I reckon for the gear both of us in the Imladris Guard will be armed to the teeth with bow, arrows, sword, spear, shield and hunting knife.

I don't know if we need to be fully armoured with cape and helmet? Whatcha think , Ercassie?

And for provision we can have the Elves bringing heaps of cured meat and stale bread... No miruvor and lembas, right? So plenty of water too :encore:

@Ercassie sounds good I'll get a response you you and maybe coax some of those rhymes out of you since that's the next thing is identifying the elven plants.

@Aranadhel miruvor would be a healers (and will be coming with Fuin as she's a master healer) and lembas would be lothlorien so if either of your characters are from lothlorien you might have a little bit but no large stores if it. I can say Fuin will not have lembas

I would think that two Noldo who've together survived the horrors of the Helcaraxe would have some manner of experience to plan for what best they should take into the frozen northlands @Aranadhel :smile: It will be a good opportunity to be able to draw upon that character development to RP out their thoughts on being more prepared this time.

@Fuin Elda, your poor Minestor may very well get 'sung' at by Nariel as a consequence. I have started composing silly rhymes already in anticipation of this ! :grin:

Wise as always @Ercassie.

@Fuin Elda what kind of Elf is your namesake?

@Aranadhel She is a Nandor/Sildar (She was raised in Doriath but born in Nandor lands to Nandor parents)

@Ercassie YUUuuuuuuS this is excellent I love this and I am glad you've already started writing up silly rhymes. I've given you your first challenge for a story or rhyme.

How many of us Elves you plan to go with up North?

Just us 3?

If we don't have more people joining I'd say the story will center around the three of us but we will just have a number of NPCs in the background as well 3 is a bit small that and we will have the Lossoth returning with us as well! Hopefully we have a few more join but we'll work it out no matter what :nod:

Right on, Fuin! Please lead the way!

I can have Nyarane (Aranadhel's apprentice) join the hunt as she is also an Imladris Guard.

Hello to anyone reading and can answer! I was thinking of opening an ongoing bookstore thread where Weny runs a bookstore in Imladris. She has been away for many years and has gathered quite a collection and when she comes back wants to share her knowledge. I was thinking it would just be ongoing where people could come in and chat with Weny, look for a book, have something to eat and drink and post out or hangout for however long. I am assuming looking around I can just open this up, but wanted to make sure. I remember back in the day you had to go through a process. I will check out the Thread Runners FAQ too. Looks like you mostly keep everyone responsible for their own stuff.

Also, does thread this sound fun to anyone else?

The thread sounds like a good idea! The only process one has to go through to open a new thread here is to... well open a new thread. Everything is much more relaxed and laid back than it used to be. I, for one, would gladly participate in the bookstore!

You forgot the tithe. One has to pay a tithe. Chocolate, lots of it or the Dragon eats the thread. So it must be done.

@Sorceress - Awesome! I have to come up with a name and graphics and such. I am excited!

@Winddancer - What if the bookstore serves chocolate? Weny can leave it on the roof as tribute. :heartthrob:

Ooo yes, love the idea of a bookstore!

And here I thought stabbings hoards of gold and such were the way to appease a dragon...

The real question is what percentage of cocoa is in the chocolate we proffer to the dragon. Does she like milk chocolate or dark, dark, dark choclate?

I have to agree with the Dragon. Milk chocolate is the superior chocolate.

Aranadhel: It is because there some interesting activities in Mordor, where people are drawn to, that they are not posting in Imladris. Activities are not dead, but simple bit of dormant at the moment. That's all. :smooch:

Yes I have @Ercassie but it seems everyone has deserted this thread and that makes me sad.

More so am waiting on you still for our Mithrim Elves RP sil vous plait


PS - @Winddancer Like the Hobbits my heart is pure and the Black Lands disgust me so :bearwhip: However I am a good sport and 'willingly' participate in the accursed lands of Mairon if that appeases the hordes in this dear forum :rage: :hammer: :lol: :headbang:

Aranadhel: Likewise :thumbs: . I have not really abandoned roleplaying, but all is posted in Rivvy's place. I have taken up to finish two storylines, that of Nyarámo leaving Gondolin and that Nienna's warrior club in Valinor for the last battle in that era. Which was all for AOA. :smile:

Hey Aiks, where is Rivvy's place?

Let's RP between Nyaramo and Nyarane... before he departs Gondolin for good

Aranadhel: My Little Corner is in OOME, there links to the forum in the openingspost, where most of my accessible works are since april 2018. Sounds good. Still enjoying playing the sister? I love it to see you take her back in action.

Yes I do, Aiks!

So what plot do you suggest between the twins before he departs for good?

Aranadhel: Plot? Ouch, I haven't thought of that. We'll come to something. Nyarámo leaves in FA507, three years before the fall in FA510. It is by FA512 he passes over the Ered Luin into the lands of northwest Beleriand. I don't know where Nyaránë stands by FA500 at the turn of that century. But maybe you have an idea with her as the protoge of Aranadhel and her service in one of the Houses of Gondolin. That part is your make-up of her storyline. As far I can recall she got a certain devotion to her calling as "knight" of the town?

Aiks - Then let's do a story in FA 507.. the year that he leaves Gondolin... Yes, she is Aranadhel's protege and is a member of The House of Wing (Tuor's)...

So where do you want to start?
