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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
