Imladris Activities General OOC Thread

[Lirimaer]

I'm just starting to begin my Last Homely House post before getting to other threads.

Yay!

[Turin Ringhûn]

Just spreading the word, I was going through my old photobucket, and I saw I had boards from the old Word Sleuth games. And from the few games I officiated, I have all 26 letter tiles too. I have made a blank tile as well, just because.

The Word Sleuth Tiles are Here
The Word Sleuth Boards are Here

[Eriol]

Reading over your background, too @Lirimaer ! Making me wanna ask Ercassie if she wants to reestablish the Library of Rivendell at some point. Do you want me to stay what the rooms you like or would you enjoy the freedom?

I'm making a Rivendell Archives thread sometime tonight. That will contain guild-related or army-related information, linked to OP of relevant threads. Threadrunners or leaders will be able to utilize the archives. Quill will use it to display some vital data concerning Adab Nestad.

Aerlinn might find that helpful, Turin, thank you!

[Turin Ringhûn]

No prob Aig. I posted it in Gondor, but I figured everyone would want it, so I spammed the post to each kingdom (bad me). Don't know if they'll be put to use at all, but wanted to spread it for just in case.

[Lirimaer]

@Aigronding Mordagnir I'd like a room with a window out to climbable trees - but that's the extent of my requests and knowledge of the future so far!

I am going to be doing some history things, but it doesn't matter to me which thread it's in - if there's a library thread, I will surely use it though - at some stage ... not promising great quantities, as I'm back to work this week and that'll curtail my writing.

OME! Wordsleuth! :smiley8:

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Wordsleuth! That was a fun one to play. I'd be happy to help with that game if needed.

[Arothir]

Figured I should reintroduce myself here. When I first joined the plaza back in '03, I joined Rivvy, so I figured that when the new plaza started I'd rejoin up at my original home, here. Still a giant soft spot for Gondor, though, as it was my last home.

[Eriol]

I appreciate you being neighborly as Talon Karrde would say, Turin!

Lirimaer, I've posted for you and Luthien! A bit of seriousness and a bit of fun! Got yourself trees to climb, Lirimaer, and you can use the library within Elrond's house for the present! Cassie , I'll be posting as Tharmaras and our NPC son today in the Last Homely House for you! I would now but it's 4:31 AM for me... This vampire needs sleep.

Word Sleuth as well as Apples to Apples can be played here, Dimmy!

Arothir, good to see you back! I think you were a royal librarian in Gondor. Enjoy your fun here in Imladris, glad to have you! :D

Quill, I'll make Rivendell Archives for you first thing when I wake up before I write for The Last Homely House again.

[Ercassie]

Reading over your background, too @Lirimaer ! Making me wanna ask Ercassie if she wants to reestablish the Library of Rivendell at some point.

Not sure I would have the time to commit to the library thread this time around, Aig.

I was tempted toward Nariel picking up her Adab Nestad training, but I shall have to see how much free time I can play with first. :smiley10:

[Quill]

Sounds good Aig! Once that's up I should be able to get Adab Nestad up tonight or tomorrow.

[Eriol]

The Imladris Forum Archives thread is posted, Quill ! You can begin putting the hospital-related posts there in as many posts as you feel necessary.

Folks, I'll be there sometime this week for matters concerning the Lindon Dwarves, the Elven Host, the Rangers of the North, and the Bree Foresters. Hopefully we can get a market going centered in Bree where Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, and Mortals from near and far can buy & sell; I could list shops there that people can make, including myself.

[Eriol]

Cassie, it's okay ! Quill is going to make the Library again. I'll edit my LHH post so Erestor says that the library is going through renovations but in the meantime, Elrond has given access to his personal library in the house so Lirimaer can study there until Quill's thread goes up. Trust me, I'll have Astaro swing by on his way East so he can scribble the truth about Maeglin's greatness in a History of the Molefolk tome .

If Nariel comes by she can operate on Aig or Aewrusca. She'll have her hands full. Nariel should know by now that Aig and his daughter have no respect for their self-preservation . Nariel's son could get hurt playing with Cara,,,,

[Lirimaer]

Aigronding Ok, I've posted requesting some hot bathwater, but after that I'll leave Erestor alone - or he can leave me alone! One of those.

[Eriol]

Erestor shall always be around to take care of guest needs :D and don't be surprised if he tentatively disrupts your reading & writing to see if you need more ink, food, or tea :smiley10: ! I'm writing another post there now for Cassie but I'll have Erestor in it too so you can get that hot water, Lirimaer. Bathing is required after long journeys.

