Eorling Mead Hall Planning/Discussion Thread

[Dunwen]

Pio was kind enough to send me a message in mid-January suggesting that I take a peek at Littlemanpoet's discussion thread for the Eorling Mead Hall, which I have finally gotten to now that I am done preparing various projects at work. I am intrigued and attracted! However, I hesitate to propose a permanent character due to RL constraints -- my availability to post depends on what time of year it is.

However, I saw that Eodwine, as Eorl of the Mid Emnet, has holdings away from the mead hall itself...LMP, may I play a character from one of the freeholds? For example, a farmer would be expected to send provisions to the lord periodically. That would enable me come and go (so to speak) as I need to and would provide a character to interact with others in the Hall. If something like that would work, let me know.

Manawyth and Caerissin are both Welsh/Anguirelish words...

I think this is going to be interesting...

By all means, Dunwen,, I like the idea! Feel free to introduce your farmer at any time.

Feanor, it's still the same day - roughly lunch time. Falco has been a very late riser this day.

Yes, Anguirel, I'm finding it intriguing too. Especially with how Falco changes the whole dynamic.

Oh pish. Somehow I contorted my times. Blame a spastic weekend.

[Folwren]

Great Heaven's above! You would have me figure out an answer, wouldn't you?

Well, at least I'm here today, so I'll be able to answer it before Tuesday. *sigh* We'll see what poor Thornden can do.

Anguirel, tell me. . .did your character (I can't spell his name) really call Eodwine a lout and plunderer? I thought he did but, I couldn't be quite sure. That's so. . .insulting.

-- Folwren

[Anguirel]

Not exactly.

He said that just as to Eodwine he looked like an outlaw, to him, Eodwine looked like a lout or a plunderer. Then he blamed it on cultural heritage.

Manawyth's really a rather liberal chap!

[Folwren]

Aye, a little liberal in a place where it's not exactly healthy for a Dunlending to be liberal.

-- Folwren

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

It's okay... it's creating such wonderful tension.

Hee hee! What fun.

I was going to take you off the hook with my latest post, but you snuck it in there, as was your right and priviledge. I'm eager to see what Manawyth does with this latest twist in the plot. By the way, this is a gas! Great writing! I really like the way the various characters have reacted across the board, from Gárwine's truly Rohirric attitude (not unlike Eodwine's) to the 'not knowing' of Gudryn, to the reserved judgement of Thornden, to the open mindedness of Saeryn and others. Great variety!
