Yes, I agree. I was kind of wondering what her position regarding the Eagle clan was exactly. I do realize she has an evident grudge against Ayar, but was it for some incident or for her refusal to lead her clan into the fold.

Well, on the surface, it's the latter reason, but who knows? We may find out that the differences go back farther...

Esty,

I am busy through Tuesday night and won't be on much, but after that my schedule opens up.

I think the need for brainstorming is even wider than Wyrma. As far as I know, we had only hammered out the "details" for the rebels down to the point that all the "good" characters joined up at the Eagle clan and Ayar died. These characters include Mith and Airefalas, Aiwendil and Rôg, Pio and Baran, plus all the assorted Eagles. We probably need to get some idea of what the "good" folk will be focusing on next in order to tell what Wyrma and the other baddies should be doing (and vice versa as well).

Pio, Mith, if I've forgotten something specific about the immediate plot beyond what I've said, please remind me.... Also, how does the absent Bird (as a character) fit into this....?

BTW, does Wyrma "have to" stay in Umbar? Might there not be some compelling reason or lure that would cause her to leave: either chasing after her enemies or perhaps going out to find something/someone that would gain her side some advantage. For all I know, both sides could be chasing after something.--Bird or something else.

Whatever we do, I would prefer that the major characters be in general physical proximity or at least be focusing on one particular goal. Otherwise, we get isolated subplots that can be a problem to push forward.

Mithadan has told his tale. It may cause Korpulfr to ask some questions...or not.

Nerindel · 04-07-2004, 08:50 AM

ok Mith you've arroused Kor's couriousity and he wants to know more of this Bird and why she would look for her kin in the southlands.

Esty are you wanting to post something for Tinar before we finish up?

Ealasaide · 04-08-2004, 07:57 AM

Ah, yikes! Many apologies for the absence of myself and Airefalas... I see a lot has been happening.

I subscribed to the threads, but had not received any e-mail alerts regarding the activity, so I was not aware that anything new had been posted. Henceforth, I will not rely on subscription alerts...

I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up again!!! Once I do that, I will get to work on a post.

The action in Gondor had been behind by a number of weeks (I drew out a timeline and plotted all the separate events). So, tomorrow I’ll have a post up that brings the Gondor contingent up to the same time as the evening meal at Korpulfr’s in Umbar.
