How many horses do we have? Who is riding with whom? I've lost track.

Raefindan and Tharonwe are on foot ahead.
Mellondu (Amroth) and Mellonin ride Echo.
Ædegard has his mount, the name of which I forget off hand.

What of ...
Aeron
Leafa
Liornung
Ravion
Erundil
Erebemlin
Taitheneb
Bellynd
Nethwador?

Erebemlin and Taitheneb each have their own horse.

...I'm pretty sure both Bella and Liornung left home on horses.

Quote:

From a short distance, two more riders were watching Ædegard take his leave. The one, being Liornung, touched the shoulder of the other, being Bellyn, and gestured to the group of people and horses.

Unless I've totally missed something and we've ditched our horses completely?

I hope not...poor horses...

Nethwador has his lanky chestnut (Name___).

Ravion has Gond.

Erundil previously had no horse, he must be riding behind or with somebody.
Aeron previously had no horse, he must be riding behind or with somebody.
Mellonin had no horse which is why she is behind Mellondu on tall chestnut Echo (originally Ædegard's packhorse. Generous Ædegard/ pesumptuous Amroth. )

The Rohan group was all mounted, but the Minas Tirith group had only one horse (Gond.)

I had guessed that the elves would do some hard and fast bargaining, perhaps using some of Mellonin's money (fromthe sale of the family shield.) Maybe the reason they are willing to bargain might be that Erundil and Aeron are riding behind Taitheneb and Erebemlin?

Yoiks, lmp-- keep it up and we'll have no choice but to kill him off... A Connecticut Swamp-Yankee in King Aragorn's court!

Either that or make him go stark raving mad like Maglor.

Fear not, Helen. Maegeleb/Tharonwe is Elf enough that he will deplore how against-nature mass production of rifles would be. Although the art of making one appeals to him. Either that or hypnotism. That would fit with osanwe in scarey ways, don't you think? And it would be right down Tharonwe's alley.....

And of course, do notice the current quote in my sig...

So... we're heading towards our first southbound camp in the snowy fields of Gondor, right? And it's-- what, noon? Late afternoon?
