I guess the next question is how to break the silence. I think it will be Mellondu's parents' dream.

And if you want Roy Edwards fully manifested at the Gilraen (you were correct)or at Marigold's house or anywhere else in the tale-- should we end it back at the Seventh Star?) you have my full blessing. The Tapestry of Dreams: all threads fully revealed! Dude, would that be COOL.

Roy Edwards fully manifested? Err.... my story so far is less manifested than this rpg! But thank you for the offer and compliment.

It doesn't matter to me where the characters start. We could go for a start at Marigold with a "they had traveled for __ days ..."

I'm still mystified about Nimrodel. How could she die at the Rauros Falls if she was at the Gilraen with the other characters? It just doesn't make sense to me.

But go ahead with Mellondu's parents' dream when you're ready.

If you are time travelling via dream, when you die, where and when do you die? Eldarion and Erendis sort of thing.

I had always known that Nimrodel would follow Boromir down the falls in Frodo's boat, and die. Her heart was in the song of the stream, and they retuned there together in thought. I knew Amroth would "die" / leave before she went down the falls; it had to be Mellondu's fault (the way the story grew). I suppose another option would hvae been for Mellondu to wake up in the clearing after he drove Amroth out, but then Nimrodel wouldn't have gone down the falls, and Marigold wouldn't have come back into the tale. Mellondu going down the falls with Nimrodel made sense to me; she felt it was her duty to take him down safely... and the task proved too much for her. I couldn't have her commit suicide. And I wasn't ready for her to die of a broken heart so soon after recovering her trust in Amroth. So Rauros it was.

I've been dreading that post for nine months.

OK. Sorry for the delay. So do you want me to start writing some stuff for this?

I guess I should write Mellondu's parents' dream. Hmmm. Hoom hom.

SHould have waited... not inspired yet. Hmph.

It's a good start. Feels dreamish.
