True. My point though is that we know Shasta was innocent, and I see no reason for an innocent to falsely claim to be Amandil. Like I said, that defeats the purpose of the role.

Okay, so I cannot receive a dream, Brin cannot receive a dream, and Inzil cannot receive a dream. Also, Anarion cannot self-protect. Those are the pertinent points here, and they are worth considering for the sake of strategy...

I really don't think anyone doubts that Shasta was Amandil. I put him as that in my list because I think it's pretty much agreed that that was the case. But since the Moddess said she wouldn't give any information about gifted roles then she didn't.

I think we can move on from this discussion (which isn't really a discussion, just the three of us agreeing), because it's pretty clear you're not going to be forced to retract your 'dream'.

This is totally going to turn into a philosophical discussion, isn't it? Where's Noggie when you need to discuss epistemology?

depends if the innocent is a CC.

As for everything else. Zil I think narrowing the field further would be good for tomorrow in case the KM do come after you... If Lottie is telling the truth Erendil is alive meaning the gifted you have is 50/50 Anarion or Isildur. are we sure we have the luxury of waiting?

I should be around for the next hour. Sorry about this day off and day 3 collided so a lot of catching up on errands and such today.

1. We absolutely do have that luxury - we're in a pretty great spot here as a village.

2. The gifted Isildur Zil dreamed of *is* Elendil. If Elendil is alive, Zil would have dreamed of him, not Anarion or Isildur.

EDIT: Zil dreamed, not Isildur.

Well, the phantocent thinks the Heir has left enough clues that a reveal by them could be fairly well proven. I think I see what he means.

x/d with Lottie

That's actually inaccurate. If Lottie is telling the truth, Dun has the name of Elendil. If not, Dun's got the identity of Isildur.

As far as the reveal, I'm feeling pretty good about things. Assuming there's still a seer, they can send something to who they think is the other gifted. If not, we have a ranger who can hopefully make a good choice for toNight's protection. Assuming I understand everything correctly, we'll be fine come the Morrow, even if Dun dies (not that I wish for that to happen, of course).


EDIT: x'd with Lottie and Dun

I would assume Elendil is capable of narrowing the field without Inzil's help.

Meh- they should just send the dream to Lottie again. She came through this time, didn't she?

Or just send it to Brin. As the Night 1 dreamer I hereby declare I was lying about Brin being a proven innocent- her status is revoked. There. Now Elendil can send a dream to Brin as well.

Sure, that's a great plan. Unless, you know, she's a wolf.

What is the Form of Wolf?

Anyway, I'll keep the Heir's ID to myself. If they want to reveal, I'll just confirm it.