We need my red nodding emojie. I miss that.

[Lirimaer]

Hee ... okay, cool. I like a little disruption, as long as I'm not in the bath at the time!

[Lirimaer]

Also - be careful and don't post until it's safe! It is TIME.

[Laintaen]

For those running through the Maze, I have created a new obstacle and updated the opening post. Also, since @Queen Nerwen got all of the combinations right, I have updated which keys fit in which doors to keep people guessing. Enjoy!

[Zôrzimril]

@Laintaen - Ooo more obstacles! And good thinking on the keys. I wasn't sure if it was okay to refer to Nerwen's post if I decided to go back to the doors. :smiley10:

[The Good Hunter]

Just wanted to drop a quick word to anyone in here and say that I've just created a new character (Brôgiaur) who is a grizzly bear (literally just a grizzly bear) and he is free to use by anyone who feels an RP would be enhanced by the presence of a large and furry but dangerous animal.

[Quill]

Adab Nestad is up! Anyone who wants to join as a healer, just let me know and I'll add you to the ranks in the archives. Patients are also welcome as well of course - if none come in soon, I'll NPC one to get us started :)

[Aethelu]

Hello hello, I think the last time I played in Rivendell was about 15 years ago and it was not pretty

I've been thinking hard-ish about a character to play in Rivendell and I'm gonna drop the bio I've come up with in the character thread. As I haven't roleplayed in a very long time and something about it doesn't look right, just let me know. :smiley8:

[Eriol]

I was patient, Liri, now back to posting! I'll be at the Last Homely House again soon for you and Cassie.

I'll be there as Annamiri and Aewrusca soon, Quill! I might have a patient for you, too, which will foreshadow the Elven Host HQ or its forthcoming RPG.

Animals are alwasy welcome, Frost! I play several.

The bio is perfect, Aethelu! I hope you'll be joining the Elven Host when I make it this week.

Let's keep growing strong, folks. I'm proud of the work we've done here.

[Aerlinn]

@Frost brb adding a bear encounter to every post

Will he befriend my cat if he brings him one of Moriel's pies?

[The Good Hunter]

@Aerlinn Absolutely he will! Who doesn't love pies? Even the most evil minions love pies!

[Veowyn]

is there access to the old Adab Nestad Ranks any where? I believe Veowyn had been among them, though I am not sure I want to come back or not yet. I do want to come in and tend to the cinnamon tree I once had in the garden, though :smiley10:

[Quill]

I put a list of the ranks themselves in the Archives thread, Veo - is that what you mean? You can come back as any rank you want, honestly! Just let me know what you decide and I can add you to the list! :smiley8:

[Eriol]

I love the artistic style of your Balcheth submission, Rivvy!

[Zôrzimril]

@Quill - I just wanted to say how great the new Imladris banner looks! Nice work.

[Eriol]

We teamed up! I found the pic. Quill chose the banner and font. Feels like our old co-Ruler days.

[Zôrzimril]

Ah! Nice choice of image, Aig! I saw Quill had posted it in the headers thread but would of course have tagged you too had I known. :smiley10: The new banner makes the kingdom look quite inviting! :smiley8:

[Quill]

Thank you Tarawen! It didn't feel quite right without it. I feel like we used to have important links and stuff in the headers, but one step at a time!

[Veowyn]

Then, @Quill , will you add Veowyn as Nestor and gardener? I think that's what i was at before.

[Quill]

Done and done, @Veowyn!!

[Rivvy Elf]

Thanks, Aig!

[Moriel]

Apologies to everyone I owe posts too (Osdolen and Adab Gelir I think) but my allergies are out of freaking control tonight and none of it is getting done. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day!

[Eriol]

You're welcome, Rivvy!

I hope you feel better soon, Moriel . Always a difficult time of year for us folks with allergies.

[Silky Gooseness]

Hi so I’m an elf now. Show me how to do elf stuff. And where to do it.

[Rivvy Elf]

I can't believe it

[Zôrzimril]

Oh hey @Sil. *waves*

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of surprised you are still a candle, @Rivvy Elf!

[Eriol]

Rivvy illuminates and I respect that, Tarawen . Sil has been an Elf before but this is the first time I think we've got her to switch Kingdoms!



