We should definitely explore that, but let's hold off on getting a return letter until the characters on the road are a bit closer to Rivendell, since right now it would mean jumping ahead of them by about a month.

I guess I was sub-consciously thinking air-mail-letters

You're right, he's only just sent off his own. And he said in his letter that they wouldn't be leaving for a while anyway. So no rush.

Rameldir could look back at the first session of his new training instead ... which will need another PM when I've made a draft ...

Take all the time you need to draft it. I'll be off in finals land for the next week and it's bad enough that I'll be trying to write my faeries, much Tolkien's elves, before I've got the Satyricon out of my system.

Nice post, Earniel - you really got the "feel of the land" in it - something that Tolkien did very well (and I don't do well

). I could really see and feel the land around them, and hear the breeze in the trees.

OK, let's work on the next part ... (Earniel thought up an interesting idea ... )

Thank you, RÃ¬an.

Did you get my last mail about that problem you mentioned?

It's easy to just think of books - but for there to be more books to read, empty books are needed first, in these days before the printing press!

I was partially inspired by yours and Willow's posts about Rameldir and Glorfindel writing down stories and thoughts. I reckoned they could use the material.

And I loved the water-fight at the end

Thanks.

Okay, so no more aditions from your side for the second part at the moment?
