Farael - they get your characters to the leaving place and both of you are free to add additional posts where you talk with the others in your party, mount up, receive direction from the march-warden as you wish, etc. Don't hurry along - there's plenty of play time and it's nice to deepen your characters as much as you can.

I'll work on putting up the posts just after midnight here in the Pacific northwest of the US - after I return from work. There will also be some final instructions about posting to the game included.

Undómë and Nogrod - I'll put your 'older characters' posts on the game once the chosen riders have left Bregoware.

Looks good!

And even if we oldtimer's are slow to start, we'll be at your backs soon enough.

Have a good ride everyone!

And let's hope that Valar will guard our way.

Which reminds me... exactly what beliefs did the people from Rohan have? if I'm not mistaken, the Valar are the gods of the elves and Numenorians (and as we are lead to believe, the 'true' deities of Middle Earth) yet did all the other cultures worship the valar?
