[Thenamir]

OK, my latest post is up. Not as exciting or flowery as Rimbaud, but it will have to do.

I expect that Elwood, friend and protector of the trees, is not as affected by the malice-of-the-maples, and may get a pass from the new Ent. But the rest of us are in deep bark-mulch with this crowd, including GreatWarg, since Wargs are usually found in the company of orcs (guilt by association). Remember Sarumman is known to them, and they regard him as an ally, especially since they think that Saruman provided the rain to help end the fire. We are on trial, my friends, and perhaps only the word of the elf can redeem us.

Thenamir is only human, and perhaps could be forgiven for his lapse into terrified madness. I'm just providing the hooks to hang further posts upon. Having carried the storyline for so long, I'm taking a short break. I'll still post, but I'm going to quit driving for a bit and let some of you take it in new directions (subject to approval). Saruman is not done with us yet, but this should keep us busy for a bit.
