Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread

[Nogrod]

Fea: there is now a direct question to Degas in the ending of my last post.

It would be nice if you reacted but if you can't, I can just delete those two last lines. Whatever you wish.

It's not just you, Nogrod - we Americans, too, have Hamburgers and Frankfurters...though I personally have never heard of a Berliner foodwise.

Well to many of us here in Scandinavia at least it's a greasy doughnut with a melt pink-coloured sugar topping...

Or a sausage... back in the seventies.

JFK: "Ich bin ein Berliner."

Literal translation: "I am a jelly doughnut" (the way to say what he wanted would have been "Ich bin Berliner).

And naturally, only Americans who knew the ins and outs of German grammar cared.

...As you were.

Nice to see you back around Nerindel! If you have any complaints on how Matrim is used while you have been away, please let us know. They can be changed - unless it is old enough and has consequences with the basic storyline and thus is being past redeeming (not that I remember there being such instances further back there).

No its all fine as you will no doubt see, Matrim and Balvir have been pretending to be that which they are not. That is now about to change they are going to be forced to be themselves once more.

Durelin, Foley : Matrim is not at drill, I'm not sure if Ceon would realise this but Thornden should, also Balvir is a captian and a seasoned soldier of Ithielien and as such should have no trouble with anything the new commander throws at him.

[Nogrod]

That looks quite interesting Nerindel! Great!

Now what do you think Neridel, Foley, how should we handle the fact that lord Athanar does not yet know there are these two Gondorians around? Will they purposefully try to hide it - even if Athanar would sooner or later learn about it anyway. Would they come and introduce themselves? Would they discuss with Thornden about it first? What do you think?

Looking at lord Athanar's character I think he would wish to see Matrim attend his table as well with Saeryn and Degas, the nobleman he is.

[Nerindel]

As King Eomer is aware and has agreed to letting them stay in Rohan I would think he would have informed Athanar of the situation before he left Edoras. the question is how does Athanar feel about having a suspected murderess in Scarburg and the households healer at that. (even though the charges against her are false, he can't know that for sure as he has not yet met or spoken with her. ) Matrim and Balvir strongly believe she is not guilty and she has already convinced King Eomer and Edowine in previous posts that she is not guilty. I would hope that their would be a few others in the hall that would also stand for her. As Eomer has agreed to Elessar's decree that she be exiled to Scarburg he will have no choice to keep her there, but he doesn't need to like it if you don't want him too. I'm sure many of the origanal mead hall residance will be upset by the deception, as with King Elessar's decree they will have no need to hide who they are.

Like I have said in my post both Balvir and Matrim will lend their swords if asked, but one of them will now always be with Æðelhild probably in shifts, Athanor may want to have his men watch her too but again that is up too you.

I hope to post Matrim and Æðelhild's encounter in the morning (GMT) I would think they would introduce themselves if Athanar does not summon them first.

Yeah. But only outside of those cities!
