*fin laughs and ruffles william's hair* "ah, little william, i suspect you much prefer ponies, eh?"
*then, to Marakith* "william is a brave, stout little hobbit---i much appreciated having him by my side in battle."

The Eotheod will indeed later become the Rohirrim (though literally speaking that is just Elvish for 'Master of Horses' so the Elves tend to call them that anyway; the Eotheod to their own ears become the Eorlings)

"Solid people, Halflings," says Marakith. "My journey was less eventful- the orcs and thrice-damned Dunlendings seek easier prey than those on horseback. You can give a Dunlending a horse, of course, but he would most likely eat it, and there are virtually no Wargs away from the front lines, not yet.

"Where was it you were ambushed?"

-

"I am well," says the old man, Talin, and seems to leave it at that.

-

"I can SEE you are a Gondorian soldier," says the man to you, Anglomir. "What are you doing here? Who is your charge?"

-

Elrond made it clear that no help was forthcoming.

"That is grave news," says Aranarth. "Maybe we can help change your Lord's mind."

"So, what brings you to this court?" Talin asks. Not very talkative is he...

"I advise the King on certain matters," the old man says.

No, he is not saying much, thouigh he looks like he is at death's door to you, Talin.

"I have come from Gondor for specific matters. I'm not supposed to talk about that though. I'm here with Lord Aranui. I was with the group that was defending Princess Malachiel during the Orc raid," Anglomir states.

"On the roads heading towards Fornost. Some of the Lords of this place have been saying that it has never been that far into Arthedain territory," William explains.

"Might there be a name to stick to you?" Talin asks. Then he adds, "Come to think of it, you do not look so well as you say you are..."

"I am as well as can be expected for a dying man. And my name is Malbeth."

-

"They haven't been that deep in before; it is very dangerous for them," says Marakith. He reaches into a pouch on his side and pulls out a map of Arnor, already covered with many notes and scribblings. "Show me," he says.

-

(Aranui not actually a Lord, BB, not until his father dies!)

"Aranui Erendurin? Lord Erendurin's son? Why wasn't I informed of your coming? If you have business here you have business telling me. I am Turambar, King Earnil's ambassador to Arvedui's court. All Gondorians here answer to me."

"lord elrond's intentions are good, your highness. But he can't despense of any of his troops considering the menace on imladris. What is there to convince?" says vardalain

"Simply that Imladris continues as it ever has done since before our memories, completely untouched, whilst our Realm is threatened with imminent extinction. It is being said, and not without cause, that the Elves are not willing to risk one blade of grass of their land for the entirity of the human realms."

"i assure you, your highness, our lord's concerns for arthedain's situation are great. But this realm is still standing, whilst cardolan has long since fallen. If they haven't attacked Imladris so far, it does not mean they won't in the near future. Our city would really be defenseless..."

"And so, fearing for your own way of life, you do nothing at all to help us? You think that even sending one company of soldiers would doom your home? Elrond's memory must be short for an Elf's. My forefathers liberated his people from the yoke of Sauron with no hesitation, nor was his mentor Gil-Galad ever hesitant in sending aid to us. I suppose Elrond will just continue to watch and watch until we are all dead and who wil help save Imladris then?"

"you don't need to convince me, your highness. maybe some matters are better discussed between you and lord elrond. I'm just telling you what i know"

(the poor fella....wish i could help him)

"Well, maybe my father can discuss things with you at some point," says Aranarth. "The change of situation in Cardolan makes our life difficult. I can only hope my father has a plan."

(You are free to draw your own conclusions about the situation, Vardalain.)

Firiel and Nostariel walked into the meeting a few minutes late. Upon entering, the room seemed to become still as these two estranged half-elves stood at the doorway. Both were fair, and had seemed to have similarities between the two, this being because they were twins, though not identical. Nostariel was dressed in a long, golden gown which reached down to her feet. Firiel, on the other hand, enjoyed to dress simple and wore blue leather pants with a matching light blue shirt, in which the sleeves were wide, flowing as she walked. They glanced at eachother and smiled.
Firiel leaned over and whispered to her Nostariel. "Perhaps this is a good time to socialize?"
"Indeed. Let us stay here for a while though," she replied.
Nostariel and Firiel glided over to a corner in which they began to speak to eachother quietly, observing their surroundings carefully.

(huh?...you're not controlling two characters, are you?

my conclusion..well...............we're not looking too bright)

(Lily and Evy are pretty much in cahoots)

(We just put our two characters together for the first post. The others will most likely be separate)

*fin points to appropriate spot on map* ( 😄 how's taht for easy lazy post? *lol*)

(ooh, you lazy Canadians with your joint posts and map pointing!)

"Hmm," says Marakith, marking the spot. "And how did you know it was going to happen?"
