Folwren: in post # 262 you'll want to be picking either the West Emnet or East Emnet; I don't think Tolkien ever gave a clue as to which of the two was first.

Firefoot: in post #263 there was no voice-amplifying sound system, so I don't think an announcer would have been heard during the actual race.

As to Eodwine and Saeryn, I'm waiting for a post from Celuien before I make one myself.

Firefoot · 04-23-2006, 02:42 PM

Righto. I had sort of wondered about that... anyway, I took it out.

Gotcha. I was getting all impatient like you wouldn't believe.

Well, here's a question. Celuien's character Garstan is merely on the way to the fair while Eodwine and Saeryn are already there. I suppose I could do another post yet before Garstan interrupts the (ahem) careful intensities between the two not-lovebirds.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-23-2006, 03:45 PM

That's good for me, since I'd planned on Degas interrupting them after one more post.

Eh, very well. East it will be, then. I think that should be first, seeing as the sun rises first on it.

Anyway, you said 'Middle Emnet' so I figured something would want to come first or last.

I had another question - how long after the Great War is this? Have you any idea? If Eodwine fought in it...was he a young man back then? Or is it not as way 'back then' after all?

Fourth Age Year 15. 16, actually, come to think of it, seeing as a new March 25 has just come and gone lately.....

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-23-2006, 04:21 PM

Do you want me to wait for Garstan's arrival before I deal with Degas and the missing Lady Lin?

Celuien · 04-23-2006, 04:37 PM

Eek! I didn't know you were waiting for me to make it to the fair, so I went to play in my concert thingy today. Took up most of the day.

I'll catch up and write tonight.

littlemanpoet · 04-23-2006, 04:46 PM

Sorry for and incomplete answer, Folwren. Eodwine was in his late twenties when he went to war, and lost a son, and daugher, and a wife back at the Gap while he was gone. Sixteen years later now, he is in his early 40s.

Let's wait for Garstan's arrival as it's most likely to be comic relief just before the tension mounts to something really serious.

Dinna fash y'sel', Celuien. We might be thrumming the boards with our fingers, but we'll be nice to you anyway.

Well that's a relief. I was worried that I might be re-exiled to Mordor for tardiness.

D'ye mean, when Degas comes back and says Lin's missing? I'm definitely looking forward to the excitement, I can tell you...
