Also:

CHARACTERS NEEDED – These are the ones for whom there are no present players.

1.) Anarya ------- Elf maiden of Thranduil's realm

It’s too much to ask newcomers to be familiar with the former Mirkwood Game and the characters so -

Instead of having people pick up the above characters – why don’t we do this:

CHARACTERS NEEDED

3 Silvan Elves of Mirkwood – males

(Guards/warriors who are on patrol in Mirkwood)

~*~

1 Elf of Lorien – male

(An elven warrior from Lorien, sent by the Lady to find news regarding the disturbances in Mirkwood that threaten Lorien)
