Umbar... used to be my fav location, wonderful haven...
Ilmen I had when I was kinda down 😐 besides being the name of heaven, it also means "no place, nowhere"...
And Nurmenel is my fav... again a part of heaven, bearing images of the stars, mirrorings, like a fake reality, a simulacrum of the "true" heaven/firmament, Tar-Menel... the name is supposed to mean "Deep-heaven" I think, but could also be interpreted as "death-heaven" 😑 well, nearly 😂
I think I should change it back to Atalantesse ✅
Snarfem... I like that name 😆 how exactly does it work?
Norway 😱 😱 I used to want to live there 😮

Clovie: I now live in Bergen on the westcoast, you know that cozy little village city surrounded by mountains 😛 I was raised in an even smaller village which you can't find on any maps in the far north where the sami people live. 😄 Where did you stay when you visited ? (And I see you don't think it's a big deal but where do you live -- I'm curiouse 🙂 )
Exabyte: I checked your personal bio ofcourse 😄 ...besides they sounded like something out of middle earth. Beautifull names, I have read LOTR and The Hobbit, but can't recall these names now. Maybe you've heard of Tir-na-nog ? The paradise island in the west (in old celtic / irish mythology) - I think Tolkien must have been well familiar with our old myths and legends, infact I'm reading a book on celtic myths right now, very interesting.
Regarding Snarfem, it's a game of arranging pebbles (or matchsticks, or whatever small and handy) in 4 piles. Two contestants draw x number of sticks for one pile each turn (one may take as many as one wish, even all, but atleast one, and from only one pile at a time) at the end the one who takes the last stick or the last pile wins. The trick is that if you know how to count in binary there is a system which will ensure you to win EVERY TIME ! 😄
You used to want to live in Norway but not anymore ? Why ---
Where are you from ? somewhere in Germany I guess...
