Iarwain has just left Hobbiton.

I suppose I have a few to bury:

"Jamais Errant": never wandering.

and "Un troubadour errant, dédaigné par tous." : a wandering troubadour, scorned by all.

and my first, always my favorite quote from LotR: "'Unless the king should come again?' said Gandalf. 'Well, my lord Steward, it is your task to keep some kingdom still against that event, which few now look to see. In that task you shall have all the aid that you are pleased to ask for. But I will say this: the rule of no realm is mine, neither of Gondor nor any other, great or small. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task, though Gondor should perish, if anything passes through this night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I also am a steward. Did you not know?' And with that he turned and strode from the hall with Pippin running at his side." Quite lengthy, that was probably one of the reasons I changed it.
