Thanks, LMP for information and welcome.

Apparently I should look around more carefully...

You told Nogrod that he could play a craftsman and I wouldn't mind taking the advice myself. A little bit individualistic female carpenter from a well-to-do craftsman family? No runaway, no outcast, no noblewoman nor poverty stricken.

My character could be a Rohir or a Dunlending, either'd be fine with me.

As I'm not having great ideas, only good/acceptable ones, those willing to give me ideas are very welcome to do so.

One more question: how old are the people in the inn? I wouldn't mind bringing a new perspective to the inn by taking a person from a rare age group.

My and Nogrod's characters (both Beornings) met in the Green Dragon Inn and started discussing. Result: an overlong debate about hostilities between their families, started in early February is still going on and shows no signs of ending. The funniest of it all is that we don't know even ourselves what really has happened, we just make it up as our characters discuss/dispute. But we're not going to establish such an inside quarrel in this inn...

We have a lot of the younger generation. Watching this is occasionally like watching Papa Eodwine take care of a bunch of fumbling kids. And welcome everybody new.

Please, everybody, supply ages. I'm not sure myself on all of them. Eodwine is 41 and Falco Boffin is 53. Garreth & Harreld the Smiths are 35.

Here's a post with
character descriptions which will need to be updated once you and Nogrod decide who you're writing.

People have described Manawyth as a "youth", but I intended him to be in his mid-thirties, sort of thing, just about old enough to have fought at the Hornburg when very young and to have experienced all the reprisals since.

Bear in mind he probably doesn't know how old he is himself, precisely.
