Scarburg Meadhall Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I could see Eodwine's letter including words for Saeryn to STAY THERE BECAUSE I WILL BE HOME SOON ENOUGH. He knows she is with child (I cannot imagine an Eorling saying the word, "pregnant" without stumbling over his own tongue), and will not want her scurrying to Minas Tirith.

I'm also interested in something IMPLIED in Form's post - we could make the jump a good deal longer than 2 to 3 weeks.

I had notions of Falco being surprised to meet Eodwine half way between Edoras and Minas Tirith.

I don't really care how long the jump is. The longer it is, the more progressed Saeryn's pregnancy. I just care so long as Eodwine comes back...but maybe not so long in advance that all is calm and cool about Athanar's presence still. I don't know. And I am not thinking clearly right now, anyway, so don't really listen to me.

Gotta run.

No, not too long. Like Foley said, we need to pick it up soon enough to gather up the various strands of tension and conflict.

We'd also need to hear from the owners of the newer characters and what they think about the length of the jump as they need to do some adjusting (thinking how their characters will fit in the Mead Hall as they have now been there for only a few - quite eventful - days). Maybe we should hold a short genberal discussion about it even here? How will Wynflaed fit in the household, How about Aedre & the other children, how about the soldiers; Coen, Hilderinc?

I'll PM Lommy, Legate, Mnemo, Nienna, Lottie and Dury at least to wake them up...

I think we need more female characters in play. Females are definitely out numbered at Scarburg, and I don't know why. Wouldn't there be more women and such? I'll come up with one. Any idea of where she would fit in?

I'm thinking about bringing Rowenna back...

Oh, I'm sorry - I totally forgot about this.

I'll start keeping up with the thread again, but for now I'm afraid I don't really have much to add.
