Since it's a minor character, I didn't put too much information on. I think it would be enough, though.

NAME: Thiliel

AGE/GENDER/RACE/WHERE FROM: 14/female/Men/Lebennin

APPEARANCE: Straight black elbow-length hair, usually plaited. Grey dancing eyes. Rosy cheecks. Wears light dresses, which she often changes, usually light-blue or yellow in colour.

BITS OF CHARACTER/HISTORY YOU FEEL MIGHT BE HELPFUL IN DEFINING THE CHARACTER:
Ingold’s niece. Came to Minas Anor for Cormare. She is assisting her uncle in the inn during this time as well. Very talkative. Often stops working to have a chat with one person or another. Fascinated by stories. Likes to fantasize that she is one of the people in the stories.

PS: how much do we know about Ingold at the moment?

PPS: when will be the best moment for Thiliel to enter?

Mnemo, Coldan has given Brinn a brief digest, but you can tell him to report in full to Rollan in the common room if you want, he'll appreciate the chance to get a drink. I wasn't sure whether or not Brinn would be going to retire after such an eventful morning. Also, assume that Collie and Harry are still unaware that anything remarkable has transpired at the inn in their absence, somebody should bring them up to date.

G55, I take it Thiliel is not only visiting, but helping Ingold around the inn too, right? She looks nice to me, I suppose Sereth might like to have another teenager to socialize with (although as far as I remember, 12 and 14 is still a big difference at that age). As for Ingold, I suspect he may be the very man of that name who led the workers repairing the Rammas when Gandalf and Pippin came to Minas Tirith? If so, I guess he'd be a former mason or some such, possibly serving in the army at that time. Funny nobody's thought of asking him for his memoirs yet.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll edit it into the bio.

So he's an old man now, if it's that Ingold. Don't worry about his memoirs - Thiliel will fix everything with her thirst for stories. "Uncle Ingold, can you please tel me one more of your stories from a long time ago?"

PS: if he's that old, maybe I should make Thiliel his granddaughter or something.

Pitchwife · 03-27-2011, 02:45 PM

Hm, Ingold wouldn't necessarily be that old - somewhere between fifty and sixty, I'd guess (although that probably still makes him an old man from Thiliel's perspective

); and if he had younger siblings, it wouldn't be at all extraordinary for him to have a 14 year old niece. In a large family, it's not unusual for the eldest and the youngest child to be ten years or more apart.

As for when to enter, it's up to you. Harrenon and Coldan will be thirsty, so you could take their orders once they've joined Amdír and Rollan in the common room. Or you could run into Sereth while she's stalking Sador to his room. Or, since it should be about noon by now, you could take a meal to Brinn who's staying with the wagons and can't walk to fetch herself one. Or whatever suits you best.

Galadriel55 · 03-27-2011, 04:21 PM

Well, Iorlas was "old" when he was 29... it doesn't matter that much anyways, though.

For now Thilien brought Brinn her meal - thanks for the idea, Pitch! It's up to you to shoo her off or to tell her about the troupe or whatever else you want.

the phantom · 03-28-2011, 11:26 AM

Mnemo- should I assume Rollan waved off Aldarion to be on his way? I had him inform Rollan of his intentions just in case you needed him to stick around or wanted to insist on Rollan going along or something.

Mnemosyne · 03-28-2011, 11:41 AM

That's fine, phantom. Rollan's not keen on going anywhere at the moment.

I'd say it depends a lot on the individuals and Sereth for one at least tries to act older than she is...

In other words, writing a post now.

...and Thiliel seems unable to grow up...

Apologies it's been a crazy and exhaustive week which basically entailed work, eating, sleeping, and not time for much else. Once I catch up on the action after Amdir's firing, Branor and Therian will report to Brinn.

Welcome aboard Galadriel, I saw with how you were keeping track and thought "there's no way she's staying away forever."

Glad you have joined the party.

Formendacil · 03-29-2011, 09:42 AM

My apologies for the brevity of my post, but apparently Amdír is being a bit moody--I even had to make Rollan tell Coldan the news.

The fact that I'm swamped with school and possibly coming down with a cold has, of course, nothing to do with it.

Mnemosyne · 03-29-2011, 10:15 AM

Formy, if you hadn't, Rollan was going to spill anyway. Nice post.
