Where is the Old Land? (I should probably check that link) I think it might be very interesting to have a Pukelman around Scarburg. He will feel most not-at-home, I imagine, amongst a scar of rocks, and much swamp land that intends to be drained, and very little woods. Beyond the Scar is plains as far as the eye can see. How will a Dreudan survive in such a forbidding environment?

By that I mean Old Púkel Land, or Drúwaith Iaur.

Not having known of your fascination with the Druadan, I was surprised that such a one will be showing up at Scarburg. Simple as that.

Fair enough Elempi.
I'll probably post my character's entry today or tomorrow.

It's either I've imagined Scarburg wrong, or I've overestimated Ginna's lack of sense of direction. (But believe me, a person can be very stupid when it comes to directions: take it from one who knows.) In either case, let me know if it's impossible for her to get lost.

I don't really intend her to be lost for long, anyone could come up during the night to rescue her, perhaps unintentionally. I just wanted to give her a little scare.

Hey, this is looking excellent. Welcome, Eönwë and Gwath!

Just to let everybody know, I will write at least one post for Modtryth before the next day, she has to have the debate with Stigend she promised she'd have. I know Noggie's quite busy, so if that is a real problem, we can always co-write so that I do most of the job, or we can write a little and then the discussion can be interrupted and continued later. Modtryth is quite a determined person, so she won't leave starting the discussion at all unless something serious happens... but of course that is a possibility too...

And Lhuna - no, you're not too subtle, I think I have a clue at least...

I've talked with Celuien and she reminded me that she has done proper character descriptions for her characters for the Abduction RPG (and I know where they can be found). Now, should we just use these, or should I shorten them to fit the other character descriptions (Celuien said I can do this if I wish)? Opinions?

At last we are beginning to get some new characters. Eönwë and Gwathagor, I'm glad to see that you joined!

I'll do one more post for the night before Erbrand lays down to sleep, unless everyone has to be awakened to to look for Ginna.

So sorry Eonwe.

Just want to point out so that it's clear to everybody: Rowenna as she is currently constituted is not good for Eodwine. She'll only become good for him if and when she changes in character from being self-serving to caring about others. She may be a long way from it, if she ever gets there at all. That doesn't mean that Eodwine won't get tangled up with her. There are too many things he likes about her, and too many things about which he grieves (that she suddenly has to do with) for him to have quite a clear head about her. All that to help understand the post I'm about to write.

So, Lhunardawen -

I edited your bio for Ginna to indicate her hair color as blond. :-)

*big grin* That made my day, Elempi.

I love it, Lhuna! As casually as she could, she ran off! Very funny choice of words. Oh dear...forgive me for laughing...I've laughed easily all day.

I'm not shy, Elempi, just busy and with nothing pressing to write.

Why do I have to be so busy this week? Why have I made myself so busy this week? Anyway, I'll try to write and if I just don't have time, then I have to write post later and it must be moved to its proper place... Anyway, great to see this hall so active.

I'm sorry for that not-very-good post, but what else could Dan do?

What a hilarious pair of posts!

Now Lhuna will have to post yet again!

Groin, there's always the latrine to visit in the night, and who knows whom one might meet? Or just wait if you prefer.

Very nice posts Eönwë and Lhuna, so much action and it still isn't day yet.

If the urging to post comes too strong I'll see if Erbrand can find it. Thanks LMP.
