LOTHLORIEN- There have been precious few official quotes from the offices of Celeborn and Galadriel lately, and it has caused quite a stir in their realm. What sort of team are they working on fielding this year? Everyone wants to know.

But people are forgetting the Golden Wood Group. After all, the Lord and Lady are primary members of the group, and so its actions can be assumed as statements from the rulers.

And in my opinion, the verdict is- Lothlorien will NOT have a team this year.

Not that it is outside of the realm of possibility- but the fact is the Golden Wood Group is confirmed to have invested in a Wilderland team as well as team Anduin, and with the money that has moved it would be a stretch to attempt to majority own a team in Lothlorien on top of it all.

After the general good feelings that existed between last season’s Anduin players and investors, it was expected that they would field a team yet again. “The potential of a team Anduin is simply too great to pass up,” said a Golden Wood spokeself. “The range for drawing talent is superior to any individual realm in the region.”

Celeborn has made a couple brief remarks in support of team Anduin, and word is circulating that he’ll be suiting up for them. Galadriel, on the other hand, has been seeing a lot of her old friends from Doriath lately. When asked if she would be travelling west to play, however, she insisted that she’d be staying closer to home.

Will she also be with Anduin? We’re uncertain at this time, but we can say definitively that the Woodsmen across the river will fare the same as the Golden Wood Group this year, as they too have invested in both team Wilderland and team Anduin- though of course not as heavily, as they simply don’t have as much power.

At this time Golden Wood looks to be the primary power behind Anduin, but Osgiliath Financial and Rohirrim Ltd. look like they’ll have a significant role as well. As far as the Wilderland squad, Golden Wood Group will be playing second fiddle to the Elves of Mirkwood. They’ll be on more even footing with the Woodmen and, rumor is, Orome. What the Vala is doing investing so far from home is anyone's guess.