Agent Brows of Mordor welcomes you to your new home in the valley, Sil :D ! Please bathe daily and don't eat people. Don't starts fight over jewelry; that's a thing of the past. About RP threads: The Last Homely House, Adab Nestad, Moriel's pub, and there's a few Free RPs. You can play an Elf at Osdolen, interacting with the Rangers; I'll reestablish n elven-centered army - for all four elven nations - starting sometime this week.

I'm so happy to see Tzulien is back, by the way! Missed her.

[Moriel]

@Sil How am I supposed to identify you without your flame??

[SidraLockel Eltoran]

@Aigronding Mordagnir - quick question - so is the Last Homely House RP still set in TA 3007 or did you change it to TA 3014? Just RP-ed there and want to make I have the right timeline in mind. Haha!

[Eriol]

Hey, Sidra! By popular demand, I changed the year to TA 3014 instead of years before like I orginally planned. It seems that in the Imladris Forum, people would like this place to be Third Age instead of the Fourth like in the forums of Gondor and Rohan. I suppose that's a good thing, that there's a kingdom which is still set in the era Tolkien depicted The Lord of the Rings in.

I have been thinking about the Fourth Age often since I RP the Third here in Imladris and the First/Second on the site Rivvy made which I've been active on since the old Plaza shut down https://lordoftherings.freeforums.net/ . I am going to make a Fourth Age Free RP here in the Imladris Forum for anyone who wants to play their characters of that era within Eriador; that might help members who are roleplaying in Gondor and Rohan now also; they might enjoy bringing their creations to Eriador based on that setting. I know it'll be good for some of my NPCs, Rangers and Bree characters specifically, who would all be living in the reestablished Arnor of King Elessar's Reunited Realm.

So yeah. That's on my list of what few more threads I'll be making here this week but for now, Sidra, just know it's TA 3014 everywhere here in Imladris Forum. I'll RP there again for you, Liri, and Anarie before Monday! Long shifts six days in a row this week but when I'm home, I've been working on editing the next part of Aig's bio, making my NPC Beren's bio in Gondor, and two posts there to get him situated before taking care of more threads here.

[SidraLockel Eltoran]

@Aigronding Mordagnir - No rush. Man, sounds like you've been super busy! Good to know. Third Age 3014. I like RPing in the Third Age.

[Silky Gooseness]

@Aigronding Mordagnir Bathe daily AND don't eat people? You We Elves sure have a lot of rules, don't we?
@Tarawen Ha, you inspired me!

[Eriol]

I'm a big First Age fan, Sidra, but I do love the Third. There's a lot to do in both eras. With the second, the most interesting stuff happens when Numenor sinks as well as people getting beaten up at Eregion and Mordor .

There's a river, pools, and waterfalls here but that doesn't mean you bathe in public either, Sil . You'll have to use a washbasin, tub, and pitchers. And soap, don't forget the soap . We'll get you, right, sweetie. *Airien Mereniel, Aigronding's girly cousin who owns a spa in Rivendell, presents Sil with beautiful silken dresses, tugs a moonstone gold circlet over her head, and sprays her with black orchid perfume*

[Dimcairien Luiniel]

Is flashback RPing in Adab Nestad a possibility? As in, a few months ago before my Ranger character gets to Osdolen? If not, I can try and just write up what I need to have happened.

[Silky Gooseness]

@Aigronding Mordagnir squeeeeee I am totally here for a makeover thread so where do we RP that please *flounces around in finery

can not believe I typed all this out in cold blood

[Eriol]

Dimmy I'm not sure if Quill has seen your post yet but it would be fine by me if you used a flashback RP'ing style for your own Adab Nestad posts. Just include somewhere in your post that it's not the modern day. You can work with a member RP'ing a healer or you may use an NPC of your own; let us know here!

Ooooo, I can GM a fun makeover thread ! MY NPC Airien has a spa and cosmetics guild (cosmetics have been used for thousands of years in a variety of ways so, yay!) in Linyamaril, the manor of Aigronding's family, in Rivendell where it could take place. There could be contestants, too! I'll put it on my To Do List, Sil ! I can have help with it, too, if any ladies would like to assist.

Getting back to Imladris RP threads tomorrow on my day off, folks! I've had long hours of essential work six days in a row this week but I'm off for the next two days. I've just had time for Aig and Beren bios and writing for the Ranger thread in Gondor recently. Back to speed tomorrow!

[Quill]

Ahh sorry, life has been kind of crazy the past few days and I haven't been able to check in. Definitely go ahead and do flashback RP in Adab Nestad, Dimcairien! I'd love to see what stories you tell that way!
