Aidwain had travelled with his friend from Rivendell for days, after the war he had travelled a lot less so he wished to roam about the land where his forefathers so long lived. At last after wandering in the wilderness for so long they had come to Tharbad.

They stepped in a good inn called the Trade Inn to rest for the day.
" Hey, there you, can me and my friend have drink of cool water ?" called Aidwain to the Barman.

" A drink of cool water my lords and lamb stew would go down good I suppose?" called out the Barman.

"Yes very well," said Aidwain. " I haven't had anything proper to eat since that Inn we stooped at, and that was 15 days ago," Aidwain said to his companion.
But she only nodded in apprehension and said," The number of orcs and trolls has certainly gone up since the end of war near the Angle hasn't it Aidwain ?"

The Barman had arrived with their food and drink, so Aidwain could not reply. But he did notice the arrival of a Ranger, two Elves, and a man from the Riddermark just down the dusty path towards the Inn, and he wondered what would such unusual companions would be up to in this land......

Sorry, I should have put this onto the proposal form:

About Elves in Shire RPG's:

Please use this description from Tolkien when crafting an Elf:

Return of the King – Appendix F: Tolkien’s description for the Quendi (The Speakers) – the name given to the Elves by themselves after they first awoke in Middle-earth.

“They were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as Kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finrod; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that is now heard . . .”

Please use this as a guideline for describing your Elven character’s appearance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to change your character's eye color to grey or if you wish, the Shire RPG's will accept a grey blue color.

Thanks!

For your character please include:

NAME: Silrûth

AGE: 701

RACE: Rivendell Elf

GENDER: Female

WEAPONS: Long bow, quiver of golden feathered arrows, well forged short sword, two throwing daggers hidden in her boots.

APPEARANCE: Silrûth stands at exactly 6 feet, with long golden hair and sharp quick grey eyes. A scar from an orc attack runs under her chin but is barely noticible except when she cranes her head upward. She wears a light green tunic trimmed in gold and dark leggings (she finds dresses to hinder her movement in the wildernes) with high light weight boots where she keeps her two throwing daggers.

PERSONALITY/STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES: Silrûth is calm and collected and has a kind if shy disposition. She is extemely adept with the bow and short sword that she carries with her, and she is a force to be reckoned with when angry. Her strength lies in her grace and her skill but her emotions can get the best of her if not checked.

HISTORY: She was born and raised in Rivendell, being the only child in her family she was taught the bow and the sword by her Father though her Mother outspokenly disapproved, thinking it was too dangerous and that a daughter should have other duties. When the War of the Ring came upon her people she fought with the passion of her race. But now little of her people have stayed going into the West forever. She lingers in Imladris, though she wanders here and there looking to aid Man in destroying the remnants of Orcs and other foul creatures that still plague Middle- Earth.

Esgallhugwen's post

Silrûth rode along on her silver white mare, content, beside her companion. It was days after they left Imladris on horse and now she could see that they neared their destination.

They came to the Trade Inn at Tharbad for a brief rest, she was sitting down when her male counterpart called to the barman, " Hey, there you, can me and my friend have a drink of cool water ?".

"A drink of cool water and lamb stew for the lord and lady would go down good I suppose?" the barman called back, then scurried off to fetch the order. Her companion waved him on and turned to her saying, " I haven't had anything proper to eat since that Inn we stopped at, and that was 15 days ago".

Silrûth only shook her golden head, "The number of Orcs and Trolls has most certainly gone up since the end of the War near the Angle hasn't it Aidwain ?" the mere thought of those foul creatures made her body tense and she sneered in disgust. Aidwain was about to reply when the barman came bustling up with the food and drink, he closed his mouth and sat across from Silrûth.

At that moment he turned his head in curiosity and Silrûth followed his gaze. Out of the window they could both see four companions leading their horses up the path to the Inn, a Ranger, a man of Rohan and two Elves.

She took two spoonfuls of stew and a sip of water, waiting for the four to enter the Inn. She felt they would meet very soon.

Zurt was sitting by a small fire with another troll eating roast mutton, when he heard a rustling in the brush. Upon inspection in was just a rabbit.

Not even enough for a mouthful, he thought. He slumped back down wishing that something would happen.
